Which Should You Buy?
A fascinating trip back in time, this is a love-it-or-hate-it scent that encapsulates a very specific era. Not for everyone, but a must-try for vintage enthusiasts.
Don't let the edgy marketing fool you - Avon's Instinct is a surprisingly demure fresh-green floral. While some find it a bit basic, it's a solid, budget-friendly everyday scent. It certainly won't make you feel like Megan Fox in a leopard-print ad, but it does deliver a reliable, clean vibe.

Occasions
Its modest projection and clean profile make it suitable for casual wear or even the office, though it's not a statement-maker. It lacks the modern appeal for dates and the gravitas for formal events.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
This is a clean, inoffensive green-floral that works wonderfully for everyday wear, including the office, as it's rarely described as loud. Its fresh character also makes it suitable for casual outings and even light sport, though its lack of bold projection means it struggles in formal or dating scenarios.
