Haiku Kyoto Flower

Wow! This smells just like Chloe. I had no idea that it would smell like something I already have, and since Chloe is expensive, and Haiku Kyoto Flower isn’t, I’m going to say this one wins. And the bottle is so pretty. And now I see that others have listed Chloe in the smells-similar section! 😄 I’m even getting the sprinkle of peppery cedar that is in Chloe, but not listed in Kyoto flower. The projection and lasting power on this is phenomenal! I am encouraged to try other Avon perfumes since this is my first one. I take that back. I had a small silver deer shaped perfume bottle when I was a child that my grandma gave me that was an Avon perfume. I highly recommend this perfume if you like a fresh, rosy, peony, modern, very clean fragrance profile. Lovely!!💕🌸🌹

This fragrance is so cute!!! Japanese cherry blossom and peony. It smells very soft and light, really similar to Bath and Body Works' Cherry Blossom fragrance--which is super nostalgic for me since my mom always used the hand cream from them. It's super affordable too, I believe around $25! It doesn't smell cheap or synthetic, it dries down with a really nice clean, soapy musk. The violet leaf adds a green, aquatic note to it which makes me think of a pond in a Japanese garden. The bottle is also BEAUTIFUL and makes for a wonderful display. It's cute, youthful, fun, and nostalgic! It's actually pretty strong, esp. for the price! Good sillage and longevity. Easy to overspray, so I'd recommend JUST pulse points OR on clothing.

I believe I got this fragrance in late 2015/ early 2016 and I sat on it for so long tbh. But when I started using it regularly it grew on me a lot, even becoming my day to day scent for the year. It's such a fresh clean smell, and the floral notes aren't too flowery; as someone who doesn't like perfumes to have too strong of a floral scent. This is a great all purpose perfume and you won't be out of place wearing it in pretty much any environment. For the it can emminate 6+ feet around you, but after that it's not too strong but strong enough for others to get a whif of it on you in a pleasant way. I got a few compliments on it saying I smell very clean.

Haiku Kyoto Flower is a very pretty, comforting scent. Soft enduring white musk blended with uplifting sweet puffy peony , a tickling touch of violet leaf and a hint of cherry blossom makes this scent both cooling and gently warming. Kyoto Flower dries down to a definite powdery FEEL. If you find this scent too strong, try it in the body lotion. The lotion is also very long lasting. I wear it with the spray and it lasts forever on my skin until I wash it off. Soft, almost powdery, sweet, but not too sweet, with moderate projection, Kyoto Flower is perfect for Spring. Also great to wear any time you need to feel calm and beautifully feminine.

My favorite cherry blossom perfume, also my favorite of all the Haikus. I adore cherry blossom, I feel so pretty and girly when I wear it: maybe even younger? Here it's done very nicely with the peony, violet leaf and musk. It gives off a rather cottony, slightly breezy/outdoor impression. For a perfume that seems as "soft" as it does, the length and projection are impressive. More of a summery type of perfume, but feels great to wear any time of year. It always cheers me up!

I wanted to add a new review, I ordered this right after I sampled it and I bought the perfume lotion and shower gel. So normally the 50ml bottle is 26 dollars but buy two for 25.99....how crazy is that! I stand by my initial review with it smells JUST like Dior Addict 2!!! Aaaaaand the great thibg is that it lasts so much longer than Addict 2! I can't wait to shower with gel and then lotion up and spray! Omg I will smell delicious lol

Very clean smelling fragrance. I applied this on my wrists, inner elbows, neck and knees and it lasted forever! I can still smell it from a few days ago on my coat and could smell it on my wrist 24 hrs later. It's a very classic perfume smell that isn't too heavy. Very airy scent. It's hard to describe, but I adore it. Perfect daytime scent for smelling clean fresh, and feminine without smelling overpowering

Cotton musk and white peony, all that takes to feel crispy-clean, ten years younger and inspired to go for walk, with or without cherry blossom under your head, creating a new haiku every ten minutes. Instantly likeable little thing this Avon in tender bottle, has charm of times, when you only had two-three fragrances in whole house and been grateful for every modest new-something.

I absolutely LOVE this! You have to be a lover of pink fragrances in order to enjoy this-those who know know what I mean when I say pink, like Versace bright crystal, Dior addict 2, guess woman, moschino fresh (the pink one) this is such a good dupe for all the expensive ones that when it first came out I bought several of them. So so beautiful

if you love florals and aren't picky with scents i'd say that this is a safe blind buy (as it was for me). it's quite delicate and great for everyday wear. i personally love wearing it to the office since it's an inoffensive perfume but it lasts surprisingly well. i also love how the bottle looks on my vanity ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

This kinda smells like chloe love story. I really love this scent, it brings so much memories. I love how it smells when it sits on the skin for like 4 hours. Floral and sexy, it doesn’t smell like an old person would wear.

I can't even believe this...this smells IDENTICAL to Dior Addict 2!!!!! Omg! I got this thinking it would be decent but omg this is incredible!!! My sniffer can't even believe this lol

I love peony, this hits the mark. Pretty with the violet. But alcoholic at first, which is common with Avon. After 30 seconds, that's gone and the peony swishes around me. Love it!

the opening sucks. but after drying down, so clean and soapy scent comes up and cozy musky finale.

@UnearthlyApothecary is very accurate in her description: "It’s like B&BW Japanese Cherry Blossom mixed with fresh laundry musk. Very clean and fresh and spring-like." I'd like to add on to that a little bit more. This is a strong like for me, perhaps bordering on love. It's very office friendly, and one of those scents that is near impossible to over-spray and choke one's self out (looking at you, Tuscan Leather). At the asking price (~$15), I don't feel wasteful / bad about applying 10-15 sprays on my upper body (about half of those while bare, then the other half with a shirt on). I wore this several weeks ago, and on that wearing, I applied this with a very conservative hand (3 sprays total--one in each elbow crease, and one spritz in the middle of the chest). When applied conservatively, I found it difficult to detect on myself less than 2 hours later, and I was very disappointed. I considered adding it to my swap list, and ridding myself of another cheap disappointment. Boy, am I glad that I gave it another shot, and decided to be extremely generous with the application both yesterday and today. When applied very generously (15 sprays yesterday, and 12 today), I was still able to detect it on my chest a full 12 hours later. The scent is really enjoyable, and truly perfect for spring time. It is distinctly different from the OG Haiku, but I like just as much, if not possibly more. I am intrigued by this mention of an Intense version possibly being offered in the future, as this might solve the problem of having to spray so heavily to produce the desired result. Here's to hoping!

The sillage is STRONG of fresh cotton musk for four hours. Then,it tranforms right into a skin scent of light peony. I find that two sprays at a time is plenty. I would have never imagined there to be any cherry blossom if it weren't for the pretty blossoms on the bottle. It does smell pink, however. I imagine that comes from the peony. I smell violet leaf in there but it is hidden under a heavy mask of cotton flower. So basically it smells very much like fresh cotton and white musk to me. Mary Kay has a Cotton fragrance out similar to it. I find young teens to great grandmas, alike, could be wearing this frangrance. Very fluffy and sweet. The bottle is adorable but i don't care for the stopper so much. I bought it in spring and have only worn it twice so far. I like it but am curious how it would hold up in winter because of it's heavy sillage. It's a very feminine and pink version of Egyptian musk!

I bought it because my mom used to buy me perfumes from Avon, and I have a sentimental place in my heart for the brand. The bottle is pretty darn cute, especially in person, and for the price I paid ($20), Avon didn’t do too bad on the aesthetics. When I take off the bottle cap and sniff the end of the spray, it smells pretty similar to Dior Forever and Ever, which is one of my favourite perfumes ever. However, when I spray it, it’s sharp. I think the peony is the most noticeable note and the one that’s making this on the aggressive side (for a perfume that’s supposed to be tranquil, according to the box description). Minus the screechiness on my skin, it is a comforting scent. I sprayed it in my room and when I came back, it was a delicate and calming floral aroma. I’d rate it higher if they found a way to make it softer and more rounded in the dry down.

Let me start off by saying that this perfume is beautiful, long lasting and a very good value for the price. It's a very pretty fragrance to be sure for many lucky people who can wear it. I smell rose in it actually, although not listed. Like expensive rose soap. I am a sucker for rose scents. Unfortunately for me at the first sprays before the dry down which takes some time, there is a note in it that gives me a headache. Maybe it's the peony note that's too sharp on me. Maybe it's the particular combo of notes in this beauty I'm not sure, but I can't wear this and enjoy it. Too bad but for those that can enjoy this fume some lucky ladies out there, this can be signature worthy for sure. So spray on and enjoy.

Really like it. Light rosy scent with clean cotton accords. Not sure why cotton is not listed here. But is listed on Avon's official site. Nice everyday scent. love both Haiku perfumes though, they are very different. This is a lovely crisp floral. It does remind me inexpensive mist by Body Fantasies , Sweet Primrose Kiss, both are light rosy scent with cotton, if you wanna test drive this style before buying Avon. Its dirt cheap ,easy to find in stores... Avon not so much. If you're lucky to find a store or a Rep, otherwise your stuck paying shipping. Doesn't really balance out buying a budget perfume , if the shipping costs more than the scent , lol

I am a bit confused by the marketing of this scent. The name of the fragrance and the graphics of cherry blossoms on the bottle suggest this is a cherry blossom scent. However, I smell no cherry blossom whatsoever. Even the Avon website does not actually list cherry blossom as a note. This scent is mostly violet leaf on me, and a generous dash of peony, and the tiniest hint of musk. I am fan of cherry blossom, so I am disappointed that I can’t smell it here. However, I do like the green herbal aura this has, once I get over the disappointment of no cherry blossom. This is green, cool, fresh, herbal, and dries down to an almost dusty powderiness.
