Haiku by Avon

What a lovely summer afternoon to wear my Haiku, fresh, aquatic and floral. I bought it 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 the Asian spirit, bringing to mind a walk across a bridge over a stream in a Japanese zen garden, among pagodas, with a light drizzle. With the delicacy of a geisha… It earns compliments. I hope Avon, Natura and company wake up and start selling this treasure again. If asked 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 smell it at 100%.

I liked the bottle; it was very pretty. It’s a fresh, crisp aroma that projects order, evoking a serene and focused woman. It smells of fresh leaf or clean skin with a touch of white flower. I’m not sure if the formula is still the same. I purchased it around 2009 for my university placements.

Fresh, citrusy, moderately floral, clean. A daily fragrance, suitable for the office, as the price is accessible… Very pleasant overall. A pity it doesn’t last very long on me.

The value for money is incredible. A blend of lemon, jasmine and lily that is perfect for summer, afternoon strolls and informal outings. If you wear it with body lotion, it won’t overpower and leaves a trail of flowers with hints of fruit.

They haven’t discontinued it yet and I keep buying it for its fresh and sweet fragrance, so rich and lovely for summer. It has good projection and longevity; it’s a tender and pleasant scent that goes down well, simple and not as artificial as others from the brand. It doesn’t hit hard but cheers you up, 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 thing is that it’s not expensive and lasts quite a while.

I bought it blind. I was drawn to the packaging and thought it would be very fresh, and I wasn’t wrong! It feels fresh; I smell Japanese citrus (it sounds more like lemon to me, but a lovely one), it smells a little like CK One, but only a little, and I absolutely love it. I recommend it for daytime and daily wear; of course, if you apply body lotion, the scent will be much better. In my opinion, it’s 100% recommended if you like fresh and zesty but pleasant scents. I think any woman can wear it; I gave it to my aunt and she loved it too. Best wishes!

Avon hardly manages to surprise me with their fragrances, either because they smell very synthetic or due to their poor longevity… To be honest, 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 favourite 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 and casual day. Or to sleep, I wear it for that, as its scent is very sweet. But recently I found out they discontinued it. Well, at least it won’t be a loss hard to overcome.

I love Haiku, it’s a very fresh scent. It’s uplifting and perfect to revive the spirit on a gloomy day. It starts citrusy, slightly floral, and then the drydown is a magical green/woody scent. 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 using it while riding a bicycle or on a boat, feeling as if the notes increase pleasantly.
