Imari who does not have it....This came out the same yr my son was born and I recently acquired another bottle. I agree with drdonna when you layer it, that's when it has its charm. The shower gel and lotion are heavenly not costly but gosh you feel luxurious when you apply it!!!

I think this is a great perfume.It is my favorite from avon,the only thing that I do not like is that the gorgeous and ergonomic bottle is not available in latin america,please Avon bring it to latin america with the powder,shower gel,body lotion and shimmer gel and the beatiful softeners.

The perfume is one of the worst by Avon, it has truly done its days not even my grandmother would wear this stuff.

I just tried this today, and honestly I am neither in love with it.. nor do I hate it.

The top notes are a bit overpowering at first, but after that it is pleasant enough. Kind of reminds me somewhat of Avon's Timeless in someway but with a twist... Also the drydown for some reason reminds me somewhat of Revlon's Charlie, the original one? It isn't exact - they just have to share something that I am finding similar...

I do smell the aldehydes in it which I find nice since I love aldehydes.. I do like many of the notes - the Ylang Ylang, Lily of the Valley, and Tuberose.. and all of the bottom notes with the exception of cedar - I am not really a fan of cedar in my perfume.

I love incense as a general rule in my house, especially various forms of Sandalwood and Frankincense so the incense smell people are talking about I do not find at all bothersome.

My husband is also neutral on this smell as well, and being he is from the Middle East he tends to like rather different smells than the norm & incense and Ouds are his favorites.

Overall not hideous like some make it out to be, but nothing really sexy in my opinion either. I do like the aldehydes though... ;-)

This smells like an eccentric herbal doctor's apocathery

Should not be given as a gift. Very easy one to dislike. lots of incensey, earthy, dearthy, rooty scents. Not fruity, not sweet, not flowery. Kinda bitter scent. I see it as unisex. lasts about 3 hours (on me).

this is truly my favorite fragrance for evening. it is very sophisticated. i don't care for the cologne spray, just the shower gel and body lotion. they are dynamite. and you can always pull out a little bottle of the lotion if things get too quiet!

IMARI I LOVE . IT'S SENSUAL SMELL IS SOFT AND ROMANTIC. IT DOESN'T COVER YOU WITH SMELL . IT EVENLY COVERS YOU WITH AROMA. IT LAST ALL NIGHT AND WHILE YOU WISP AROUND YOU FEEL LIKE A REAL WOMAN.

It's cheap smelling an incense-y. I don't like it at all :/

Love it! It goes on strong at first then dries down to a spicy creamy vanilla.My 11 year old loves it on me. I will definitely buy it again but think it's not for everyone. It really has to work with your body chemistry.

I first smelled Imari from my grandma when I was a little girl. She had just about every perfume known to man. I used to go in her bedroom and try on just about every scent that she owned. I definitely remember Imari as a child. It was really strong, but it smelled great. Quite a few years had passed since I smelled it again. I recieved a bottle from my cousin as a gift. This time when I smelled it, it was still strong and I didn't like it as much as I used to. The scent is really spicy and smells heavily of incense. I'm not opposed to spicy fragrances, but this one doesn't do it for me. I definitely wouldn't buy this for myself. It's a bit too spicy for my liking.

Does anyone know if this fragrance is the is older / American version of Avon Treselle toghether with Imari Seduction for Treselle Seduction. The Seduction bottle / packaging designs are very similar.

Rich is the right word for it. A bit heavy and incensey to me.

Imari is an old favorite of mine - I still remember how it seemed such a rich and sophisticated scent when I used it. It has been a number of years since I have used Imari - looking at the notes, I wonder it if might not be time to give it another try ...
