Haiku Avon for women

It smells clean, fresh and powdery. It's a nice sheer scent.

It's a very clean musky smell- I like it.
I think it's good quality for the price.
Good sillage and longevity.

lily of the valley - I love the shower gel and the lotions but the perfume is too much unless I spray low on my body so I am not walking and smelling it - amazing staying power. Very green or spring scent but mostly - lily of the valley.

this smelled so familiar even when it first came out, a watery green floral - i'm sure it was a near duplicate of something i'd smelled in the past. there's a high-pitched ozoney white floral sort of note that just gives me an instant headache, though.

Just put this on for the first time. Sweet but not cloying. Soapy. I detect some kind of flower (the lily, maybe) and a citrus/limey smell. It's kind of nice but reminds me(just a little) of a citronella candle. I don't get musk or vanilla at all. I'll write an update about the dry-down.

Update: On the dry-down you get a lovely jasmine with a wisp of vanilla at the trail end. This really develops into something nicer than it started. Super floral till the end, though.

i had this perfume when i was a young girl. my mom bought it for me and she also bought goddess also from Avon. anyways i loved the smell and i want it again. now that I'm older and notice the depths of how a perfume can make u smell and feel. this one made me feel good about my sent when i were it. its a sharp smell that's clean not in that soapy way but in like a green forestry way . love this perfume and i think everyone should try it.

This was very refreshing and classy at the same time. A couple years ago both me and mom wore this. It's like a breath of fresh air to me, and makes me think of relaxing somewhere in a steamy warm humid environment. It does tend to get too floral for me at times, so I apply it light. The bottle isn't exactly a charmer in my opinion, way too literal and a little tacky x_x. But still this perfume is really quite nice and very cheap. A good addition if you are looking for a clean and easy scent.

At the time this became aware to me, I was a young girl, just starting to experiment with perfumes that didn't have cartoon characters on the box or smell like sugary candy. Most Avon perfumes out at that time smelled heavily of musk, were too spicy, or just weren't age appropriate for an eleven year old. Then I smelled this. Such a fresh, light oriental floral. It's perfect for anybody; I can just imagine a high class lady from ancient times in Asia walking down a hall as this scent trails behind her. The sister scent, Haiku Awakenings, was quickly added to my slowly growing collection. They're both such clean fragrances it's hard not to like them.

Very green scent that changes very often. It starts off a little fruity/citrusy, slightly flowery, and then begins to drydown into this magical green/woody scent. It smells a bit like ocean air that has passed through the woods and gently touched a few flowers on the way. It does resemble EA green tea but it has more depth to it and it is slightly more sharp. A very green scent that changes often! I would imagine myself wearing this while riding a bike, or on a boat, I feel as if the notes would enhance then :-) pleasant

To me this is a very heavy floral. I pretty much only smell lily and jasmine, none of the citrus notes come through for me. A little goes a long long way and it lasts forever. The bottle design is not a favorite of mine. It's a fine perfume, especially for the price, but I don't think I'll repurchase.

I work with several people who are prone to migraines, so I'm careful about the scents I choose for work. When applied with a light hand, Haiku is a great choice for work since it is a light, somewhat citrusy fragrance. The citrus notes blend well with the floral notes, so it is sweet rather than pungent. The dry down is much nicer and calmer than the initial spray.

If you LOVE this...try the NEW Haiku sunset...fresh and lovely for spring/summer!

Hay una oferta en mi pais de esta estoy entre esta o today gold o Ahorrar para viva the juice o miss dior cherie ;)

I had recently bought the whole set because it was on sale for the price of the eau de toilette. I'll admit, it had been an impulse buy, and I had never smelled a sample. The notes in the fragrance sounded lovely and I was looking for a new fragrance for me that wouldn't break the bank. After trying the shower gel, lotion and perfume spray, I kept smelling this stale, almost sour scent on me. After a couple of hours I decided to return the set - the scent just kept getting worse on my skin. I told my fiancee that I was going to get rid of it, and he nodded and admitted "It kind of makes you smell old..."
I'm never buying a scent without actually spraying it on myself again!
PS - I wrote this same review and submitted it to Avon, and was emailed the next day that my review wouldn't be posted. I'm really leery about buying future Avon products based on their reviews now.

My mother and I adore Haiku; it suits her better as most Avon perfumes do. Very oriental/floral love it on her.

One of the few Avon fragrances that I can wear. Very soft and feminine. I am interested in trying the NEW Haiku Sunset. The scented page in the latest Avon book smells of fresh mandarin coupled with the classic Haiku.

If HAIKU was a garden, it would be filled with the fragrant pure white lilies and lilies of the valley magically blooming at the same time. The fresh wind from afar would carry tender white jasmine blossoms bringing harmony to this fresh, brisk and attractive floral bouquet. I can see this scent in the colors of pure white and cool luscious green, minimalistic and tranquil. The innocence and clarity of the composition, the crisp but smooth texture make this white floral bouquet quite beautiful. I have been wearing this scent for years and especially love it in the spring.

The opening is a lovely pomegranate mixed with strong citrus but it only lasts a few seconds. As soon as the scent interacts with my skin, it transforms into a floral, fresh and green composition with an intense lily of the valley and lily. It reminds me of a fresh burst of spring air. The jasmine note provides nice smooth layer to soften rather sharp lily and lily of the valley. The resulting composition is quite nice white floral bouquet, which turns out to be smooth, cool and pure. The base notes are definitely woody. I never got much vanilla on my skin, especially if compared to many vanilla gourmand fragrances I own.

The lily and lily of the valley are strong in this composition. If you are not fond of these flowers, then I would not suggest this scent. But if you love fresh crisp floral scents with the above notes, then I would definitely recommend this. The longevity and sillage are quite good.

siempre quise tenerla pero siempre habia otra que si imterponia en nuestro camino ahora ya no podremos estar juntas por que donde vivo ya no lo saca avon en su folleto

One of the nicer Avon scents.

Its a clean scent! I do wear this when i was in a high school.

A very nice light day scent if your just running errands and you don't want to be bowling people over.

I like this fragrance very much, especially the jasmin in it, it's a long durable fragrance. It can linger for hours on your skin, very nice fragrance, and it is not too pricey either.
I wear it to work and have got a lot of compliments.

I like this perfume a lot. I have mixed this with DKNY, Pleasures, Believe, or Curious and it smells REALLY good with all of them.

Similar to Anais Anais, this one's brighter, lighter, greener. Anais Anais is more floral. Love the freshness of both of these, like a breath of fresh air in flower-budding Spring.

A light, airy and sweet, crisp green! Drys a little on the powdery side which I like. Good for spring or warmer months. ;o)

this is a nice little green gem from avon. a mild everyday scent that has good staying power. a spritz or 2 behind the ears or on wrists is nice. i love the lily of the valley in it, the little green tea scent, and the dryness of musk. i like it with its own powder, a fresh and feminine way to start your day.

This reminds me of Light Blue by D&G. It just that Haiku have a more stronger citrus and a higher lily notes. To me anything with a cirtusing scent gives off a hair product such as hair-spray.

Strongly floral green fragrance, kinda reminds me of Marks Earth.

I don't know if it is considered a "green scent" or if it is a "white floral", but all I get from this one is Lilly of the Valley. And something else that is very sweet. You might think since it is Avon, it would fade rather quickly. But no. It is very strong and lingers on for hours. It's really strong, so don't use very much or it will make you sick.

I stopped a lady while grocery shopping to ask her what pretty fragrance she was wearing and she said..."It's by Avon, I don't usually wear Avon but I like this one, and it's called 'hockey' something," (I'm thinking hockey pucks?!!) :-O ...so I looked at the Avon website and I figured it must be Haiku she was referring to. Reading the notes, it must be Haiku. Anyway, I haven't worn it myself but I complimented it on someone else. I like this type of citrussy/tart/sweet/floral/woodsy fragrance. If I didn't already have Estee Lauder's Pure White Linen, I would purchase this one. Maybe I will anyway.
ADDING later: I bought a half ounce size to try it for myself, and I like it very much. I wasn't sure the drydown would agree with me (sorry, Avon fans!), but I find it an appealing and uplifting fragrance, very wearable.

I really expected to like this scent because I love florals in general, but this one just seems a bit "off" or lacking- I think it could use a larger squeeze of citrus and a dash of pepper!

This fragrance stinks to me! It smells old-like something old women wear. It's a heavy and strong citrus-smelling fragrance that does nothing for me. What's crazy is that I did like this scent at one point, but then I got sick of its pungent citrus smell-the japanese yuzu. This was one of those deceptive fragrances, that smell good initially but then its true colors are revealed.

This is a simple, clean , creamy fresh floral scent, the vanilla & sandalwood seem to keep the green in this from getting to sharp & overbearing.
Has a hint of soapiness which is not unpleasant to me, it's able to get warmed up by my skin to get that perfect 'skin' scent that I sometimes I'm in the mood for.. very wearable , especially for those who may not like heavier, animalistic scents- this is the complete opposite of those.
Unless you drench yourself in this ,Haiku is completely unoffensive - perfect when you just want to smell pretty .

I will add that I have gotten quite a few compliments when wearing this perfume, pretty amazing for something that doesn't make promises of spectacular sexiness, mystique or sophistication when worn.

P.S. I agree with Falovalo's review - this is very similiar to Victoria's Secret Body by Victoria.

This is Avon's No. 1 seller!!! It never changes!! The top notes are clear and the scent just last long enough to make you smile on a whiff!!

it's easy to wear, not too sweet and not too overpowering. I am always a hugo boss gal. I just finised my Hugo Boss XX, was looking for a new and more economic priced perfume. I ordered this and Far Away. Dont like far away, reminds me of those air freshener in the bathrooms. I do like Haiku, but i did realised the depth of the notes is not as profound as other high end perfumes, but i can live with it for now. Spray it one hour before leaving the house, it will be perfect the moment you step out. the 1.7oz bottle is not to heavy to bring out too. I am wearing this for fall/winter, I am going to get Avon's Always or maybe elizabeth arden's splendor too. But i will always go back to Hugo Boss.

fresh cold smell. a bit too strong 4 me, it hurts my nose.

I really enjoy the prominent lily of the valley, and distinct sandalwood here. The jasmine is not too strong, but it's there, mingling and mixing, providing prescence for the composition.The musk peeks out shyly towards the end. It's fresh, bright, makes me think of the colors green, and white. It's never sweet. It could also be considered an
acquatic scent, due to it's thin, fine, and clear attributes.

I like the smell of this on others just not on me...although after several hours on my skin it smells quite nice...it's just those first few hours it smells like...well...green pee on me...yikes!...a nice sheer light floral oriental "green tea" type fragrance on others though.

I like it...it is fresh, but not too much...the flowers are subtle and not overly sweet, and just a touch of lily of the valley make it oh so innocent. It`s a perfect everyday scent on a right person - I noticed that on some it tends to become soapy and a little nauseating, when on the others it stays fresh and pure.

I was walking in a supermarket the other day and a nice-looking chap followed me to the cashier with chocolates on hand. He tapped my shoulder and awkwardly asked what scent i was wearing.He smiled and said he would like his girlfriend to smell the same..Haha, I laughed to myself. I didnt know this fragrance would last a full ten hours. And it sure impressed a guy half my age.
I'd wear it again tomorrow.

My friend gave me this shower gel..I ordered a perfume sample out of curiousity. The shower gel is kinda strong..and the scent is self was kinda weak..but that goes for most Avon scents in my opinion. A nice floral..but I prefer "sweeter" scents.

My sister wore this once. It was too simple although pleasant enough. Too light, forgettable, too simple and not striking at all.

This is pleasant enough in a green and calming sort of way, but it's rather boring and very forgettable. However, it's inoffensive and does give a certain scent of cleanness. I wouldn't mind wearing it if it's just a casual, everyday occasion and had to wear something but had nothing else to wear. But I certainly wouldn't buy this scent out of my own choice. My bottle came as a gift from someone.

Strangely enough, I like the bath gel a lot better. The gel has a much more detectable scent of soft flowers which I can't smell much of in the perfume.

I tried this in the perfumed body powder and loved it. Can't wait to try it in the cologne. And my husband loves it, which is hard to find.

If there is such a thing as a sheer oriental, this is probably it. Layered but somehow not complex, it is light notes, almost shiny. It's very nice, but it ended a bit too sharply bright on my skin, probably due to the sandalwood in combination with the greens. I love the idea of the notes, but they didn't agree with my chemistry. But on other women I've smelled it as elegant rather than pretty, floral without being sweet or smelling like a facefull of flowers.

A simple statement of sheer poetry! Awake your senses with this fragrance, a spiritual garden floral of jasmine, citrus and lilies. it's just simple perfect 4 everyday use, wonderfull smell i never get tired of it.

A hint of citrus and lily are what I notice on my skin. I like it.

This is good for days when you cant decide what perfume to wear or during the warmer months. It's fresh and inoffensive and smells similar to Victoria's Secret Body By Victoria. The lasting power is pretty good too.

This perfume from avon is one of my favorites. It has changed my mind about perfumes with green notes.

Fresh and light. A nice scent.

I some how lost my bottle of this. It's very light, bright green floral. I think it would be a perfect scent for a teenager of someone just entering the world of perfumes. Silage was great, and I loved wearing it on cold rainy days for some reason.

I really like Haiku, as it is a very fresh scent. It is uplifting, and perfect for reviving the spirit on a gloomy day. I prefer to use just the body lotion (the strength is just perfect). When I do apply this fragrance, I spray the air around me, instead of spraying directly onto my skin, which can be a bit too potent for me. Perfect everyday fragrance.

Wonderful smell, cute bottle and the aroma last all day! its very crisp and all time wearable. 5 stars

This is my day wear fragrance. It reminds me of Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea which I wore before I sold Avon.

It's nothing that hasn't already been done, although it does smell wonderful. It's very wearable. It's not something I am dying to have, but wouldn't mind having.
