Avon Persian Wood is a Cologne launched in 1956. Avon's Persian Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Persian Wood is a vintage cologne from 1956 that blends woody, spicy and floral notes over amber. The list is general, so it reads as a warm, old-fashioned oriental. A period piece, more for the curious than the trend-chaser.

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.

About

Persian Wood lists woody notes, spicy notes, amber and floral notes. The woody and spicy notes give a dry, warm body, while amber adds a soft, resinous sweetness and the florals round the whole thing out. This cologne wears as a classic warm oriental woody scent, gentle and traditional rather than loud.
