    Man is that an ugly bottle or what? It looks like a mutant green/black olive.

    “Anything is Possible”… wait, isn't that the slogan for Depends (adult diapers)? I almost fell out of my chair laughing!

    Someone call Kimberly-Clark on that one!

    The Ironman logo made me take a second look, but I remain skeptical about Avon products in general. I kinda dig the outdoor gear vibe of the bottle – it is definitely not “pretty”, and isn't trying to be, anymore than my Timex Ironman watch is. The list of notes sounds appealing, but we all know what that's worth, right? Still, given the chance to sniff this, I would.

    Skeptical because you haven't liked what you've tried, or for some other reason? I never get to try any of them so no idea if they do a good job or not.

    I think it is just from childhood memories of Avon ladies and a general sense that Avon is sort of tacky. But I would love to be clued in if I am completely off base.

    I'd love to be clued in too! Wish it were easier to get Avon samples.
