Imari Seduction

Not masculine at all. Sweet plum deep fruity. Love this. I saw the reviews saying this is similar to C.K Euphoria and yes, they are definitely kissing cousins... of the same plummy, orchid, musk lineage. After I fell in hard love with Estee Lauder's Sensuous Noir, I started trying to figure out what note it was that had me so hooked, and it really is the orchid... I went up and found "Orchid" in the notes section of this website and I swear I own the first 10 frags that show up. I had no idea the orchid was the common denominator and is what draws me. So there. go check out the Orchid note, see what scents are listed, and you may find yourself as someone also drawn to this note. For 5 bucks on ebay I also got the deodorant, powder and body lotion. I applied all of them after showering, then sprayed on the perfume (pretty liberally) and it lasted a good 5-6 hours which, for Avon, is waaaay above average longevity I'm sure. So, for less than 20 bucks (2 trips to Starbucks), I'd say this was as good a deal as any out there. Especially when I hate paying full price for the C.K. Euphoria. And for those of you who can't plunk down the cash for CK, I'd say you will be happy to purchase this in the interim. Nope, nothing masculine about this at all. Orchid and plummy at the top, orchid and vanilla musk during the dry down...very pretty lightly sweet powdery sensual plum at the end. Love it. Edit: I have found this also to be a "Kissin' Cousin" of BBW's Dark Kiss. I put on the Avon I.S. lotion, powder and deodorant, then spritz some BBW D.K body mist, and voila! I smell awesome today!

This is seductively sweet, bold, and exotic fragrance. Although this was intended to be linear, the notes play each other up really well to highlight a particular quality contributing to the composition's overall character. The amber & vanilla keeps the plum, which is the most dominant note remaining intensive from opening until dry down, from getting too "fruity" sweet. I also love the hint of exoticism that the orchid note evokes. And there is something that might not be listed here which anchors the whole composition perfectly. It is a bit dry, woody, POTPOURRI like which gives this potion that ORIENTAL vibe. While it has a bit of similarity with Coco Mademoiselle, I definitely prefer Imari Seduction over Coco Mademoiselle because I don't get that rancid & nauseating note Coco Mademoiselle has. An expensive smelling perfume for a fraction of a price. Longevity is pretty good for an eau de toillete with up to 6 hours on my skin. Sillage is also good within arms length. It's another KEEPER from Avon. Highly recommended...

I'm very pleased with this blind purchase. Though when I first tried this fragrance, it was summer and it was too heavy for me to pull it off then. I really recommend you give this a chance during winter, for it requires cold temperatures to retain its fresh/juicy/spicy quality. It opens with juicy plum that is rounded by a light vanilla in the background. At this phase, my nose could detect only a hint of spice. Then about 20 minutes later, orchid came out to the surface. At the heart, this is a plummy soft and spiced orchid perfume. During dry down, the juiciness of the fruity opening was completely replaced by the sweet, ambery orchid with a hint of vanilla and musk. Sillage: Medium Projection: Medium Staying power: 3-4 hours Olfactive group: Fruity Floriental This is a VERY SEXY perfume that probably is best used for special occasions and intimate settings. Though if you can pull it off at work or casually, more power to you! Make sure you test before you buy. (Avon has money back guarantee!) ;o)

I've been wearing this perfume since it first came out. I originally bought it without knowing how it smelled, because the notes intrigued me. Avon had a sale on, buy two perfumes for the price of one. I already had Haiku in my cart (another Avon favorite), and I decided to give this scent a try. I fell in love with this georgeous scent, that smells very "purple" to me. The bottle matches this scent very well. I love the smell of plum & orchid, and I also get the warmth of the vanilla & amber, & just enough musk to make this scent stick around on my skin longer than most Avon scents. I have a large wardrobe of perfumes, so I normally do not repurchase a scent unless it draws me in, and this scent has done just that! Luckily I haven't had to repurchase this one, because my friend got me another bottle for Christmas, but when my bottle gets low, I will be sure to get another. I personally don't like the original Imari, and I have yet to try Imari Mystique, but I definitely plan on it.

Plum Heaven! to:Anorton1965 You are ever so right! It reminds me ever so much of Lolita Lempika in a very understated way. The sparkly, warm and elegantly fruity scent will indeed be layered with my beloved L.L since the basic notes are in accord. It begins with rich plums and spices, wraps me up in a velvety aroma i find comforting for Wintertime and especially xmas time (imho ) . The vanilla is a warm one- not a scream in your face synthetic syrupy one. The amber and musk are very faint though during drydown. My only disapointment is that it is so faint and short-lasting on me ( I need strong and potent fragrances for them to agree with my chemistry). I love the sensual aura of this fragrance which is awesome for day or night and leaves a clean, slightly soapy sillage on me. All in all, an 8 for a skin fragrance from avon xxxx

My best friend and neighbor at the time was wearing this one day and I was like OMG, what IS that perfume?!?!?! She said, I dunno, let me show you the bottle, LOL! It was this gorgeous purple bottle and smelled SO good. I thought it might be too strong or offensive for me to wear (up til then I had only been wearing light fruity florals) but it's not offensive at all. I actually wore it to work a couple of weeks ago and was complimented on it (rarely happens)! This is a yummy plummy deep and definitely seductive scent. It is one of my favorites and I hope to always have this in my collection. P.S. The one in the newer bottle does NOT smell the same. I have the original from 2007 and one from 2017.

Imari is a beautiful combination of plum, orchid and warm amber. I agree that it shares certain similarities with Coco Mademoiselle. It also strongly reminds me of John Varvatos signature. It makes a perfect winter and autumn fragrance; it is rich, sexy and enveloping. The opening is definitely oriental but after 15 minutes it becomes chypre fruity and stays that way for the next 3 hours. Considering it is only an eau de toilette, it has a decent staying power, about 5 hours. The silage is gentle but I do get lovely whiffs for the first 3 hours. Imari is a great fragrance for a confident and sexy woman. The bottle cap is tacky. Overall, 9/10. Well done, Mr Fremont.

I'm not sure what is oriental about it but it is a lovely fragrance. Lots of vanilla and amber to warm it, plum plays with the vanilla for a creamy sweetness. I don't get a lot of musk. It stays rich and sweet. It is a rather seductive scent. I love it and it's really good value for the price. One of Avon's better ones in my opinion. And of course it's always nice that Avon offers shower gels and lotions to layer it. The only drawback is longevity. I only get a couple hours out of it before it's all but gone.

If that Euhphoria-like scent remained on me for more than an hour, my like would turn into love but unfortunately, it hardly projects anymore and after an hour, it smells like a fruity soap left on my skin. The notes themselves are wonderful but my skin need those notes to be amped up it seems. All in all , a very likeable scent if you are looking for a Euphoria-like sent sation!

This is a sexy plummy , vanilla. I find it rich, sweet and the epitome of purple smells. I love it. I think the longevity is actually decent too A minimum of 6 hours on me. It isn't one of those loud perfumes though. Arms length is about it. Love, love , love it . I think it is great for cooler weather. I can't for the life of me see how this is comparable to Fantasy.

it is seductive. the dominant note which is the plum is just like in d&g the one lace edition or the original version. the performance is good for it's cheap price. can last up to 6-8 hours. the sillage is about arms length. best use during night time and cold weather. not suitable for younger crowds. i would say this is best for women in their late 20s and above.

Just got a bottle of this amazing frag n must say i am quite impressed! Very lovely n yet indeed i get the Channel Madmoiselle n Gucci Gucci comparisons! Gotta love that n at such a great price, can't beat it! Do get the plumy sweetness which is not over the top, very classic beauty. The Imari collection is a must hoard!! Can't get enuf!!!

This Imari Seduction has grown on me quite a bit. The first notes of plum & orchid are very pleasant,and the dry down of it's vanilla, amber and musks settle nicely on me. Love the lingering musk & plum. The notes are rounded out well. I love to use this sensually scented body lotion, perfect for late in the evening, right before bed.

I'm only 16. At first I thought this perfume was a little too old for me, but after it settled into my skin it was more young and fruity. I love the sweet smells in it. It does not project very much, but I like the feeling of knowing that only my significant other will smell the special scent.

Generally I buy up anything with prominent amber, but I gave this scent a try a few years ago and it has been my all-time favorite ever since. I always get compliments when I wear it and the smell of it makes me feel confident and happy.

I love this one too. I guess I quit buying Avon for so long thinking that they are all the same "cheap" that I am in shock! this one is great.

The original comes off to masculine on me. Seduction is quite the opposite, much more feminine with the plum vanilla mix!

such a deep, super sexy scent. i absolutely love this perfume. it's plum for days. yum!

those who knew the complete notes pls. list them here tnx so much in advance.

My husband always compliment me everytime i wear this...
