Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Curious EDP
This is a clean, fresh white floral that's either a pleasant, inoffensive everyday spritz or an alcohol-laden air freshener, depending on who you ask. It's a proper throw-on and go, though probably better suited for younger wearers.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Curious

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, inoffensive nature makes it suitable for casual wear and even the office, as many reviews suggest. However, the light projection and body mist format mean it's less ideal for formal settings or a date where more impact is desired.

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.
