Avon 1968 EDC
Charisma
Avon Charisma is a Cologne launched in 1968. Charisma opens with Hyacinth, Bergamot, Neroli, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Avon's Charisma carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
A truly iconic vintage Avon scent, Charisma is a classic aldehydic floral with a soapy, animalic warmth. While some find the opening challenging, it dries down beautifully, exuding a polished, confident aura that has stood the test of time.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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Charisma's moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for various settings without being overwhelming. Its sophisticated, elegant character, derived from its classic floral and warm base notes, lends itself well to formal events and date nights, while the 'clean' and 'soapy' aspects make it acceptable for office wear. It is less suited for active casual or sport settings.
