Imari

Avon Imari is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1985. The fragrance opens with Aldehydes, Galbanum, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orris, Lily Of The Valley, Ylang-Ylang, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Cedar, and Amber.

Our verdict on Imari: Statement

Imari is pure 80s nostalgia in a bottle, and opinions are firmly split. Some adore its classic, sophisticated warmth, others find it too 'grandma' or challenging with its aldehydic punch. This one's definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Its potent woody-aldehydic profile and rich accords make it less suitable for the office and casual wear. Reviewers often mention it as a 'datenight/evening fragrance' or for 'cold-weather wear', indicating its richer, more mature character is perfect for formal events and romantic evenings when applied sparingly.

About

Avon's Imari opens with a bold, soapy aldehydic lift, quickly joined by the green, slightly bitter tone of galbanum and bright bergamot. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet, where creamy tuberose and Ylang-Ylang mingle with powdery orris and delicate lily of the valley. The dry down settles into a woody, musky embrace of sandalwood, cedar, and amber, softened by a hint of vanilla, creating a mysteriously warm and enduring aura.
