Today Tomorrow Always Absolute

@lemonzest: Today Tomorrow Always Absolute will be available to the general US Avon customers in Campaign 9 (just in time for Mother's Day) in 2017; at least here in the northeastern US district). Those reps involved in the advanced sneak peek program (as mine is) should receive it sometime in late March or early April. I just received my Prima set with lotion and shower gel on Thursday Nov 4,2016 and it doesn't go on sale in brochures until December (campaign 26). BTW Prima is perhaps one of the best feminine releases this House has done since Passion, and I hope that this is a trend and it seems they almost always save the best creations until year's end. I'm always a little miffed when something is released in the EU & overseas and NOT in the US considering its an American based corporation. (Clean Rain, LaCroix his & hers Nuits and Ambres...just to name a few). Worldwide distribution should be just that-world wide. My thanks to kind Fragranticans who have allowed me to swap or purchase scents unavailable here...and to those who have voted on notes sillage and longeviy. Now...if we could just get some reviews?

I bought this perfume a few weeks ago and I've worn it a bunch of times already. It's like orange blossom on steroids with a sandalwood base. I love bergamot in a fragrance and I also like quirky perfumes and this one fits that category for me. It's sweetness is what grabs me. The thing that some people have commented on not liking is what I really dig about Today Absolute. I love orange blossom so for me it was a great unexpected delight to find this one. Summer love for me! Edit: I'm quietly stocking up on this one. It's becoming a contender to share my HG with L'Origan! That is really saying something too. I'm thinking TA for warmer months and L'Origan for cooler weather. They both have that definitive statement of scent, not-shy but very graceful in their beauty.

This is so lush and glam smelling. So sophisticated smelling... I think I may love it! This is so smooth and creamy smelling. Sandalwood and jasmine, citrus of some sort and I Know there must be vanilla in there somewhere. Ahhhh, sniffing my arm, it's glorious and so long lasting. I dabbed some on my arm while at work and went about my business and kept smelling some really good perfume, I wondered where the smell was coming from and started sniffing everywhere, only to find out it was this lovely. I want a full bottle ASAP! I only have a sample vial and I'm looking forward to having more and more and more of this wonderful scent.

Hi All, AVON is launching this Now in C.9 just in time for Mothers Day And being a Pure PARFUM This is like a More Concentrated Version of The Original TODAY that was launched in 2004 which takes it to the Next level, So if you liked Today you should Love ABSOLUTE! Here are the detailed notes Top: Calabrian Bergamot, Italian Lemon, Muguet Mid: Orange Flower Absolute Signature, Orris, Hibiscus Petals Base: Sandalwood Sri Lanka, Patchouli, Honey Provence Signature

This is my husband's favorite perfume on me! I'm so upset that it's been discontinued, as I consider it to be the best, longest lasting perfume Avon has made. This is sweet but not overpowering, slightly warm, and very comforting. He smells vanilla in this and he loves vanilla. I hate it, so this is great for me because it tricks him. Love love LOVE this fragrance.

By chance, this sits right next to Poison Girl on my wardrobe shelf here on Fragrantica; I like it much better! It is sweet yet sophisticated. It is very well made, well blended. Not such a bargain yet as it costs $1 per ml and is only available in 30ml bottles. I expect it'll go on sale but it's worth the full price in my opinion. Another great blind swap!

I agree that this Today Tomorrow Always scent doesn't bear any resemblance to the others, well ok just marginally. It is very strong, very sweet but was a revelation in that it feels as though you are wearing something more high end than simply Avon. The orange blossom leaps out on you from the off. Combined with a beautiful bottle this is a stunner.

FYI: This will be Launching in the U.S. in Campaign 9 2017 just in time for Mother's Day, and will be in Pure PARFUM concentration Not an EDP as listed here on Fragrantica P.S. Also This was composed by Master Perfumer Olivier Cresp

On my skin this smells like a more wearable Nuxe Prodigieux and as the day had worn on it's even a bit like Jill Sander Sun. I quite like it to be honest and glad I bought it even though I am not a great Avon fan .

This reminds me of the long-missed Avon Today, Tomorrow, Always Heart which I loved. Honeyed fruits and soft flowers. This is a warm sweet floral with a great deal of class.

I only have a sample of this and decided to wear it today. I feel like I'm wearing a sugar explosion. I do agree with other reviewers that this is a little bit Beautiful-esque underneath, however oh my God the sweetness. This is very, VERY cotton candy. I hope I don't get a headache from it (must remember to stay hydrated today, ha!). This perfume could use a bit more complexity. I'm wondering if it's mostly the citrus that is making it so sweet, so hopefully it will dry down more woody and balsamic as the notes say is in there somewhere. I've only been wearing this for about 10 minutes so far... Okay, it's been a few hours now and it's hardly changed. This is just the sweetest orange juice smell you can imagine. I'm wondering if I put something on, like a musk oil to give it depth, that it might be more bearable. I'd say, if you are into super-sweet, this is a cheap thrill. If not, stay away. EDIT: I was in Ulta the other day and decided to test La Vie Est Belle. I actually sprayed the Sensual version (with hazelnut) on. VERY SWEET. Now almost a week later, my jacket sleeve still has that smell on it. It reminds me so much of this AVON perfume. If you like LVEB, you may like this one. I'm a lover of sweet perfumes, but both of these are a pass for me.

I have been exploring some of Avon’s fragrances recently. I’ve tended to avoid them in the past as the two or three I’d had any experience of, I’d disliked. I’ve had some hits and some misses, but really the same can be said for any house. This one was a nice surprise. I’ll admit upfront it was the bottle that sucked me in - who could resist that adorable pink cube? When I first sprayed it my initial reaction was ‘oh no - too sweet!’ The sweetness was a little overwhelming but it quickly started to settle. Still sweet, but acceptably so, and the bergamot/rose/orange blossom is very pretty. It dries down to a really nice sandalwood. Longevity isn’t great but it’s ok - I get maybe four hours, but at this price I don’t mind respraying. TTA Absolute is a keeper, and I may even buy a back up - this is Avon after all so who knows how long this might be around.

I just got a sample. This is sweet like many scents now. I don't care...even Dolce and Gabanna took a masterpiece and made a candy sweet scent. I don't care if Avon is a copycat. Everyone is! Avon just happens to offer some of the lowest prices with great quality. I LOVE this. I WANT and will get this for sure. LOVELY! I smell orchid, maybe like Victoria Beckham's Signature for Her, or Halle Berry's Pure Orchid. I can see wearing this year 'round! I know I will! I'm excited! I see this is only a 1oz bottle. I've sampled it the last few nights and it just isn't lasting more than one hour for me. I'm not so sure I can't live without it now. I'll wait to hear how it lasts on here before actually buy it. It's so beautiful though.

Absolute is one of my favorite fragrances from Avon, but, unfortunately, is no longer found in catalogues. Beautiful scent of orange and sandalwood supplemented with tender bergamot. The composition is very sophisticated. These are flowers, sweetness and astringency. I don't know where the astringency comes from, but everything together sounds perfectly. If I wouldn't know it is Avon, I never guess that. It sounds very luxuriously and femininely. Longevity and sillage are excellent, especially on clothes. In my opinion, Absolute is the best fragrance in the Today, Tomorrow, Always series. I hope someday they will return it to the catalogue.

Well now, I ordered this on ebay as it is not available in the UK yet. Yes it is dirty jasmine and it reminded me of something, it took me a while but it is a slightly lighter version of Lush lust. I love LL but it gives me a rash. This doesn't and I love it. On my skin the jasmine is prominent and dirty but not indolic. Certainly I can detect the sandalwood and a little something to freshen it - could be the bergamot. Easily wearable in the day but also suitable for evening. I will be re purchasing this, it's a class act from Avon. Edit - forgot to say its longevity is all day and sillage great too- scenting my 10 x 10 ft office

So disappointed in this one. Blind bought it based on the notes.It smells nice every where but on my skin, something makes me uncomfortable about the smell from first spray on up to drydown....I'll use it for air/closet/linen spray though because it does smell nice that way...still mad because I could've spent that $30 on a Britney or Katy since I was buying cheap

Definitely my type. Its sweet, longlasting and oriental one. The most favourite scent from Avon.

I had to blind buy this because my Avon rep did not return my call for a sample. I should have found another rep, because I can’t wear this. The first blast is so tooth-achingly sweet, and it reminded me strongly of Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Intense, which I swapped away for precisely this reason. It does settle down, but it’s just “meh.” Orange blossom mixed with sandalwood that smells something like a creamy lotion that a grandmother might wear. This isn’t how I want to smell. Longevity is disappointing for a “concentrated eau de Parfum with a great deal of aromatic oils.” I’ve had it on for just 2 hours, and I can only smell it if I stick my nose directly on my wrist. I was hopeful when it was first sprayed (twice), as it was super strong—and sweet! Did I already mention that?! And yes, the bottle is pretty...but that’s not a good enough reason for me to hang on to this one.

this starts with a big blast of synthetic orange blossom with sandalwood backing it up. i thought it was an orange/vanilla combo before i looked at the notes. i love all these notes, but for me it's just too synthetic and sweet.

Smells a way too cheap and sweet,nothing close to the amazing Essenza form Oriflame.

This is a full bouquet of flowers smell on me. I love this - because it is very similar to my beloved "Beautiful" fragrance, but less expensive. I haven't worn this a lot yet, but have sampled this on my arm with several other fragrances. I bought this because it seemed very classic, romantic, and blended. The notes of this blend with my chemistry rather than leaping out and calling attention to individual notes. This is one of those fragrances that I will have to ease into - over time. I still have a lot of my "Beautiful" left - so will definitely run a polling test to see which of my friends prefer this fragrance over Beautiful - and visa versa! If it were not for all of the many compliments that I've received on "Rare Pearls" and "Rare Gold" from the Avon Collections, I would probably have never found an Avon rep to try the other fragrances. I highly recommend meeting with an Avon rep to see more of their line. If you like one fragrance, there are probably dozens more that you will like - and you may find one that you like even more than your very FAVORITES!

Astonishingly in love with this, its summer in my country and i sprayed it on my wrists . I must say its oriental, fruity and sugar. Initially its quite dominant with the oriental base of sandalwood this stays for like 3 good hours the other bases played in beautifully for like 6 hours. It end up with a sugar like smell with an exotic taste. I define it exotic instead of oriental. It reminds me of a sweet dior perfume (cant remember the name) Definetly not synthetic. Smell moderate Longevity long lasting Rated 3/5 Its a must have perfume I prefer to wear it at night Summer perfume This perfume appeared in the campaign 14 in mauritius and was attractive with its gift on.. for rs1000 you would get the perfume ìn 30ml with a nail polish 12ml, sparkle gold liner and mascara in black and lastly a foot balm of 50ml. I bought this in a wrap with my agent and when i received it was dissapointed that for this price it was a 30 ml.

I love this fragrance, though I wasnt expecting it to be so sweet that it took over all the other notes. The sweetness remains throughout the day though it's not cloying or sickly. I can see this being worn for a summer wedding. I get lots of orange blossom and rose though it's not listed as a note. The citrus fruits do open the fragrance very strongly then the orange blossom and a sweet honeyed rose appears. I cannot smell the white florals on me, as what florals I smell are not unlike Lushs Rose Petal Jam. Strange. It does smell lovely when it has settled down and I think it needs a light application and not a dowsing. It is strong due to the higher concentration of perfume oils, and lasts a full days wear. I believe it is being discontinued in the UK so I need to stock up.

I- ME, I don't technically own this perfume, but we have it in the house. It belongs to my mom, it's been around probably since I was born and I'm not some sort of a perfume expert, so I was really surprised that this has been discontinued. My mom doesn't like this perfumes and we honestly use it just as air freshener when we have a.. little accident in the bathroom. (Half a joke). But, personally, it's pretty good! It's not breathtaking, but if I would've smelled this on someone I'd definitely be like: "wow, this is amazing" and would've asked someone what they're wearing. It's citrus-y, yet quite sweet! It's definitely a fresh, yet strong scent. I really like it!

@gypsy parfumista This perfume was released this month in Russia ( I feel overflowing with new scents in last 9 weeks because we have Avon Life from Kenzo, and TTA Absolute, and Incadessence flunker, and the Little Lace Dress, not to forget to mention Imari - a totally new line for us and Alpha that is a fail). This is very strong sandalwood scent with a tiny citrus on start , probably this is the only note I could catch. For me it is old-fashioned and annoying unfortunately. May be in the summer it will be better, in the winter colds it is some kind of essential oil , not perfume.

I just thrifted a bag of Avon fragrances, still in their boxes, I haven’t smelled an Avon in ages. I agree with reviewers saying you wouldn’t know this was Avon. This is a happy/interesting/ pretty perfume. I’m pleasantly impressed. The bottle matches it well. I could see this being really lovely on a rainy day, it has a comforting feeling. Easy wear for sure. I’ve misted a scarf, see how it hangs around on clothes. I even picked a light flowy pink scarf:)

I can not emphasize enough how concentrated it is. It is not EDP, it's a true Perfume. Overspraying is almost unavoidable, I did not expect such a strong scent from Avon. When it settles down, it smells almost exactly as TTA My Everything (which I love), but if your skin gets warmer, the smell burst out as a sugar bomb. So it's very tricky, I would suggest getting a sample before buying.

It does not smell like today or beautiful. It's because it has patchouli in it, that changes everything. It has the bergamot, white floral sweetness but with patchouli it becomes more kinda like coco mademoiselle but just kinda. It also reminds me of some of these powerful smelling laundry additives. It's not terrible.

Initial spray is sweet/sweet...orange blossom/bergamot...then sandalwood ....At first spray...I did not like this at all. Typical fruity/floral bomb like many others out there today. I have to admit,the drydown is much better, but this is not for me at all.

I'm going to be using up my little bottle of this the coming week. Although it is a strong like, it's not a love. I'm moving soon so I am going through some that are low. How can a fragrance with not really any fruity notes smell so fruity lol!?

Similar to other Avons that offer sweet, but deeply rich fruity florals (Rare Amethyst, Prima). I don't detect much orange in the orange blossom. More of a mix of white florals and plum.

I liked this on the brochure page, I found it warm and powdery.. Husband said it reminded him of fly spray! I've never smelled fly spray so I don't care, still want it!

It is like being hit by a giant truck of orange blossom in sugar syrup. Strong, powerful, headache and diabetes inducing and certainly not my cup of tea.

That bottle is so pretty! And I'm loving the notes! Sounds like it could be a winner for me!
