I recently received a bottle of Here’s My Heart from eBay. It was in a ‘lot’ of several other Avon fragrances. I knew this was an older Avon perfume, but did not remember the scent. My bottle actually contains cologne and is in a rather older looking box with the words Scentiments Here’s My Heart. I was not expecting much since I cannot tell how old it is, but I really like it. I have had it on now for several hours and love the soft powdery smell I am now getting with some woody and green notes. I cannot compare it to anything else at this time, but even though it is somewhat old fashioned, I think I will try to find another bottle. I can’t stop sniffing my wrist, so I believe I am falling for it.

I was able to get my hands on a vintage Avon sampler kit- the card describes Here’s My Heart as “Warm and sentimental… a floral nosegay (yes, really, a nosegay), rich woody accent, and the breath of fresh mosses”

This has been in my family since around 1950. My mother always kept a bottle of it on her vanity for years and it is now in my collection. Its a big blue carnation that reminds me of the night. Its pretty blue in all ways. Blue velvet? Cinderella’s dress?
Its powdery and elegant without seeming haughty. I get rose and iris after awhile after the dry dusty accords come forward. That carnation dominates the entire event that can last 5-6 hours. I imagine all of those prom dresses scented in this. Avon produced complex affordable scents to the large consuming market of baby boomers. This was one of the best sellers.
Its a lost classic that is here and there for the curious. Modern noses would wince or fall off altogether.

Starts off as a frightening burst of sharp aldehydes. After a few minutes though, I get crisp, powdery iris backed by verdant woods. Very plush, and while it is “old-fashioned” it is in a “boudoir-ish” way. I quite like it!
This one actually struck me as similar to Prada’s Iris perfumes (though it does not at all smell the same) as they are powdery green frags, that are unusual compared to today’s fruity-patch-floral cocktails. Very elegant, and even though mine is an EDC, it packs a punch!

I love this for a slightly different reason: this is the scent my grandmother wore
for years. The scent itself is pretty similar to Coty L’aimant, but it is softer and less in-your-face.
After a while, a smoky note develops that L’aimant doesn’t have. It’s a bit difficult to talk about the fragrance since I’m working off a vintage bottle and cannot be entirely sure it’s reflective of the fragrance in its heyday. This is a very ‘old’ style scent and not something that would probably go over well today. I like it because of the associated memories. Definitely not a summer scent as it would become too overpowering, I think.
