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

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.

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.
