Avon 2005 EDP
Always
Avon Always is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Olivier Cresp. Always opens with Kiwi and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Poppy, Tulip, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Bamboo. Avon's Always carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
This one's a divisive throwback. Some love its zingy, fresh greenness for a mood lift, while others find it too sour and sharp. It's a testament to the early 2000s fruity-floral trend, with a decidedly unique, if polarising, character.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and energising profile makes it suitable for casual wear, office settings (if applied lightly) and sport. However, the tartness and green notes mean it's less suited to formal events or romantic dates, where a softer, more complex fragrance might be preferred.
