The Valentine's Fragrance Guide: Which Avon Scent Is She?
Floral, warm, fresh or sweet — match her personality to the perfect $25 perfume (and know what to buy yourself).
Perfume is the most personal gift there is — which is exactly why people are scared to buy it. Here's my cheat sheet. Every Avon eau de parfum is $25 this February, so you can afford to get it right (or grab two and let her choose). If she already has a signature scent, buy that. If not, read on.
If she's a classic romantic → Far Away
Avon's #1 fragrance for a reason: warm vanilla, jasmine and amber. Soft, feminine and instantly recognizable. Safe in the best possible way.
If she loves a bold entrance → Imari or Imari Dreams
Imari is spicy, glamorous and unapologetic — a Saturday-night scent. New Imari Dreams softens it with creamy florals for everyday wear.
If she's elegant and understated → Rare Pearls
Lush magnolia and warm woods with a hint of pearl musk. Smells expensive, wears close to the skin. Perfect for the woman who 'doesn't really wear perfume.'
If she's playful and pink → Rare Pink Sapphire
Juicy raspberry and peony over soft musk. Sweet without being sugary — my pick for sisters, daughters and best friends.
If she's calm and fresh → Haiku Kyoto Flower
Cherry blossom, pear and white tea. Clean, serene and office-friendly. Great for someone who hates heavy scents.
If she wants something modern → LYRD Cherry Vetiver
Dark cherry meets earthy vetiver — the niche-fragrance vibe at $25.99 instead of $120. For the friend who shops at Sephora.
Make it a set
Pair any perfume with its matching Perfumed Skin Softener ($5) or hand cream ($7) and you've got a layered, longer-lasting gift that looks twice as generous.
Galentine's & self-love
You don't need a partner to deserve perfume. Treat yourself to a new scent, light a LYRD candle, mask up with Anew and call it a night in.
