Always

This was one of the fragrances I got to know and like from mum. She usually avoids fragrances as she is very sensitive and has migraines. But she liked this scent a lot and still has a bottle somewhere back in her house... I'm thinking the main reason we both like this is because "always" is a very green, great fresh floral, nothing too overwhelming, nothing extremely sweet or spicy. Kiwi is very prominent and rather refreshing. Perfect for extremely hot Mediterranean weather. Funnily enough my mum can't even touch kiwi (or any other thing that happen to somehow get contaminated with it) let alone eat it without having an anaphylactic reaction. So I'm guessing this is the closest she can safely get to that fruit. It's a shame they've discontinued it. I sniffed it on one of my interns recently and I instantly wished I still had some back home.

I like this-very green and fresh.Not groundbreaking or anything but I love lily scents which I get a lot of that note in this (though I think it may be the bamboo note I am smelling).It goes on strong then dries down on me to a fresh,green lily smell.I think it is a wonderful warm weather scent but I enjoyed it when it was 20 degrees outside.Too bad it has been discontinued but then again Avon will just come out with another identical scent with a new name like they always do:P

I just can't not love an Olivier Cresp perfume, he speaks to my spirit. I wore Always in the summer, I still have the empty bottle to remind myself of it's smell. It is such a joyful, happy, carefree, uplifting and bright perfume. Very fresh, like I'm walking in a rainforest. The only downside is that at the beginning it opens very alcoholy, and it doesn't last too long and that's why I haven't repurchased it again. Otherwise this could easily be my summer signature scent.

Another beautiful Olivier Cresp creation! I do wish they would bring this one back! It was my favorite of the Today, Tomorrow, Always original trilogy. Being a die-hard oriental lover I rarely purchased true floral fragrances back when this was released in early 2000's. Always was just enough of a grabber to my nose that I fell hard for it. It kind-a sort-a reminds me of Jessica McClintock's original LOV EDP. I wish I knew back then to stock up on things!

This is my favourite perfume, if anyone has a suggestion for something that smells like it please please PM me! I have been on a desperate search for years. I have several bottles but they have all turned, as the cheaper Avon perfumes tend to. I have never smelled another perfume which just smelled "perfect" to me although I love Acqua di Gio as I love fresh zingy scents. I can't believe Avon discontinued it!

This is a very lovely fragrance on me. I can smell the jasmine and kiwi and what must be the bamboo and it combines to make a very refreshing scent from first spray to dry down. It also lasts well on me, too. I bought this for $15 on special and this is an absolutely wonderful fragrance for the money. It shows you don't have to spend a fortune on a very fine quality scent.

I find this a very fresh, clean and sophisticated scent. Actually I love this one from Avon!!! Normally I go for a little more heavier, musky scents but among the light scents this is one of my favorites!! Just love the tea note in it!! This is very longlasting and its very suitable for everyday wear, especially for office. My summer fragragrance for this year!!

I got this with the 3 mini pack of today, tomorrow, always. I hate greens, usually grasses, bamboo, leaves etc.. So I assumed I would not like this. That said I LOVE THIS! The kiwi is amazing, so different.. Always is fresh and floral but the kiwi takes control and leads the pack! I now have 2 greens in my otherwise oriental/vanilla collection.

This fresh fragrance is often overlooked; Avon products are much maligned. I have worn this since its' inception. Unusual, yes; very green! Reminds me of first fresh-cut summer lawns... Warm nights and breezes. Long-lasting and unique. Compliments will come! Still available on eBay but getting difficult to find all three layering products.

This is my favourite Avon perfume so far, a whisker in front of the old 'In Bloom' which is very similar. This one just has a touch more fresh green to make it interesting. Truly lovely, lasts better than many Avon fragrances, crisp enough for casual wear yet sophisticated enough for any occasion.

Don't like much avon stuff, actually the other perfumes of the trilogy are really.... unpleasent to me, but this perfume is simply gorgeous. Fresh jazmin mixed with green tea and a bit of kiwi on a bamboo base. Citrusy, fresh, floral and yet very rich, absolutely love it!

I am so sorry this is discontinued. It is a beautiful, fresh fragrance that works well for the office or for a day out. The combination of carambola and kiwi is beautiful and lasts much longer than your typical fruity body spray.

sweet star fruit in the top with bamboo and musk then a hint of lily and lots of kiwi; fruity and sweet but not a typical fruity floral; I hate fruity fragrances and really love this one. It is open and fresh.

I am soo curious how this one smells!!!!

Fresh, clean about the note of bamboo.

Once upon a time, I loved this perfume. I used to receive compliments on it. To me, it was the most beautiful scent of the trio. On my skin, the smell was sweet and green, like honey-glazed kiwis and grass. Then, for whatever reason, I stopped buying it. Last month I was feeling nostalgic and I wanted to try it again though. I was so eager to feel that unique scent again, but... I was disappointed. Maybe something changed in my skin chemistry, because this perfume no longer smells sweet and green on me. I can still sense a grassy scent, but it is annoyingly fresh and sharp. It feels synthetic and almost masculine. There's nothing sweet about it. I miss the days when this perfume was a perfect fit for me. The sillage is moderate to heavy and the longevity is decent (at least 6 hours).

Fruity-Green scent, that's how I would call this little gem. Gender of Floral-greens is wide, well-known and loved but not fruity-green. It's green by bamboo note, a bit bitter by lily and immortelle, which is beautiful blended and gives a depth. Kiwi sourness is presented all the way and support freshness of bamboo. I was wearing this one last days often, whether I was wearing it from morning to evening with re-applying or only sprayed it for a joy when wearing something else. I know now that I have to give to perfume a chance to wear it more often in a row before decission it works for me or not. I need time to know it to it bones! And to understand it! I am humble when realize that through many years wearing various perfumes and apprechiating art of perfumes! Amen to this <3.

This type of fragrance usually isn't my thing but I enjoy Always. A crisp, tart fruity blend of kiwi, granny smith apple, star fruit blended with jasmine and grassy bamboo. It smells like a vacation fragrance without the typical coconut, vanilla suntan lotion thing most people associate with tropical honeymoons. I understand why they named this playful, flirty vacation style fragrance Always, because that is what a life long love should be like. Always fun, always playful, always joyful, always lively and energetic for each other and for your shared love. This is a flirty and fun fragrance. I love this whole line. It was well thought out and executed perfectly. I wish I had tried it a lot sooner. At least prices for them on eBay are still inexpensive.

Each time I spray this on, I wonder "Why am I using this awful thing another time?" But after a short time the excessive fresh greenness fades a bit, the true melded beauty of the scent is revealed, and I remember why I've used it for so long. It reminds me of the wet bamboo leaves rustling around my home after a strong rain. Like the scent of rain, this doesn't last too long so I like to layer it with Avon's Today which lasts all day and adds more floral to the fresh.

tropic_heat, you're right. This starts our extremely green. I had to laugh when I read your review! This is a true springy floral/floral. If you're not into flowers or green/clean scents...run for the door. I had this and liked it, but I'm more of a vanilla soft scent woman. My mother really liked this one because she's into the clean/floral scents. It's like Pleasures with a WHOLE lot more green to it.

Quite original in my opinion, doesn't smell like Today or Tomorrow(which are a lot like bug spray to me). It's really pleasant and green, but not a natural and fruity green(like those fragrances containing ginger), more like tea (perhaps due to bamboo+kiwi combination). As summer approaches, I think I will give this one a chance.

This was part of a set of miniatures I received as a gift. I liked this scent, but I liked Today the best, so this spent the most time of the three waiting in the wings. In a way, it reminded me of a more floral version of Perry Ellis 360 mixed with green Jolly Ranchers. This was another good Jill-of-all- trades scent.

It is a nice and sort of fresh fragrance but a bit too heavy on the greens for me. I do not like to wear it, but whenever I feel down or depressed, I often spray this perfume into the air around me, and in a couple of minutes I feel much better, more motivated. It really helps me dissipate the blues... Go figure...

A blend of Vent Vert (Balmain), Beyond Paradise (Lauder) and Un Jardin Sur le Nil (Hermes). Surprisingly interesting for an Avon fragrance, with a sharp green opening that gradually softens into a fresh jasmine and lily heart. I am enjoying wearing it in chilly January but I expect it blooms in summer weather.

BIG YES!!! to this perfume! Smells so amazing, so fresh, green, like grass. I can smell this perfume all day long, it won`t annoy my poor nose, won`t give me a headache and it`s just smells so great, I get compliments all the time. This has been one of my favorite perfumes for a long time!

Too bad Avon discontinued it :( This was a delicate green frag, perfect for spring and romantic evenings. UPDATE: Good news for the fans of Forever! What was my surprize when I opened the Avon catalogue today and saw this in one of the pages! This is gonna be one of my next purchases!

I nominate this for Those Who Like fragrance with green notes, fruity tropical and warm. The Avon Brazil no more sell it in here, it is a pity. I really love this. I have two bottles of it saved, whenever I feel the smell of it, I remember from my teenage years. :)

Just bought my 3rd bottle. This time from Ebay. And received an awful counterfeit perfume, smells totally different and fake. Avon doesn't have this perfume on their website anymore. It was an amazing perfume, very unique! I dont understand why they discontinued.

The color of this fragrance suits the scent perfectly. This is a fresh, crisp, green fruity floral. On me, the kiwi and lily are most prevalent, making this light and not overpowering.

This one was my favorite from de Today Tomorrow Always series. Too bad the've disscontinued it. I've always associated it's smell to green apricots. Loved it... now i miss it!

I got this for 50¢ at a yard sale today! I haven't tried it on yet but it smells really nice in the bottle. Not original bit that's Ok. It will be very nice for hot weather.

i have this and i usually mix with with sometin else, as it doesnt have the strong smell i love my perfumes having...its durability is ok and its just a very unique scent.

I had it about four or five years ago, and i loved it. Great lasting power. So sad they discontinued it.

Actual notes: TOP: kiwi, carambola, jasmine tea MIDDLE: yellow tulip, lily, amaranth BASE: musk, bamboo

wow its gorgeous scent, unique, i love it!!!!!!

It's been relaunched in Europe!

this opens with tart fruits, immortelle and green bamboo. it's very refreshing, with some sweetness. later on i get some woody notes, rounding things out a bit, but it's primarily bamboo and lily with kiwi and immortelle in the background. i get no other florals that i can detect. it's a fresh, green perfume with a large does of immortelle. it smells very late 90s/early 00s.

When you close your eyes and take a whiff all you’re going to picture is hard green. Grass, unripe fruit, peppercorn, leaves, and maybe a dash of Simple Green. It won’t offend most people unless you overspray and the spicy florals go sharp, but honestly not a super memorable fragrance in general.

Reminds me of Green tea... But only a little! Nice, refreshing, green. A fragrance for summer or summer feeling!

This one is part of Avon's more expensive perfumes and the "ugly duckling" of the series Today, Tomorrow, Always... Most women go for the 1st two flowery ones and usually pass on this unique addition. In my opinion the best of the 3 because of it's unique composition. Unfortunately its uniqueness is it's downfall... its not easily liked. But on the flip side...u wont smell like everyone else either =) U can follow me on YouTube @ BeautyOnSale

I tested the demo when it was introduced years ago and it was mostly kiwi on me.Not bad if it's a body spray.For a prestigious perfume,i would suggest something else.

This perfume is very strong to me. It was the only perfume I had ever thrown away because I didnt think any one would want it. Got a headache just thinking about it!

Green and sour. As I understand, I feel the kiwi note in it most of all. Too sour for me. I don't like this fragrance.

Not my cup of tea: too green and fresh. If you want to smell like a sour kiwi, then this is for you :)

Always is the third in a triad of Avon scents, with the other two being Today and Tomorrow. ...Presumably, the avoided accusations of being old-fashioned, by not making a Yesterday. The bottles for all three deserve praise for their elegance, especially the asymmetric caps. Always opens with a delightfully sweet, yet green, fruity aquatic moment that does not outstay its welcome. Kiwifruit + carambola + jasmine is certainly a nice way to put it. Those green fruits likely form a bridge with the equally verdant and eccentric 'bamboo' of the base. However, in-between, the florality of Always also becomes more pleasurably complex. Lily may lead the pack, while the fully fantstical tulip does whatever the perfumer wants it to, ...but the real grace note in this bouquet is the note of immortelle. as usual, it adds its many distinctively layered aspects of hay, honey, cumin, and sunshine to the final mix. Always is really a happy surprise, that combines unusual notes to perfectly create an exquisitely balanced composition not quite resembling anything else. The aquatic fruit accord plus tha tcontrapuntal immortelle is a leitmotif deserving of special mention. Ingredients like calone and melonal have developed a well-deserved bad reputation, for being the underlying cause of so many sickeningly sweet aquatic compositions, ...but here they have been appropriately dosed, paired, and foiled to create something both tasteful and unique.

It had to be 23 degrees outside to try it again, because of the good rewiews i definetly had to give this one a chance because at the begining i did'nt like it at all. I do smell something chemical in it as i say maybe is the skin chemistry because the cap smells good. but at the first spray i do smell the amount of fruit that i was looking for and i haven't smelled it on winter. So the begining is about kiwi, golden melon and also that something chemical that doesn't get off my skin.The stayng power is really good , is a litle oili, and atfer 10 minutes it begins the smell of bamboo and lili of the valley. I didn't get wrong when i said at first that i smell this flower,, and a litle something like jasmin. Now is powdery, chemical maibe is my skin reaction, but also fruity flowery. The general impresion is the one with green fruits white flowers and powdery chemical bamboo. So give it another chance if it happend to buy it and didn't like it, is acually realy good, not the best but is good, i wanted for real to give it away but now that i selled it again i changed my mind. Is suitable for summer and spring.

If you love the Opening of CK Truth you will loves this, because that's what is smells like. It has similarities to DKNY's Be Delicious as well. It also smells very similar to the Cucumber Dove soap, but of course with much more depth and the "soapy" smell disappears almost instantly. Staying power and silage is awesome. This one actually lasts much longer then you would think, 3 or 4 sprays seriously last the entire day. Very refreshing. It's an instant vacation or trip to the spa in a bottle; very tropical rain forest like. It has the ability to put you at peace, so what's not to love? The kiwi is not as much the "sweet and sour" kiwi taste one gets when eating one, more like the green brown peel of a kiwi. And the bamboo and lily mix extremely well. A touch of muskiness that is soapy at first then turns creamy. Works great in humid or rainy weather. This is no "floral fruity". It's a woody aquatic green.

Out of the TTA line my favourite is Today but Always also has something interesting and unique in it. The kiwi note dominates on my skin making it sour and fresh at the same time while the florals adding light sweetness to it. Later the jasmine takes over and it really is jasmine tea note. The bamboo note makes it greener. Imagine yourself drinking jasmine tea and eating kiwi on a terrace in a fresh spring morning while there is still some dew on the grass. That's how Always makes me feel.

I have this perfume for 4 years in mini perfume stick which I have always in my bag with me. Not sure why it lasted for 4 years as I really do enjoy and like this perfume. I first used it for the New Years party back in 2008 thus I assosiate it with winter perfume however I can imagine using it in early spring when all the green is slowly starting to clossom and with this nice green, fresh and crisp smell you`d fit it just perferctly.

This is a very well done scent from Avon but it's not original. It smells almost identical to Clinique's Happy Heart IMO. My mom has this and I have used it a couple of times this summer when I wanted to smell mature. It's a very feminine womanly perfume and the scent last until you wash it off. Overall I'd say that Avon did a good job and the price is good too.
