Avon Rare Emeralds got me by surprise. It is an unusual and interesting blend of geranium and woods. Somehow the combination worked out very well on my skin. Never thought that I would enjoy geranium like I do here. I got a quick whiff of citrusy geranium in the opening. Deep cedar, sandal wood and rose petals add a smooth warm tone in the dry down, and an expensive “cosmetic/lipstick” vibe in the very end. It is such a mature fragrance, and not at all a “girlie” one. Rare Emeralds was a blind buy for me, as I was so curious about its geranium note. I’m glad that I did, and now I’m very pleased.

Completely unique! Like a woody balsamic citrus fragrance blurred with the edges softened. It is bergamot, geranium, musk and cedar with some underlying florals supporting it.

It reminds me of Skin So Soft original, green and woodsy, like you would bathe with SSS and than use Rare Emeralds on top.

This was a gorgeous frag that was a one off, the notes I didn’t think would work well, but did it!, for me this is not only the best of the rares collection, but the best of anything Avon has ever made. Wish they brought this back instead of sapphires

Opens with strong green geranium and sour citrus, and segues rapidly into a cedar bomb! This is not the cedar of pencil shavings, nor of hamster cage cedar shavings, but of a cedar chest. Dry, woody, resinous, warm, masculine, deep in tone.
The sweetness of the orange and jasmine is soft, present, but on me the floral and fruity notes are nuanced, just enough to balance the depth of the cedar, adding a touch of sweetness, and lightening the heavy woody accord. There is a little spiciness as well, perhaps the geranium.
The jasmine is lovely, not at all indolic, not shrill or high pitched, a very pretty, soft, contralto. The rose is almost imperceptible to me, and comes and goes in pretty, soft wafts. This is a very unusual fragrance, and nothing I would have expected from Avon. This is a challenging fragrance: strong, powerful, masculine, bracing, woody, green and deep. it does not smell like Silences, or Chanel no. 19, but it is of that genre. I like it a lot, enough to have purchased a second bottle.

Avon Rare Emeralds is a luxurious scent. I am not detecting much woodsy, citrus or musk but a lovely blend of green, aromatic floral. It is an elegant, rich, sophisticated scent and I love it! So far I have experienced Rare rubies, gold and emeralds. I am disappointed in none of them. As for season, Avon rubies and gold are best suited for winter, but this floral, green jewel is appropriate for all seasons to my nose. I sprayed over 10 hours ago and it has bloomed even more fabulous throughout the day. Spicy and opulent, another Avon winner!

I get a touch of green at opening probably the geranium, which fades fast, then its a cedar, citrus with jasmine.. very nice as I dont like green at all… sillage is skin after first 10-15 minutes.. lasts 3-4 hours on me which is average on me..

I really loved this perfume, for me the best of the ‘Rare’ selection. It has been discontinued for some long long time, and I cannot understand why. For me it was mysterious, mellow and sexy and Avon really should bring it back. ASAP.

I have got a full bottle of this perfume on ebay. I have not smelled it before I bought. It is unusual perfume. I can hear very bright geranium which gives some green bitterness to the whole composition. Cider and woodsy notes add some velvet finish what makes this perfume more refined. Orange sweetens the geranium slightly as well. Bitter sweet symphony alright.
I have mixed feelings about this perfume. It is not comforting perfume as ordinary comforting perfumes could be. It is edgy and velvety, elegant and rebelious at once. It is dusk time perfume, sometimes weird, but that is what makes it attractive. Nearly addictive in small doses.
