middle notes
base notes
Extraordinary is a marvelous floral oriental combination of the sparkling champagne and the creamy chocolate candies. It is a very joyous, optimistic and feminine fragrance – luxurious but not demanding. It agrees with any and every occasion, as every day can be a special occasion should you choose it to be, and with every dress style - blue jeans, to the office, party dress, or any other extraordinary occasion.
The top notes composition is unusual and attractive at the same time. The citrus notes of grapefruit and tangerine, and the fruity notes of guava are accompanied with soft whisper of pepper and radiant, dazzling champaign notes. The heart is exotic, deep and rich, composed of orchid, golden ginger flower and lotus flower laced with luscious chocolate. The warm velvety base is created of pale woods, sandalwood, and musk, with hint of patchouli and creamy vanilla. The perfume was created in 2005.
The nose behind this fragrance is Harry Fremont.

This was a very nice fragrance for women. Sexy, classy, sheer, and with an outstanding bottle. It is also a very subtle reinterpretation of chocolate.

Extraordinary by Avon is a delightful surprise. I know some of Avon scents smell cheap and are synthetic, but Extraordinary really captured me in its embrace. It's opening is potent and powerful, and definitely one of Avon's sexier scents. The drydown is like having chocolate for dessert. Mmm, Chocolate-Spicy-Aromatic. I don't know why I still haven't bought a bottle yet. It's definitely at the top of my list of Avon's best perfumes. A very romantic and classic scent. Ideal for intimate and special occasions during the fall and winter.

Avon has pretty decent fragrances,I must say.All of them are special and do not smell cheap,nor expensive,though.What I like about Avon is that each fragrance is specially chosen and represents a type of woman/personality/trait.
Avon Extraordinary is no exception.Though I wouldn't link the chocolate smell with the word extraordinary,it is a very nice perfume with a nice staying power,3-4 hours on my skin.And that's great for me!There are a lot of expensive fragrances that don't last that much on my skin.
I would have taken the vanilla from the base notes,but even with it it's a fine fragrance.
If you adore chocolate,here is a nice and non-expensive fragrance for you!

This perfume and Surrender are the best from Avon. Unfortunately the content in my bottle is ending in some months and I can´t buy it in Brazil anymore ´cause its discontinued in here...=( Every woman should try this one! =)

Smells to me a little bit like Britney`s Believe. You can smell the pepper and the chocolate. The scent is spicy and not too strong.
05/30/09 12:32:29
After trying it a few times I decided it's not for me. It's just too chocolaty.....

I bought this after looking for a spicy-chocolate-y scent. The fragrance is lovely up to the middle notes where I'm getting a fresh-spicy vanillic combo then it just stays so and doesn't develop further! Only at the very end do I get a tiny hint of sandalwood very close to the skin. I've never had problems with base notes developing on my skin especially woodsy ones like cedar, patchouli or sandalwood, I always wore them well. This is a complete disappointment. As the dark chocolate on my smells more like coffee as it mingles with citrus fruits / ginger and pepper, I stopped wearing (Extra)ordinary and bought Torrente L'Or instead. A beautiful creation that's just like what Extraordinary tried to be but couldn't.

When I smelled “Extraordinary” for the first time, the first thing I said to myself was: it is one of its kind… The dark chocolate scent note used seemed to be a very clever idea by AVON to bring in a fragrance.
Now a day, if you ask me what I think of it, I will probably answer that I am a bit confused with it here. I continue to like the dark chocolate scent note, but together with tangerine, pepper, vanilla included? I am not fond of those aroma scents added all together in the same fragrance anymore. I believe that I should had given some more thoughts before purchasing it (making always the same mistake, but with some exceptions…).
If I like “Extraordinary”? Believe it or not, I cannot say for sure… It seems that I can’t make up my mind after all!

I tried this perfume and it had a very long lasting effect. Sadly I had to stop using it as my boyfriend said it does not suit my skin.
I am now selling it on eBay UK. Search for "Avon Extraordinary Eau de Parfum".

What a nice surprise!I am trying this fragrance right now (thanks to SandraS!)and on my skin it smells like Muscat Champagne! And it surely has bubbles:) The base is very cinnamony and woody on my skin. Very interesting fragrance!:D And the staying power is good.
01/28/09 11:22:43
i fell in love with it,once smelt,top notes are very refreshing,middle and base are unique and longlasting,great one.

mmsmizgud546 review is spot on. I couldn't have said it better myself!
So far this is the only Avon Fragrance I have tried. It's very chocolaty and sweet. I don't think I've had such a fragrance which such a strong chocolate scent. Avon did a good job with this one and because of that, I'm curious now about their others.

Gorgeous smell! One of the Avon’s best. It opens with voluptuous dark chocolate note, and then melts to something soft, creamy and sweet. Stays close to the skin and gives a cozy feeling.
01/12/09 12:23:19
Chocolate, it's what can smell in this fragrance. It also has a distinct spiciness. Very lovely, one of my favourite Avon perfumes.
01/08/09 14:09:23
:P this is like a...boudoir fragrance...smth i would wear on a romantic night with my boyfriend, while feeding him strawberry and champagne...but not a perfume you would like to wear in the middle of the day at a office meeting...u don't wanna play fetch the strawberry with the boss now, do u ? :)) it's way too heavy for daywear, and in some seasons even for the evening...a keeper for the winter or the fall
12/29/08 12:06:49
Nooo. big no. Too much to chocolate -heavy note makes me sick.I gave it away after I wore it once. It has something anoying with it, and I could't get it off...
12/15/08 12:10:41
This is a wonderful perfume but you cant use too much!! I repeat! I has a warm, creamy, classy scent. Initally the peppery, chocolate with a hint of citrus. Next the vanilla, musk with a tiny bit of floral. Lastly a hint of the patchouli, sandalwood and strangly because it is a middle note, orchid! It is a beautiful scent, price is great but go easy on it. Usuing too much ruins it!
12/08/08 05:44:59
Fantastic bottle! Scent was VERY strong! Not my thing as I prefer sweet scents. I agree with other comments that I could detect bitter chocolate, spiced champagne and pepper, but it was too heavy for me.
10/26/08 05:02:33
I love this! The scent is magical and the bottle is very elegant. Perfect for the fall and winter months. The bottle is so pretty that when my first one was empty it had to go on the shelf with my collection of pretty bottles.

Only fragance from Avon I like. Very warm and lasting without being overwelming.
The first note that hits me is chocolate powder, Then a litle peper and lotus, wrapped in wood notes. The dry down is very linear on me. I detect a "sour" note, that gives it body and keeps it from being sweet, making it very wearable. It stay on all day and makes me feel special and distint and a confident woman.

didnt like that fragrance coz its normal nothing new
09/25/08 07:54:13
smells like many perfumes in avon nothing updated
09/13/08 13:41:34
I didn't like it. It was a "heavy" perfume and everyone was asking me "What the hell are you wearing???"
08/17/08 02:37:53
Well done Avon! The chocolate truffle note doesn't come up on me. It just smells like powder & spiced champagne. The bottle design is suspiciously identical to the Hermes 24 Fau. bottle. While Extraordinary isn't my favorite perfume, I do get quite a few compliments while wearing it. I don't wear it often, but I will keep a bottle in my collection. The lasting power is decent (around 2-3 hours). One of Avon's better scents.
01/17/08 17:18:54
i simply love this chocolate-spicy aroma. it lifts the spirit and increases self-confidence. it is so luminous, sparkly and feminine. and the bottle is so elegant.
