Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ispahan Eau de Parfum
A divisive yet treasured classic, Ispahan evokes a bold, mysterious allure. Many find it "sexy" and "sensual", though some deem it too heavy or "old" for modern tastes. If you seek a statement scent, this enchanting oriental is worth seeking out.

Our Verdict - Extraordinary Eau de Parfum
Extraordinary is a polarising, discontinued gem from Avon. Many rave about its unique blend of spiced chocolate and florals, while others find it too strong or not to their taste. If you can get your hands on a bottle, expect a bold, warm, and sophisticated scent that stands out.
