Avon Casbah is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1992, created by Jean-Pierre Subrenat. Casbah opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Orchid, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Avon's Casbah carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This 90s Avon gem is a divisive powder bomb. Some find it a sophisticated, spicy oriental; others a sickly-sweet, 'old lady' scent. Expect strong iris, spices, and a serious dose of nostalgia.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, this scent can be a bit much for close-quarters office wear. It truly shines for evening dates or formal events, where its bold and mysterious character can make an impact. For casual wear, a light hand is recommended.

About

Casbah opens with a faint citrus whisper before diving headfirst into an intoxicating blend of powdery iris and rich sandalwood. A heart of warm clove and nutmeg emerges, mingling with delicate rose and orchid to create a complex floral-spicy embrace. The dry down settles into a musky, woody base, carrying hints of ancient, almost musty elegance.
