Avon Surreal is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Yves Cassar. Surreal opens with Red Currant, Tuberose, and Raspberry Leaf, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Magnolia, Orchid, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Avon's Surreal carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A cult classic that's been sorely missed since discontinuation, Surreal is a unique, mysterious floral fruity with a smoky depth that keeps things interesting. It's polarising for some, but many find it utterly addictive.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

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.
