Avon 2004 EDP
Today
Avon Today is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Olivier Cresp. Today opens with Cactus, Stephanotis, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Floral Notes, Orange Blossom, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Cedar, and Rose. Avon's Today carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.
Avon Today is an absolute powerhouse of modern white florals; a divisive gem that punches well above its weight class. Some find it a classy, timeless masterpiece, while others are put off by its perceived synthetic edge or assertive floral character. Either way, it's definitely not one to miss.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Best Occasions
Its strong projection and white floral dominance make it suitable for dates and formal events, commanding attention without being overtly sensual. It's often deemed appropriate for the office due to its clean, 'put-together' vibe, though some may find it too loud for close quarters. While versatile, it leans away from purely casual or sporty settings due to its intensity and refined character.
