Avon 2012 EDP
City Rush
Avon City Rush is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. City Rush opens with Bergamot, Ivy, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Orchid, and Dahlia, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Patchouli. Avon's City Rush carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
This one's a divisive hit from Avon. Many find it surprisingly sophisticated for the price, a dead ringer for Gucci Guilty with better longevity, while others are left cold by what they perceive as a plain, linear scent. Either way, it's a plum-heavy comfort scent with a loyal following.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 cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Its moderate sillage and warm, comforting accords make it suitable for casual wear and even office use, as many reviews suggest it's inoffensive. However, its rich, sometimes perceived as heavy, character and longer longevity, tend to make it less ideal for formal events or sports.
