Today

I tested and reviewed avon today last autumn while I promised to come back for it in it's right season,today is a warm,sunny spring day,a great day actually since my heart is filled by a strong and deep love and I love the days of finding or rediscovering a new love.I can't believe that I ticked "like" and gave this masterpeice just 4hearts,now I see it as one of my most favorite floral scents! I've been searching for my ideal spring perfume the whole spring,something with this features:a floral woody musk with natural smelling white florals but not too white floral,you know what I mean,something with great lasting power and sillage but not heavy and heady,something strong but also delicate and fresh in it's nature,something that won't be too much woody,something with a detectable,lovely musk but not as the strongest note,something clean also warm.a feminine sophisticated scent which also feels youthful,something ageless,something classy but not too formal.I tested various perfumes,from niches to highends and also their exclusive/private lines,classics and discontinued one,even celebrity perfumes.I found couple of perfumes which almost were what I want.I was almost believing that nothing can be complete.well avon today is 100% my dream perfume. There's not even a single thing in it I wished I could change.I love it head over hills and am going insane when I think about the fact that I can't have it!at least not soon enough to enjoy it this spring :((( how unlucky we are to not have avon perfumes in our country.I will find a way to order it from abroad but I can't wait and I have less than 2mil of it right now! Lets stop nagging and talk about this devine scent: It opens as a fresh white floral.a super gorgeous bouquet of tuberose and freesia.they smell so natural and high quality that it's as if you're really smelling flowers.it's one of the rare cases that tuberose doesn't want to make it all about herself.I usually dislike perfumes with green or watery notes but there's nothing green or watery added as an extra here.it smells like natural watery pureness that you feel from dewy flower petals and natural light green undertone you can get while smelling flower bushes.it's like inhaling life,nature and spring.there's also no added spices,just the natural spicyness of freesia.also no extra sweetness,natural sweetness of flowers Unlike my previous experience I don't find it linear anymore.as time passes tuberose calms down and other flowers showup giving this flower garden other colors,it's not just about white florals and I'm thankful for that since I usually like pure white florals but they soon bore me snd I can't wear them often.it's dewy/rainwash quality and greenness also fades away though I can feel a hint of cactus sometimes It finally dries down as a floralwoodymusk as it's supposed to.woods are subtle and just anchor this lovely musky floral to earth and give it a warm creamy undertone.musk is easily detectable but not too strong as some other perfumes in this genre,it's right amount of it to make the scent clean and sensual at the same time.this stage is what stays with me the longest time.in this stage orange flower is the prominent floral note on my skin,while lighter freesia and other florals still accompany it.it stays for +12 hours on my skin which is amazing and projects so well that anyone around you will definately notice it,even without being really close,but it won't suffocate them since it's gentle and silky It's almost ageless(+20)and is wearable year round except cold nights.it feels nostalgic and comforting,upliftig,sensual,elegant and easy to love I sprayed it while my man was leaving to work,he came back to ask whats this heavenly flower aura.he almost left and came back again to ask me spray it on a tissue so that he could enjoy it's beautiful smell while driving to work.then he called me to say his car smelled like a flower garden all the one hour he was on the way and asked me to buy a bottle for myself.well I will buy more than one as soon as I find an opportunity(something I've never done before)maybe even one bottle for my mom too and one for my mother in law.I'm sure hub's car is going to smell even better at the end of day when he is driving back home I envy all lucky people who can order it right now and with unbeliveably affordable prices Thanks a million times my lovely nikkiza to introduce me this beauty and sending me it's sample

This was referred to me by my Avon representative that went on and on about how many compliments she had received while wearing this perfume. This is a high pitched soprano chord fragrance which leaves a beautiful fragrance trail. The first time I wore this, I passed a group of ladies standing on the sidewalk outside a shopping store; they all turned their heads in unison and one of the ladies asked "what are you wearing" - I told her Avon's "Today" - and another lady in the group chimed in and said "that's a wonderful tuberose perfume on you"! Linda was RIGHT! This is a fabulous perfume on, it draws compliments like a magnet! --------- This is linear and is a basic chord expression which just softens as it wears down. It doesn't change notes within the chord as it is passing through phases of wear; it is consistent from start to finish. For this reason, this would be a great fragrance to layer. This adds a unified high note with a blend that most closely resembles tuberose, but has a number of different florals. This is a great buy, reasonably priced. I will always keep Today and Rare Pearls in my rotation. Both are great! ------------- This is a similar fragrance to Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia - they are both fragrance chords which come across like a Monet impressionistic version of the floral they represent. This sprays like an aldehyde/ozonic cloud - and would be great to layer with other fragrances. --------------- If you are drawn to "Today" and enjoy the tuberose notes in this, try Avon's Rare Pearls -- which is a slightly lower chord (more of an alto range) with a beautiful resonance in the same type of floral genre as "Today". Both are compliment magnets ; ) Updated August 17th 2022: Today is actually much smoother than I remember - it is quite tame compared to Central Park West which has more of a biting icy edge to it (there are times when CPW goes a bit too bright/sharp where you feel as though you are getting almost an ice cream headache from it; but this is when you first spray it)... CPW is more in the rafters, much more soprano - almost another octave above Today. Today is a much more gentle, soft expression of tuberose... it is more like the Monet painting type impression of tuberose. (CPW has a crisper bite to it). Today is much easier to wear for every day wear. Today and Rare Pearls are very close expressions -- Rare Pearls is more complex, with different blends of white florals -- whereas Today is more of a single note expression of tuberose. These two are very similar - together they could be perceived as a "signature collection" because they are so close that it would take an expert to tell them apart, unless you were directly comparing them side by side. Today is definitely much more tuberose... and Rare Pearls is more of the white floral blend. But really, they are both a nice alto expression of white florals -- very close. ------------ Several people have said that this is underrated -- keep in mind, this perfume won a major award: This perfume is the winner of award FiFi Award Fragrance Of The Year Women`s Private Label 2005.

I cant remember how I heard of this frag...a friend?...a relative?...but most likely a mention here on Fragrantica as a less expensive option for another fragrance I have been lusting for. And what is that luxury fragrance I've been lusting for? I can't remember, lol! Oh, this FibroFog really has me jotting down notes for myself...remember this, remember that!!! Anyhoo, whatever the reason behind me buying a very reasonable bottle off of eBay is a winner! This fragrance is an intoxicating blend of white flowers (probably my favorite type of frags, but not exclusively). However, this is much different than any white flower frag I own. And I own at least 50 different ones. This is not overpowering, yet the longevity and silliage is amazing. This is not sickeningly sweet as some white flower frags tend to be...it's soft and lovely. It may be an Avon fragrance, which is not one of my favorite fragrance lines...can't even think of one Avon fragrance I own, except Sweet Honesty as a teen only because my mom tried her hand at becoming an Avon lady in the 70s. This lovely fragrance smells like luxury. Even the bottle looks luxe. Run, don't walk, and buy yourself a bottle. If it is discontinued, hit "the bay" and pick one up while prices are still reasonable. With this current Government, the word on the streets is that we are heading into (or are already in the midst of) hyper inflation. If you will be forced to cut back on extravagances, lose jobs, have your home taken away, forced to live in a cardboard box under an over pass...at least you can do so smelling lovely. And btw, I pray every day that all the things I mentioned previously doesn't happen and if it does, we stay strong and united as a Country and for all humanity. Just remembered the very high end, expensive frag this one reminds me of... Estee Lauder's Private Collection Tuberose and Gardenia. It's is a bit of a powerhouse, you must use a light hand. But Avon's Today is a softer version...and a much less expensive alternative. Heck, if your vanity is a show place, fill your EL bottle with Avon's and no one will be the wiser. Unless of course you are best buddies with the scent's creator, lol!

I bought the 10 ml purse spray purely of a sentimental reason. My mum used to have it on her bathroom shelf and being mid 20 then, I remember smelling it on her. Since her passing almost 10 years ago, I forgot all about it until I started looking up avon perfume on here. This sparked the idea to buy the little bottle and see if I remembered the smell. It arrived today and as soon as I sprayed on my wrist, it felt like my mum was hugging me again! It's slightly old fashioned smell to my nose but not as 'old' to exclude it from wearing and I'm sure these compositions will come back when everyone has enough of the sweetness which many of the current fragrances have. It's without aldehydes which I can't stand so it's acceptable for me to wear. Saying that, I will keep and use it on days when my mum's hugs are needed. When I run out, I might buy some more. EDIT: My previous comment that this is slightly dated - It think I rushed in my judgement, I should have given it more time. The more I wear it, the more I love it. After finishing the 10ml bottle I purchased 50ml! It is very feminine and flowery but not in an offensive way. I would class it as romantic perfume. It goes through different stages from the initial spray and as the time passes, I find myself catching different whiffs which render it more interesting. This gem will stay in my collection, not only for its sentimental value but also for the quality of the smell it gives. It's a definite keeper and I really want to take the 'dated' word back and replace it with 'timeless'. This just goes to show that some perfume need time to fall in love with - this is one of them.

unfortunately avon perfumes are'nt available where I live.I was eager to try avon today because of it's fifi prize and also it's special notes.a sample of it was among other samples that my dear swap buddy,niki has sent me I love florals in spring and summer but as soon as the weather gets colder I loose my intrest in florals.even my most beloved florals change to "meh"s,so I thought it's not fair to try today in this cold autumn day.I decided to save it for spring but ciriousity was the winner.I sprayed it on a paper and OMG.it's adorable It's a floral and I can get freesia,orangeflower and tuberose,but there are also lots of flowers that I don't know them.so there's something more than a typical white floral here.I can detect something crisp and almost green and I believe it's cactus and it's very lovely florals are soft,natural,fresh and young.there is a green undertone that makes florals even more fresh just as young flower stems.Avon today smells very natural,fresh and youthful,just like spring.It's a linear scent on me,maybe because I'm suffering a cold and flu and my nose can't act properly.the only differance I get is about drydown which becomes a little sweeter with a hint of musk.this is my first test and I like it very much.I think I may love it during spring and summer.what a shame they don't sell it in my country although it's a soft scent,longevity and sillage are very good.it's been 8 hours since I applied it and it's still strong.it can be a great bride perfume.I link it's scent to picture of a young,sweet and innocent bride,with a simple,pretty and natural face and makeup ❤️❤️❤️❤️
