Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Little Black Dress EDP
Divisive but beloved, Little Black Dress is Avon's attempt at timeless elegance. Some call it an ageless classic, others a synthetic mess. It's a statement piece, but pick the right formulation.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Chinatown EDP
Chinatown is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a polarizing, unique blend of spicy florals and creamy woods that some find enchanting and others, well, say it's more 'old lady' than niche.

Season and Occasion Fit

Little Black Dress

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

While many find it suitable for office wear due to its perceived freshness and subtlety, others deem it too strong and better suited for evenings. Its rich floral and woody profile, combined with the 'little black dress' naming, points to a leaning towards more dressed-up or intimate occasions, though it's versatile enough for casual wear if applied lightly.

Chinatown

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and distinctive, strong white floral and oriental accords make it a bit much for the office. However, these same qualities, especially the sensual woody-spicy dry down, lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events. It's a bold choice, but some reviewers find it versatile enough for daily wear.
