Avon Wish of Love is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008. Wish of Love opens with Cranberry, settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Rose, and Hydrangea, and dries down to a base of Musk. Avon's Wish of Love carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper little high school throwback - a simple, sweet, and clean fruity-floral. It's unchallenging, budget-friendly and some still love it, but expect a synthetic edge and don't count on much staying power.

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

Also Works:
Office Date

Its light, fresh, and somewhat delicate nature makes it a good fit for casual wear or even a post-workout spritz, as it won't overpower. The limited longevity and sillage mean it's unlikely to offend in an office, while its youthful, simple character makes it less suitable for formal events.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About
