Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Little Black Dress Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Sicily Eau de Parfum

A legendary, much-missed gem that evokes sophisticated Italian glamour with its unique blend of creamy banana, sparkling aldehydes, and luxurious soapiness. Loved by many, but its striking, sometimes 'old-school' character means it's not for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Little Black Dress Eau de Parfum

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.

Sicily Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its clean, elegant, and sophisticated profile makes it suitable for date nights and formal occasions, while a softer application can work for casual wear. The presence of aldehydes and a strong scent profile may be too assertive for some office environments, and it's certainly not a sport scent.
