Avon Only Imagine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Only Imagine opens with Apple, Blackberry, and Raspberry Leaf, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant, Violet, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Avon's Only Imagine carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive little number, Only Imagine is either a crisp, clean apple and violet delight, or a bit of a bitter mess. If you're after a budget-friendly DKNY Be Delicious vibe, this could be your surprisingly long-lasting spring fling.

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

Only Imagine opens with a vibrant, tart burst of green apple, quickly joined by the subtle sweetness of blackberry and raspberry leaf. The heart unfolds into a fresh, dewy floral bouquet where a prominent, non-powdery violet takes centre stage, softened by peony and a hint of blackcurrant. The drydown settles into a comforting, clean musk intertwined with soft cedar and sandalwood, providing a gentle, airy finish.
