There have been several attempts to categorize scents based on their similarities and differences in odor and personality.
When looking for a fragrance, you’ll often find the top, middle and base notes described as floral, woody or fruity. To help you better understand, AVON has put together a fragrance wheel of the most common fragrance families.
Woody – Go back to nature with this earthy, herby and masculine scent.
Fresh - From hints of mandarin to the zingy zest of lemon, a citrusy note adds a touch of freshness to your fragrance.
Floral – Think light and airy, sweet and feminine. Floral is perfect for daytime fragrances.
Fruity – Sweet berries, succulent peaches and juicy apples all fall under the fruity scent, making it the perfect fragrance for the summer.
Fougère – From the French word for ‘fern’, this is a woody, herby and slightly sweet fragrance family that’s traditionally masculine.

Choosing the perfect Avon fragrances
Sampling a fragrance the right way is the first step in choosing one that’s right for you. Apply it on a pulse point so that the warmth of your body activates the scent right away. Spritz a little on your wrist and wait to see how you feel about the scent. The same fragrance can smell completely different on another person, which is what makes it unique to you!
