Our verdict on Little Black Dress: Favourite

Divisive but beloved, Little Black Dress is Avon's attempt at timeless elegance. Some call it an ageless classic, others a synthetic mess. It's a statement piece, but pick the right formulation.

Best For:

Office Casual

While many find it suitable for office wear due to its perceived freshness and subtlety, others deem it too strong and better suited for evenings. Its rich floral and woody profile, combined with the 'little black dress' naming, points to a leaning towards more dressed-up or intimate occasions, though it's versatile enough for casual wear if applied lightly.

About

Little Black Dress opens with a fresh, slightly spicy flourish of ginger and coriander before settling into a voluptuous heart of white florals like jasmine and gardenia, alongside the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang. A lush plum note merges with soft sandalwood and a hint of musk in the base, aiming for sophisticated warmth. It's a floral-fruity blend with an oriental depth designed for evening allure.
