I received my blind bought bottle today. I really like this! It is warmer than I was hoping it would be; with the iris and jasmine, I was hoping it would be an affordable “cool” vanilla. Despite not being what I was hoping for, this is deliciously wearable. The seeetness does seem to fade with wear to a mildly oriental feel. My daughter said it smelled like vanilla ice cream.
This is my first Avon product and I am pleased with my purchase.
UPDATE: I have had this for two weeks and wear it almost nightly. The initial burst of overwhelming sweetness the first day settled as the bottle recovered from its trip. It is a musky, powdery vanilla. Lasts well over 9 hours on my skin; dries down to a gorgeous sweet vanilla.

The original Prima is listed as Avon Prima / Dreams on Fragrantica. It was sold as Dreams outside of the US.
Both of these scents are exceptionally good and very wearable.

I just realized that there is not a category here for the original “prima.” Of all three of the primas, the original is the BEST. It smells JUST like Chloe Chloe and is long lasting. If you have not tried the original, please do so if you love Chloe.

Prima Noir is the nighttime version of Prima. This is flowers and heavy vanilla. This thick vanilla brew has a lovely floral touch. The beautiful ombre bottle matches the scent exactly. It is sultry and romantic,perfect for date night. One of Avon’s finest.

A super duper sweet vanillic fragrance. Violet and jasmine are a little off putting with vanilla. Prima Noir is absolutely a “noir” perfume and carries Avon’s style pretty well. The vanilla here is intense but it doesn’t not smell like vanilla in edible cakes or desserts at all. It is a floral vanilla scent. Because the scent does develop sweeter and sorta “heavier” in the dry down, a little spray goes a long way and over spraying can cause light headache in a closed space. I smelled more of powdery violet than jasmine thru the whole process, and it somehow evokes my sense as if it also has a pinch of cinnamon added on. The complete dry down is just a purely sweet vanilla scent.
Prima Noir is not a girlie, casually fun fragrance. It is a little more “serious” and mature than that. It suits perfectly for an evening event with cooler temp. Sillage and longevity are a little more than average. To me, it is in the same rank of style, but not similar to the original Avon Far Away.

The reviews are spot on. This spicy-sweet musky vanilla is absolutely a win for Avon. It “softens” down quickly and isn’t overbearing. Love it!

One of the “better” scents from Avon.
This one starts off sweet,then goes through changes on my skin,finally ending up as a powdery musk vanilla in the drydown. It opens with sweet jasmin/violet…muskiness. I find the violet shy,and it seems the violet is underneath the other few notes.
Yes,admitidly,this also has that Avon-ade that a lot of Avon scents have,which is a tad off-putting,but more acceptable here than in other previous Avon scents.
So, all in all I like this scent alot so far. Projection is decent and longevity is moderate.

I bought it because I love Far Away Infinity and they did alright with that Jasmine/Vanilla combo. This is a lovely scent that will make you feel cozy and delightful. It doesn’t last as long as Infinity. It is more like Lancome’s Hypnose. I wear it when I want to feel extra pretty or spray it on my pillow before bed.

I tried a bottle; blind buy from rep. The compliments just keep coming. Rich with notes of vanilla, but darker….the violet is subtle.
It comes across as a classy, lingering fragrance; similar to Avon Passion…. it a little more dark vanilla.
Worth it!

My co-worker sells Avon and I discovered the scratch scent in the catalogue so I thought I’d gift myself for Christmas. Prima Noir is very pretty and I’m happy with this purchase.
I cannot stop smelling this. The black vanilla really grounds and softens the floral. I absolutely love the violet and jasmine, not overpowering at all. A bit sweet but in a good way. This scent would really shine on a cool evening but I love it so much I’d probably wear anytime of day.

So so beautiful! This just grabbed me when I smelled it at the Avon store (they have my holy grail shampoo ;)). This is just absolutely lovely!!! Warm vanilla softened by the violet. Mmmmmmm!
BTW, the shampoo is the 360 argon. Just in case you were wanting to know. Ahem. 🙂

If you love vanilla in perfumes you need this in your life. I say this about every vanilla heavy fragrance, but this is the best vanilla ever!!! It’s a heady sweet sexy vanilla. Extremely long lasting, easily hits the twelve hour mark. Smells a bit like Avon Passion but without the fruity opening. This is the type of fragrance that makes me want to order five back-ups, just in case Avon dares to discontinue it. I want to keep smelling this forever, it’s so good!

Wow! Avon nailed on a great blend of scents. I am an Avon Rep and tried and own many of their fragrances. This is similar to Passion, which I love and get so many compliments on, but this bit more floral. I consider musky or ambery types of scents as “heady” or intoxicating”; rich on warmth. This is one of them. Quite beautiful, with sweet and soft florals and soothing, lingering warmth of musky vanilla. A great scent of fall and winter but will use it year around for special spring and summer nights and occasions.

Avon did well with this one! It’s long lasting, sweet and spicy vanilla. I’ve been wearing it for a few days now and finally realized it reminded me of Todd Oldham Todd Oldham.

Prima NOIR will be AVON’S 2017 Big Holiday Launch which Typically Avon saves this time for their Best Offering of The Year, Just going by the Scratch and Sniff In my rep Material, Prima NOIR smells Really Good, Deep And Sweet…I will Update once I get the actual juice in my Hands by this upcoming weekend!
Oh And I LOVE The New Ad campaign and The BOLD Colors That Courtney Lavine is Wearing, STUNNING!
UPATE: I Just received My Bottles and samples of P.N. yesterday and this is Definitely a Sister to Avon PASSION the Only slight difference is with PASSION having a Brighter Fruity opening And P.NOIR’s shy Violet top note which to My nose doesn’t last very long going Right into the Beautiful Jasmine and Decadent Vanilla, it’s Deliciously Gourmand Creamy And Sweet, so if you have and Enjoy Passion this will Surely Please your senses Too!

This is Avon’s newest edition to their Prima lineup. I do like this one. The notes are listed as Top: violet, Heart: jasmine, Base: black vanilla. Some classify this as a nighttime scent but I find it is great for any time. On myself it last a very long time, even over night after sleeping. I am an Avon Rep. so I got to get this early. I think it actually comes out in about one or maybe two more books. I do love the dark purple bottle and the cap is quite solid and easy to open. I love the combination of notes. I can smell the lovely violet right away with the first spritz, and then the jasmine with the vanilla included makes the dry down spicy in a wonderful way. It kind of reminds me of one of my favorite Avon scents right now, Passion. Prima Noir has something about it that reminds me of Christmas. Not so much as Passion reminds me of Christmas but still there is something in the mix. It may be the vanilla? I think this fragrance would make a great gift for any one this Holiday.

I have had a chance to try this perfume already.
I work with Avon as well. This smells very nice I think. Nice bottles for this line as well.
I recommend this for any vanilla fans.
