Avon 300 Km/h is a Cologne launched in 2005, created by Olivier Gillotin and Pierre Negrin. 300 Km/h opens with Green Notes and Herbal, settles into a heart of Cypress and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Avon's 300 Km/h carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher; some smell citrus, others straight-up green. For the price, it's a decent, if fleeting, everyday splash.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its weak longevity and intimate sillage make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual day wear where it won't offend. The fresh, green notes align well with a relaxed, everyday setting, though it's too light for formal events or impactful dates.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of fresh green and herbal notes, like a brisk walk through a dewy meadow. This quickly gives way to a clean heart of cypress and a hint of warm, spicy cardamom. It eventually settles into a soft, woody base of cedar and sandalwood, underpinned by a clean, airy musk that whispers rather than shouts.
