Haiku by Avon

What a lovely summer afternoon to show off my Haiku—fresh, aquatic, and floral. I picked it up a year and a half ago at a bazaar in Mexico from an Avon saleswoman. I’m dying to know who designed it. Nardos, lilies, jasmine, peonies, and yuzu, all very refined and subtle. It’s like drops of dew turning it into an aqueous elixir. It captures an Asian spirit, bringing to mind a walk across a bridge over a stream in a Japanese zen garden, among pagodas, with a light mist. With the delicacy of a geisha… It draws compliments. I hope Avon, Natura, and the rest wake up and start selling this treasure again. If someone asks what it smells like, without hesitation I say it’s the EAU of Issey Miyaki, with an Asian heart. I enjoy it; it’s intimate and personal, and anyone who gets close will feel it 100%.

I liked the packaging, very pretty. It’s a fresh, crisp scent that projects order, like a calm and focused woman. It smells like fresh leaves or clean skin with a touch of white flower. I’m not sure if it still has the same formula. I bought it back around 2009 to wear to my university internships.

Fresh, citrusy, moderately floral, and clean. Ideal for everyday wear or the office since it’s accessible… Very pleasant overall. Just that on me, it doesn’t last very long.

What you get for the price is incredible. It smells like lemon, jasmine, and lilies, perfect for summer, walks, and casual outings. If you use it with its body cream, it doesn’t overwhelm and leaves a trail of flowers and fruity touches.

They haven’t discontinued it yet, and I keep buying it for its fresh and sweet fragrance, so rich and beautiful for summer. It has good projection and longevity; it’s a tender, pleasant scent that goes well, simple, and not as artificial as other scents from the brand. It doesn’t hit hard but it delights, giving a sense of relaxation and cleanliness, like a soap mixed with a good cologne. I recommend it for those who want to smell clean, a complement to hygiene on hot days; it goes well, the best part is that it’s not expensive and lasts quite a while.

I bought it blind. It caught my attention with its style; I thought it would be very fresh and I wasn’t wrong! It feels fresh to me; I perceive Japanese citrus (it sounds more like lemon to me, but pretty), it smells a little like CK One, but just a tiny bit, and I like it a lot. I recommend it for daytime and daily wear, and of course, if you apply the cream, the scent will be much better; in my opinion, it’s 100% recommended if you like fresh and citrusy but beautiful scents. I think any woman can use it; I gave it to my aunt and she loved it too. Cheers!

Avon almost never surprises me with their fragrances, either because they smell very synthetic or due to their poor longevity… Honestly, I don’t have a good impression of Avon. But Haiku is one of the few from that franchise that lasts on me, and it doesn’t smell harsh or artificial. It’s my favorite for those days when I don’t want to draw much attention. I only wear it with the cream and that’s it. I perceive it as floral, citrusy, delicate, and soft. It’s not meant to make an impact; it’s for a simple, casual day. Or for sleeping; I wear it for that because its scent is very sweet. But recently I found out they discontinued it. Well, at least it won’t be a hard loss to overcome.

I love Haiku; it’s a very fresh scent. It’s uplifting and perfect for reviving the spirit on a gloomy day. It starts citrusy, slightly floral, and then the drydown is a magical green/woody aroma. It smells like a sea breeze that has passed through the woods and gently touched some flowers along the way. A very green scent that often changes. I imagine wearing it while riding a bicycle or on a boat; I feel like the notes increase pleasantly.
