This must be one of the last undiscovered gems out there. A classic floribunda with a rich chypre base, Vivage approximates an offering from an 80s top-tier design house. It was crafted by Jean-Pierre Bethouart, the perfumer of such iconic fragrances as the Boucheron signature scents for women and men, Ange e Demon (edp and, my favorite, extrait),and Caron’s Parfum Sacre. Like its siblings, Vivage is a class act, as are Louis Feraud’s other collaborations with Avon in the 80s: Fantasque, Cote d”Azur, & Jour.
My vintage new bottle of Eau de Cologne starts off with a bright woody note- pretty daring.. The grapefruit adds an unusual and refreshing twist to the top. The Pink Pepper is nothing like the obnoxious and synthetic feeling PP that abounds in today’s fruitchoulis.
The heart surprises with a blast of powdery florals, dominated by cherry blossom & heliotrope contrasted with ripe tart fruit & beeswax.
The woody notes persevere throughout, and this fragrance becomes linear after about 15 minutes. The sillage is big and the longevity absurd- all day, as an Avon fragrance should perform! Vivage touts the classic Avon musk base, but it is carried oh-so-beautifully by an unexpected host of quality ingredients. Well worth the $15 a bottle can be found for.

I have a mini of this perfume whose top notes may be gone but this fragrance is unusual in that it starts off Chypre-ish but the dry down is creamy vanilla. Not bad but not great either. A 3 out of 5. Would love to see what others think.
