Avon Facets is a Cologne launched in 1988, created by Ann Gottlieb. Avon's Facets carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

An 80s icon that still holds up, Facets is a creamy, sweet, and surprisingly nuanced floral that's miles better than its Avon badge suggests. Expect a lot of 'where did you get that?'

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for daily wear, though the rich, warm floral character leans more towards evening or cooler weather. The 'mature' and 'elegant' feel from reviews suggests it's particularly well-suited for dates and formal events.

About

Facets opens with a rush of heady white florals, primarily a sweet, almost banana-like tuberose, softened by delicate violet and a rich jasmine. As it settles, a warm, balsamic labdanum emerges, blending seamlessly with subtle incense and a grounding sandalwood. The base reveals a quiet oakmoss and musk, providing a vintage, powdery depth without ever becoming harsh or dated.
