Cynthia Rowley Flower & Petal Fragrances

rowley_flower.gifAbout Flower: "A true extension of Cynthia's designs, Flower is feminine and flirty, yet sophisticated. Every note was hand-picked by Cynthia herself, creating a bouquet of florals surrounded by warm woods and musks. The notes include casablanca lily, freesia, cashmere woods, warm vanilla, skin musk, velvet woods, and sandalwood."

About Petal: "Cynthia also created a scent for the little flowers in our lives, such as our daughters. In designing Petal, she didn't need to look and further than her own daughters for inspiration. To create Petal, Cynthia wanted to take the essence of Flower and design and scent that was lighter with a more carefree sensibility. Her eight-year-old daughter even helped to pick the notes that would be in the final bouquet. The result is a floral green fragrance that captures the innocent, youthful blush of freshly bloomed lily of the valley."

rowley_petal.gifJen's Experience: This new pair of scents from Avon and Cynthia Rowley debuted just in time for Mother's Day this year, and it's easy to see the mother-daughter theme. The flower scent is stronger and surprisingly sophisticated for such an affordable scent. It's got a great mix of florals and woody scents that make it a great every day fragrance, and an excellent choice for work. I never fail to get compliments when I'm wearing it, and maybe for that reason alone it just makes me feel pretty.

Petal is clearly the less mature of the two scents, with a heavy emphasis on the floral and much less complexity than Flower. From someone who generally loves floral scents, I am less enthusiastic about wearing this one, which seems a little too girlish, but I can definitely see this as a first fragrance for the preteen or teen in your life.

I love both the packaging and bottles for both scents. They're simple and classic and look nearly antique. The white bottle of Flower is my favorite of the two, but both make an adorable addition to my dresser.

Retail Prices: Flower - $30/50 ml, Petal - $15/30 ml (Avon.com)
