    Avon Somewhere is barely there. I have a vintage micro mini of this perfume, and it’s yet another Avon scent I dislike.
    The fragrance reminds me a bit of Windsong, but it’s not as thin or as sour. I just applied a bit of Somewhere and it’s almost gone – no sillage, no longevity.
    I hate to say it but Somewhere is dated in the worst way, unremarkable and so much like other cheap frags.
    Maybe my sample is off, this is a vintage after all. The fan shaped bottle is cute, but the stuff inside is forgettable.

    Somewhere perfume oil is an experience onto itself. Extremely flowery soapy aldehydes, potent cypress and balsam, and at one point something that resembles oak moss and galbanum to my nose shines through and Somewhere veers off into resembling Charlie by Revlon so much that it hurts. It’s such a lovely little vintage fragrance all the same. It’s prim and clean yet quirky in a delightfully old fashioned way and I love it! I don’t smell too many distinct floral notes as they all seem to get lost in the soapiness and smothered by coniferous trees.
    Somewhere has impressive longevity. I applied a bit before going off to work and more than 7 hours later the scent was still lingering around. Sillage is soft and polite and won’t knock anyone’s socks off. It’s unlike any other perfume I’ve ever smelled and is like the love child of a Christmas tree and a bar of soap. With the sort of prices you’ll see online, it’s not the worst vintage to play around with as a novelty.

    Somewhere Perfume – Dram bottle Circa 1963- Very soapy like a bubble bath but way fresher and more defined than the aged cologne reviewed earlier. The 1963 Avon Outlook catalog I found on the Hagley site lists the components as “violet, heather, lilies, and mimosa, touched with jasmine and the cool freshness of cypress and balsam.” I think the cypress and balsam give Somewhere a fragrance that’s a bit too much like a bath soak for sore muscles or a luxury cake of hand soap.
    Devolves into woody, oakmossy – I think, mostly lily-scented soapiness. A little bit like Mitsouko without the peach. I suspect these mid-century Avon classics attempt to emulate French perfumes but I don’t know which one Somewhere may be trying to mimic. I can’t distinguish any heather or violet or mimosa under the noisy lily smell. Might have some musk because it also has some of the bite of Unforgettable, which I think is musk. The cologne seems to be a lot more floral and lighter.
    The ad describes Somewhere as “heavenly” and “ethereal” but it seems very earthbound to me, more woodland glade than otherworldly.
    Not a bad fragrance but nowhere near the floral chypre wonderland of Avon Rapture. These early 60’s drams of Avon perfumes in clear ridged glass vials with shiny brass caps seem to be one of the best ways to get an authentic whiff of some of Avon’s popular mid-century fragrances. My bottle was only $10.00 and still in the box. Originally it sold for about $2.50 according to the catalog.

    Soapy to the max. Somewhere is a gentle, powdery floral fragrance. I have a vintage version of this cologne in the original, weirdly amorphous bottle with the pink, plastic screw cap, which is topped with pink sparkles. I tested it by sprinkling a drop or two on a slip of acid-free resume paper and letting it dry. The smell was not unpleasant and became stronger and more soapy as time passed. Very ladylike fragrance, sweet and mild, perfect for wearing to that bridge club get-together.
