Avon Extraordinary is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Harry Frémont. Extraordinary opens with Grapefruit, Pepper, Raspberry, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Magnolia, Orchid, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Avon's Extraordinary carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Extraordinary is a polarising, discontinued gem from Avon. Many rave about its unique blend of spiced chocolate and florals, while others find it too strong or not to their taste. If you can get your hands on a bottle, expect a bold, warm, and sophisticated scent that stands out.

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.

About

Upon first spray, a peppery citrus zing of grapefruit and tangerine hits, quickly followed by a rich, dark chocolate heart laced with spicy ginger. Delicate florals like orchid and magnolia add a touch of elegance, settling into a creamy, warm base of vanilla, patchouli, musk, and sandalwood. It's a complex dance of sweet, spicy, and earthy notes.
