12 Best Smelling Avon Perfumes for Her

Avon has released a seemingly untold number of fragrances for both men and women over the years. Today, we are going to focus on those for the ladies, and try to narrow the list down. One of the big problems is that, many scents get discontinued, and some get changed from how they originally were. It happens.

Nonetheless, I have still gone through and selected, twelve of what could be considered the best of the bunch. Obviously, I can’t hit them all (there are hundreds in the back catalog), but this definitely provides a great starting point. Note: the numbers aren’t an indication of ranking, more just to keep track of these perfumes.

What are the Top Avon Fragrances?

Best Seller

1. Avon Far Away Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 1.7 Fluid Ounce– Far Away has been popular for decades now and as such has probably undergone at least some reformulations.

Nevertheless, it is a floral perfume with sweet peach and vanilla, plus some underlying warm amber and sandalwood.

It settles into something that is quite warm, with plenty of jasmine and freesia, doing their thing in the heart of the fragrance.

Up top, you get a creamy vanilla and coconut blend, which really comes into its own later on. With the array of floral notes, taking on a supporting role.

Spicy Warm Floral Scent

2. Avon Rare Pearls Eau De Parfum Spray 1.7 Fl. Oz.– Rare Pearls is a spicy and honeyed floral fragrance with a great plum opening, a lot of magnolia, and that thick sweet honey note. The top of the perfume has a pretty intense pepper note, but that calms down a lot, as it wears on.

This one is more of a mature perfume, with a classic composition, and musky undertones during the dry down.

It smooth and woody, at the base, with that familiar plum aroma floating around during the wear. Very warm and interesting floral.

The magnolia and honey notes, end up, sitting on top of a base of sandalwood and rosewood. The musk, in the end, is rather soft and supports the sweetened magnolia top.

Top Overall Pick

3. Today for Her Eau De Parfum Spray– A very floral fragrance that is dominated by freesia and tuberose, with flanker notes of cactus (yep) and orange blossom.

Quite a fresh and feminine wear with a hint of musk to bring it all together. A white floral bouquet with solid sillage and overall performance.

A nice little daytime wear, for the price, that has a lot of energy and a very attractive smell. Today for Her is definitely a great value buy, particularly for those who enjoy the scent of freesia or tuberose.

The opening act with the orange blossom, is the most interesting part of the wear, but the entire floral arrangement in here is a joyous experience. This is a very good daily wear, for those who want a floral perfume, that’s not overly ‘green’ or garden-like.

Top Winter Fragrance

4. Avon Imari Seduction Eau De Toilette Spray 1.7 Fl. Oz.– Imari Seduction features an opening with juicy berries and tart plum. It’s a nice mix of sweet fruit notes, that are joined by rose and orchid.

As it dries down, the floral notes do come out more, but the plum remains a highlight.

Vanilla, amber, and musk sit at the base to provide a light sweetness and more of a solid profile. It does everything well and is a very pretty fragrance from Avon.

Imari Seduction is a nice change of pace from the bright and happy floral perfumes, with something that is dark and still sweet enough to be very pleasant. The plum and amber together, is a winning combination, giving a sweet smokiness, along with the vanilla.

Classic Avon Fragrance

5. Avon Little Black Dress Eau de Parfum Spray 1.7 oz.- This one still deserves a mention, even if it has gone away from its original reformulation with a stronger plum and gardenia note. Nowadays, it opens with a citrus blast to go along with, the plum.

It still features white floral notes with sandalwood and musk underneath. The jasmine really stands out now, as the dominant floral.

So, a citrus/plum mix with jasmine (hints of other florals) and that warm base.

Floral Fruity Perfume

6.Avon Rare Gold Eau De Parfum Spray 1.7 oz FOR WOMEN– Rare Gold is another floral scent, but with peach and ylang ylang, to separate it from the others on the list. Yes, jasmine and lily of the valley, round out the bouquet but tuberose and that ylang ylang really lead the way.

Rare Gold is more of a fruit/floral mix, with an amber dry down, punctuated with vanilla sweetness. The peach note is really the key to this fragrance, which livens up the whole composition, to make it go beyond just being another white floral fragrance.

Very nice performance and pretty strong sillage, when compared with others from Avon.

Rare Gold has a bright and sunny feel, a great way to get a floral burst, without having to go fully into a full floral perfume. With a light woodiness, to provide some more substance.

Best Springtime Scent

7. Avon Haiku Eau de Parfum Spray– Kumquat and yuzu are some of the fruit notes that help to set Haiku apart, along with a fantastic and clean, lily-of-the-valley note.

Refreshingly cool, crisp, and clean Haiku is a lighter perfume with dewy and outdoorsy undertones. An understated wear, which is safe to wear to work or casually.

The Japanese inspired notes, help to take the usual floral fragrance, and create one that is distinct while being familiar. The latter stages, move away from the more citrus/green start, and more towards the floral end of things. Plus, a woody base, headed up by sandalwood.

In the end, you get a light musky jasmine, peony, and lily with the subtle remnants of fruits still making their way around. Also, a bit of a powdery finish.

Great Floral Musk

8. Avon Pur Blanca Eau De Toilette En Vaporisateur 50ml – 1.7oz– A super simple and clean wear with freesia, musk, and some peony thrown in. Pur Blanca is purely light and one that is easy to grab and wear on a warmer day. This is a fragrance that you can definitely double up the sprays on.

Each of the floral notes seems to have its own time period to shine and it kind of rotates between them. There is also some musk, in the mix, but it is very light a doesn’t distract from the flowers. Pur Blanca is a very casual type of ladies perfume.

Great Far Away Flanker

9. Avon Far Away Infinity Eau de Parfum Spray 1.7 Fl Oz– Far Away Infinity utilizes the Far Away name to great effect. You get the same jasmine note with some sweetness and creaminess.

The bergamot citrus at the top, when blended with the floral notes and sandalwood feels somewhat tropical. However, you also get that creaminess provided by vanilla, sandalwood, and the white florals.

It’s not too thick or heavy of a creaminess/sweetness. In fact, it actually does have a fairly fresh aroma and powder in the dry down. Fine to wear anytime outside of the heart of summer.

Light and Simple

10. Free O2 for Her– Free O2 is another very nice Avon fragrance, that I’ve come across recently. It is a clean, fresh, and airy fragrance led by peach tea and honeysuckle.

As the name suggests, it is like a breath of fresh air. Though, it dose have a cool and semi-aquatic sort of aroma for much of the wear. The peach tea feels iced and watery, with a wonderful musk note coming from the base. The airiness seems to be supplied by the honeysuckle itself. That note isn’t too prevalent to my nose.

Subtle and sweet. Free O2 is an outstanding option for when you want to be more low key.

A New Haiku

Haiku Reflection by Avon– The original Haiku has more of a dewy feeling, while this is closer to a pure aquatic. A touch of saltiness, but never fully oceanic. But, the opening with the light pear and the radiant water accord really set the tone here.

Light and a very fresh start. The middle is an acacia, freesia, and some other floral notes in the water and a somewhat greenish aroma. Again, the original is about that more so. This is like a blue-green blend.

The dry down has a woodier essence than the opening aquatic vibe. Reflection is a ‘clean’ or step out of the shower sort of perfume. Not going to be for everyone, but a great value play for under $20.

Eclipse

Imari Eclipse by Avon– A second entry from the Imari line. The opening goes strong with the pear and bergamot notes. Bergamot seems to have the upper hand for a time, before it flips.

But, it’s not just a sweet and fruity perfume, in its totality. You’re also greeted by a pink pepper spice, tuberose, orange blossom, and the ever-present patchouli note. It’s a nice mix of different styles, just blended well.

The fruitiness, floral notes, woods, and spice. The latter stages will be about sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, and the floral accord (mainly that tuberose, hanging around). The performance is good and I like the way that Imari Eclipse presents something a little different, but nothing too far ‘out there’.
