12 Popular Avon Perfumes Reviewed
The best Avon perfumes for women offer a glamourous mix of attention-grabbing notes with a timeless retro edge. Here are 12 fantastic Avon fragrances to consider.
1. AVON Far Away Eau de Parfum
Review
Standing the test of time since its launch in 1994, Far Away Eau de Parfum has established itself as one of the most loved fragrances at Avon.
With an almost Estee Lauder vibe, this eclectic blend of luscious fruits and ethereal flowers will whisk you off on a journey into the oriental and exotic.
The opening captivates you with the floral aroma of ylang-ylang blended with peach, orange and sweet coconut. As the creamy, fruity opening settles, a floral heart of jasmine, gardenia, freesia, and osmanthus blooms beautifully.
Sensual vanilla in the base has comforting support from sandalwood, amber and musk, bringing you home to comfort and warmth. The dry-down is soft, creamy, and exotic.
I feel Far Away is best suited for autumn/winter. It will make any occasion feel incredibly special. A couple of sprays usually lasts 5+ hours with good sillage and projection too.
The round glass bottle with a round pink cap screams cute, and yet the tassel gives it a touch of exotic mystery. It is just the right fit for your handbag, in case an extra spray is needed.
Overall, Far Away Eau de Parfum is a feminine vanilla fragrance with powdery flowers. It is pretty, warm and comforting.
Top Notes:
Peach, Coconut, Orange, Ylang-Ylang

2. AVON Far Away Glamour Eau de Parfum
Review
True to its name, Far Away Glamour Eau de Parfum is a fruity-vanilla fragrance that possesses a welcome touch of decadent spice. This fragrance was launched in 2019.
The opening of begins with bright blackcurrant bud and grapefruit dusted in pepper. A heart of vanilla and orange blossom are spiced by orris root. These provide the perfect transition to a soft and woody blend of patchouli and black musk.
Far Away Glamour stays with you all day and will last 6+ hours before becoming a skin scent. The sillage and projection are both strong enough to make itself known to people around.
The perfume performs best in colder weather or cooler summer evenings. I would say it is ideal for date nights or events when you want to let the world know who the boss is!
The black bottle with his black top and a black tassel in its neck gives it magnetic appeal, and the gold in its rim and label exudes luxury.
Overall, the delicate balance of the spicy, floral and woody notes endows Far Away Glamour with an aura of mystery, luxury, and charm.

3. AVON Far Away Rebel Eau de Parfum
Review
Far Away Rebel Eau de Parfum fuses deliciously decadent gourmand notes to create a fragrance that will unleash your rebellious side. Reviews of this scent mention that it smells similar to Mugler Alien.
The opening aroma of blackcurrant and crème de cassis is utterly delicious and smells expensive right from the start. A heart of refreshing orange blossom offsets the sweet and creamy opening. Upon dry-down, salted chocolate and toffee provide delectable charm. Wow!
Sweetness from the first spritz could feel strong, but it mellows out shortly and stays with you for 6+ hours. Both longevity and sillage are moderate to fair.
The perfume is perfect for colder temperatures when you want to wrap yourself and enjoy a warm night in. You could also wear this to work or for formal events to show off your alluring side.
The deep purple bottle holding this perfume also has a rebellious streak with its twisted, striking design.
Overall, Far Away Rebel can easily become your signature autumn/winter scent. It is ideal for anyone intrigued by gourmand fragrances.

4. AVON Today Eau de Parfum
Review
Today Eau de Parfum by Avon was launched in 2004. This distinctive fragrance is a sublime combination of floral, woody and musky notes that really grabs attention.
The initial floral hit comes from freesia and hibiscus with hints of cactus. A heart of tuberose blends the Bird of Paradise flower brilliantly, with orange blossom giving a refreshing kick before settling down to a woody floral musky scent.
The musk and cedar base provides the perfect dry down that is floral, yet has a deeper exotic feel.
The longevity of the perfume is moderate and stays with you for a good 5+ hours. The sillage is strong enough to announce your arrival and turn quite a few heads.
This well-balanced fragrance is perfect for all seasons, day or night. Whether you are getting ready for a dressier occasion or just staying in your pj’s, at work or on a date, this perfume can work its magic just the same.
The heavy glass bottle is transparent and shows off the beautiful liquid inside. Looks far more expensive than it is.
Overall, Today Eau de Parfum is distinctive, elegant and feminine. I recommend this as an everyday perfume that is ideal for any occasion.

5. AVON Tomorrow Eau de Parfum
Review
Released in 2005, Tomorrow Eau de Parfum is a feminine blend of floral, woody and sweet scents with a hint of the spicy oriental.
The opening of this fragrance is striking. Pepper dusted marigold slowly fuses with the gourmand sweetness of peach and raspberry.
A heart featuring African violet and orange blossom provides a sweet, powdery bridge to the base notes of sandalwood, amber, rosewood and musk. It dries down to a sensual scent with traces of creamy peach, marigold and spicy sandalwood.
This fragrance has reasonable longevity of 4+ hours. The sillage and projection are both moderate; however, if applied on a scarf or clothing around the neck area, the perfume projects better.
The sweet, spicy, creamy and woody mix makes it a perfume for all occasions. Season wise, I feel it is ideal for autumn or spring, but you can wear it on cooler evenings in any season.
The golden peach bottle looks simple, elegant and classy. The round chunkier body with the label “Tomorrow” encircling its neck gives an impression of a minimalist design.
Overall, the sweet/woody/floral notes interact beautifully to make Tomorrow a sophisticated, classic, and elegant fragrance.

True to its name, Little Black Dress Eau de Parfum is a flirty yet classy fragrance with an oriental twist. The perfume launched in 2016 blends floral, powdery, woody and musk to perfection.
You can immediately smell the fresh citrusy sweetness mingled with exotic honeysuckle and a hint of pink pepper’s woody scent at the first spray. It transitions to an oriental floral smell towards the middle with jasmine, peony and ylang-ylang in the heart.
Little Black Dress develops a creamy woody tone from sandalwood and vanilla. The musky aroma stays with you as it dries down, giving you an aura of warmth, classiness and sophistication.
The perfume is mild and yet noticeable, with one application lasting 4+ hours. The sillage is moderate but enough to leave an impression.
This is an ideal fragrance for everyday wear, whether it is for work or play. Classy and elegant, you can enjoy this fragrance all year round.
The perfume comes in an attractive glass bottle with clean lines. The design is simple and chic and differs from the usual Avon bottles.

7. AVON Incandessence Eau de Parfum
Review
Incandescence Eau de Parfum transports you to a beautiful summer’s day with its fresh floral fruity scent. Launched in 2000, this fragrance combines summer fields filled with flowers and fruits and is almost J’adore in its delivery.
At the first spray, Incandescence opens with a burst of exotic orchid and rose, sweetened with soft peach. Tulip and peony rise subtly and softly and balance the initial sweetness. A smooth woody base discreetly adds balance for a pleasant dry down.
Incandescence has reasonable longevity, and without reapplication, can last 5+ hours. Sillage and projection are moderate to fair.
This is a versatile fragrance. Perfect for cold weather when you yearn for the summer warmth, yet can be worn on all but the hottest days. Leans more towards daytime wear. It works well as an office scent or for dressier events.
The bright spherical bottle with detail in its bottom is a reminder of the sun and its ember rays. The orange hue of the perfume inside definitely spells warmth.
Overall, Incandescence is a cheerful fruity-floral scent with mood-lifting appeal. It radiates joy and fun to warm and brighten your day, no matter where you are.

8. AVON Rare Gold Eau de Parfum
Review
Launched in 1995, Rare Gold Eau de Parfum is a floral aldehyde fragrance with a luxurious and sophisticated edge. Many reviews have commented on how much this scent smells like some Elizabeth Taylor fragrances.
The strong ylang-ylang opening mixes with mandarin orange and softened by golden melon. A white-floral heart reveals jasmine, orange blossom, lily of the valley, tuberose, and gardenia. Aldehydes bring lightness.
The base notes offer a sensual climax when the amber, sandalwood, musk, vanilla accord caramelises into your skin. The dry down is heavenly with the lingering musk and the warm amber.
Rare Gold’s sillage is on the softer side but will not go unnoticed from people close to you. Longevity is a stronger aspect and easily lasts 6+ hours from the initial spraying.
The perfume can perform better in colder weather or cooler evenings in warmer weather so is pretty much any-season. The rich and luxurious smell of the perfume can be ideal for special date nights or formal occasions.

9. AVON Maxima Eau de Parfum
Review
Maxima Eau de Parfum is an alluring white floral fragrance released by Avon in 2019. This scent is a masterful concoction of flowers and fruits that many say smells very close to Paco Rabanne Olympéa.
Maxima opens with lush, fruity nectarine balanced by the smoky floral scent of the immortelle flower. Sweet jasmine sambac blends with sensual woody notes to form a white floral scent with woody/fruity hints.
Longevity is moderate and needs reapplication after 4+ hours. However, the strong initial sillage and projection of this fragrance will reel-in the compliments!
Ideal for any season, you can make this easy-going fragrance your all-year-round perfume, and it is perfect for all occasions too.
The perfume comes in a classy gold bottle, and its gold cap is a pleasant surprise with leafy detail that looks very classy.

11. AVON Eve Truth Eau de Parfum
Review
Eve Truth Eau de Parfum is an aromatic fruity-floral fragrance that leaves you feeling refreshed and energised. Fans of this scent have commented that it smells close to Marc Jacobs Daisy.
You will get an initial fruity whiff of sweet pomegranate blended with cassis’s blackcurrant/woody scent. These top notes soon usher the floral sweetness of freesia, peony and gardenia. The cedar, musk and amber notes in the base provide a deep and luxurious finish.
Eve Truth lasts 3+ before becoming a skin scent and has moderate sillage. Since it is not a heavy scent, you can reapply to extend its longevity and projection without overpowering.
This fragrance can quickly become your everyday spring/summer choice. It is a feel-good scent that is ideal for wearing for work or on a day out doing something fun!

12. AVON Timeless Eau de Toilette
Review
The classic Avon perfume Timeless Eau de Toilette has lived up to its name since the early 1970s. Although the fragrance has undergone several reformulations over the years, it has stayed faithful to its chypre floral DNA.
This fragrance has floral and aldehydes note with light citrus soon being overpowered by pretty gardenia. You cannot miss the middle notes’ floral accord, where jasmine and iris are most prominent. The rose is subtle.
Spicy, musky patchouli mingles with amber, opoponax, tonka bean, musk and vanilla. It settles with a resinous dry down with bright aldehydes that is sweet and powdery yet elegant.
The perfume lasts 6+ hours on skin and longer on clothing and has a strong sillage. A light spritz is enough to last you all day.
Its strong projection makes Timeless an ideal perfume for cold weather, between autumn and winter. The rich fragrance can be your perfect aromatic accessory for special events and formal occasions.
The design of the bottle could do with a makeover if I am honest. The hexagonal faceted bottle is slightly at odds with the timeless liquid it holds inside.
Timeless is a deeply alluring cold weather scent that is warm and resinous, yet brightened by attention-grabbing aldehyde. Offers incredible value and well worth picking up a bottle if you can.
Top Notes:
Aldehydes, Gardenia

Patchouli, Cedar, Iris, Jasmine, Rose
