Today Avon for women

I just bought it! It was my obsession since I smelled it in the Avon catalog,I run to buy it. It is very elegant, very classy, I'm dare to say smells better than any Chanel, Dior, YSL perfume, all houses, does not compare to what this perfume smells, so sophisticated.
It's incredible, the best I've ever smelled a floral like this in my life. Although the bottle seems as outmoded, the perfume is exquisite.
This perfume will be with me for many years, perfect for daily use!

ESPAÑOL!!
Ya lo compré! me obsecioné desde que lo olí en el catalogo Avon, en cuanto pude fui a comprarlo. es muy elegante, con mucha clase, me atrevo a decir que huele mucho mejor que cualquier perfume Chanel, Dior, YSL, la marca que me digan, no se compara a lo fino que huele este perfume.
Es un foral increible, el mejor floral que he olido en la vida. Aunque la botella se ve como pasada de moda, el perfume es exquisito.
este perfume estará conmigo por muchos años, perfecto para usarlo diario!!

I love this fragrance, so floral and feminine. Beautiful perfume!!

Salut to all fellow fragranticas. I just want to add my thumbs up for this perfume. I have a tester, despite of exotic flowers, I can smell familiar flowers, fresh and just cut, in the vase, with quite a note of fresh honey, you know-that brown and still very liquidy, with bees around it:)First stage of love, Today, smells with spring flowers. I would like this romantic smell to be part of the oriental sultriness of Tomorrow and ripe fruitiness of Always. I wish Love never to loose it's freshness.

I received this for Christmas a few years ago when it was first introduced. I remember the scent being nice, really, which i didn't expect from them. I've tried many Avon perfumes and this was the best in the lot,imo. Avon scents, btw, aren't so much uniteresting as they just don't have a proper budget to pull off some of their more "sophisticated" fragrances. That being said,why can't Avon just make a simple cologne, and market their first unisex fragrance?

This is very good parfume for women. It definitely smells like parfums from higher class.

If youre a floral person then this is for you but I'm not a fan if this I prefer tomorrow out f this collection ....today is too floral for me

I was intrigued by this perfume since getting a whiff of it in an Avon catalogue a few weeks ago. And when I received my sample today, I wasn't disappointed in the least. It was love at first smell, and it only got better. I seriously think I've found my signature scent. I can't define it or classify it, but I know it's the most incredible perfume I've smelled in a long time. THIS is how I want to smell. The drydown... oh la.

One thing worries me though- I googled the next few Avon brochures, and Today appears in the outlet brochure for the last campaign brochure of the year. It's an incredibly good deal, but does that mean it's going to be discontinued?!? How can this be?!?

So to all you fellow Today lovers, keep your eyes peeled for the next few Outlet brochures. You may want to stock up (but leave some for me)!

I read the description of this and was like OH that sounds so different i have to try it. then i bought it... and its not bad, its just not me. so i gave it to my mom. but i do enjoy smelling it sometimes.

This has to be the best Avon perfume Avon has produced. If some one had blind folded me and told me to smell, I would have thought this was a higher end market fragrance. All i can say is Beautiful, sexy, irresistible and is becoming the first perfume i draw for every morning.

After a somewhat disastrous relationship between my body chemistry and TTA Gold, I approached Avon's Today with a reasonable amount of caution.

I need not have worried as Today is spectacular! My skin loves it and I smell gorgeous in it (thank goodness!).

The tuberose note in Today is startlingly GOOD, perhaps one of the nicest presentations of tuberose on my skin. Now that's sayin' something right?

The tuberose in Today is crisp and fresh, not heavy nor is it potentially depressing due to the flower's innate sombreness.

I have no idea what cactus smells like but I am noticing a trend, perfumes I am falling madly in love with lately, all contain a cactus note.

I am familiar with this scent, it smells a lot like a range of French skincare I use. A delightful bonus.

I purchased a sample of this and have been wearing it for the last couple of days. I received my first compliment for wearing it today. What a lovely, feminine, floral fragrance. A perfect start for the Australian Spring. I will be buying a full bottle of this and look forward to wearing it during the hotter months.

This is really an enjoyable fragrance. It smells like a summer day after rain.

You are right Elka, Today is AMAZING!!

Every time I wear it I got tons of compliments and questions on the perfume - men colleagues want to buy it for their wives afterwards - they want to smell it always.
Light, fresh, floral and indulging, it attracts people to you. Just believe and try once :-)

This perfume works so well with my chemistry. I would not be without it. A compliment magnet.

it's quite nice, but I always want to wear another one of my perfumes more... so I gave it away.

FLORAL! So incredibly floral and I get nothing else....not that it is bad but....its just floral. I can only wear it once in a while too....floral!

This is the only Avon scent that I ever really loved. Today is much more expensive smelling than the average Avon fragrance. To me, this is slightly reminiscent of old school suntan lotion(much more elegant ofcourse) and I have had other people discribe it that way as well. I would imagine thats the orange blossom and perhaps the hibiscus.
All in all, this is a beautiful scent. Long lasting and carries well.(You will get tons of compliments)
A real Avon stand out!

I ordered this one first a few weeks ago and I like it too but I do like the Tomorrow best of the two I have. Today is a stronger scent to me but there is something in it that makes me just like it not love it. I will be using it from time to time because I like to change fragrances often so as not to become so use to them, I can no longer smell them on myself. Today is a lovely fragrance in a lovely heavy glass bottle and is a nice addition to my fragrance wardrobe. I will keep it.

It was a gift, its a nice floral that stays on, the pepper is a nice spicy accent. I need to wear it more.

A question which is better this or the gold????????

It is very important to me and opinions please
I'll be very grateful for your answers here or in private

This perfume is beautiful. It is definitely floral, as I never get to the wood smell but that is okay. The florals are pretty and mix well together. It is one of those perfumes that my husband always, always, always makes a comment on. On me it will last all day.

Considering it's thought to be one of Avon's best perfums, it was quite a dissappointment for me. my first wip of this perfum was in high school -one of my teachers use to wear it-At that time I thought it smelt great, however on me it doesn't seem to work quite the way I expected it to. Price wise i think it's a good bargin compared to others of it's kind -floral sents that is.

My first time to smell purely floral perfume, and it was a shock, not because it is bad, but I felt alienated from the regular vanilla line that fits my skin. I like to smell it on others, in the air, but I don't think I can get me one again. It is good if you like florals.

And this one too, I don't have this one EITHER!!!
I need to have them all! I am soo in love with this line! Thanks to Sophi I have some Amazing Tomorrow, and Orchidlover gave me some wonderful Avon's too, but this one is still missing in my collection!!
:-(

Initially thought this smelled like lily-of-the-valley at first, then flowers and green leaves generally. No lily note listed, but my mother just walked past me and said "lily-of -the-valley?" so it has a four feet wake at least. She likes it a lot so have just passed it on :)
Quite elegant, becomes slightly creamy?
Notes listed include cactus and strelitzia, neither of which really have a smell to my knowledge. ??

Avon perfumes generally underated. I had a fantastic one called Millenia, which I wish they'd bring back. (out in 2000) Perhaps they could bring it back for 2012 and call it Maya?? Please?

My Favourite from Avon. This perfume smell sophisticated and nice and the lasting power is just okay, 3 hours on my shirt. Suitable for office wear.

All I can smell is tuberose, I've been wearing this for 3 hours almost and it still didn't "evolve". It's not bad, I'm just not a huge fan of tuberose. I wish it was more musky.

EDIT:
I'm using it again today and I have to admit that it seems different from yesterday, I don't know if it's because the weather is very cold.
I can definitely smell the orange blossom too, and after about 5 hours of wearing it has evolved in a powdery delicate musky scent with a touch of cedar.
I'm liking it more!

Actual notes:

TOP: strelitzia, cactus
MIDDLE: strelitzia, hibiscus, orange blossom
BASE: sandalwood, cedar, musk

Today surprised me! I expected something sharp and peppery with the cactus note. Today is luminous, cheerful, and in my perception tropical! I didn't expect the hibiscus ( honeysuckle) accord to come through this much. It's quite a beautiful scent, very flirty, feminine, and it's making me long for summertime! I love the soft floral, musky dry down too. Full bottle worthy in my opinion.

Today also reminds me of the first Kate Spade perfume that I used to love so much) Thanks for the decant JubliantUvula!

unfortunatelly, on my skin smells a bit synthetic, like roses born from a chemical reaction

This one doesnt work with my chemistry. I swear right now I have it on myself for about 4 hours and it hasnt changed a bit from the first moment of applying. On me it smells exactly like the first minutes of Treselle but whilst Treselle changes into beautiful feminine smell, this one stays the same - all I get is a cough sirup.

The biggest masterpiece of all AVON scents.Gorgeous,fresh,feminine and luminous floral scent,and it is not sweet.

flower,flower,flower...can you give more and more flower?HAHA,I am sure you will fall into the ocean of white flowers.

THis is the only perfume that I really like from Avon.Elegant and long lasting,I feel so good when I were this.

I have always loved this perfume, I was in college the first time I smelled this, one of my guy friends sprayed this on our microphone cover at a church choir and i was instantly mesmerized, I loved it from then on. I had been trying to look for this perfume for a long time now but had bad luck, a few days ago my hubby and I was at a local store when this lady showed me a Today by Avon bottle that didn't look like the original one, same cap but longer and leaner bottle, the box said Today but it had the word "Summer". It smells the same so I bought it, it also indicates in the bottle that it's eau de cologne instead of eau de parfum. Has anyone of you heard of this or seen this? I have been searching online but I can't see it this perfume anywhere. But anyway, it smells the same just doesn't lasts long.

Got this today from my Avon lady,on special for £4...bargain! i love it, a very pretty smell,delicious, and I agree with some previous contributors ,that it is Very Estee Lauder!

I bought Today, Tomorrow and Always (3 nice sized testers) on Ebay way back in February and thought the were ok but nothing special and at that time liked tomorrow the best. I have to say that, Today has really started grow one me during this heat wave. It is a very soft femine scent but not so soft that is disappears into the skin. It opens floral and then musky and the musk here is just beautiful it is not over bearing at all. I have never really been a snob about who makes the perfume but I never really considered Avon perfumes since I was a teen and since discovering Givenchy( my favorites) This trilogy has made me rethink that. This is a quality perfume and the bottles are well designed and do not look cheap or out of place with my modest collection. I think Today, Tomorrow and Always is a good starting place for those who are new to Avon's perfumes.

wow, a lot of reviews for this one. Its one of Avon's best fragrances. Perfect for many occassions including office wear, getting together with friends, casual evenings. Its floral, feminine, with pretty decent lasting power but never overpowering. Elegant and classy smelling at a reasonable price. It is a somewhat linear fragrance and for a really exciting evening outing, I personally prefer to wear my more complex fragrances but I do turn to Today for a variety of outings and have more than one bottle and intend using them all. All in all I definitely recommend this, its a lovely smelling perfume.

Today smells like Linden tree and camomile ...lol...i really don't like it !

I don't want to smell like TEA ! lol...

I like Today more than Tomorrow or Always. It smells light and flowery. When I used it, people made compliments to it and asked what fragrance is it. The freesia note smells nice in this fragrance. Later I was tired of this fragrance, but I still consider it nice enough.

Today is very strong and long-lasting fragrance. I usually like pepper notes and this one is no different. It is very sweet but not a girlie-sweet. Pepper along with freesia makes a vey feminine scent. I would wear it on special occations where I can be a real classical lady.
I would say this is a scent of love alongside with elegance and maturity.

Its very feminine and elegant,i always get nice comments about it whenever i wear it.

the bast of the three fragrances.
tomorrow is very oriental for me.
always is very fruity.
this one is very classy and feminine.

i had this one 3 years ago and i remember it was a very pleasant smell the botle is very resistent and the staing power is very good, lasts all day on me. the smell is very rich kind of oriental flowery buy i don't know how to describe this one. but in conclusion worth buing for evening especialy .

I sampled this one yesterday, and fell in love- on me, it is predominantly orange blossom, but there are some slightly medicinal, calamine-ish top notes that brings to mind La Chasse aux Papillons by L'Artisan-maybe it's the honeysuckle-but I prefer today to La Chasse- the staying power is impressive-If you like warm white florals, please try it!

All in all, my new Avon favorite! Thanks again, Vintage!!

i like it... have had the same bottle for a few years now. i have to be "in the mood" to wear this... what that mood is, i don't know - lol

bottle's almost empty now, that should say something. =)

its reminds me somewhat of an Estee Lauder perfume. it is elegant and sophisticated.

It smells like spring- floral, sparkling, bright. Nice fragrance to make these dark and cloudy days more lively.
Edit after year and half-july 2011:It becomes one of my favourites, I adore it, everytime I wear it, it makes me smile.
It reminds me of sunlotion, late-fall vacation in Tunisia last year to where I brought only this gem...

Reminds me of the honeysuckle I used to smell on the fence when I was a kid. I usually don't have much success with Avon but this one is alright. I would not wear this one to special occasions. I would use it like I would a body spray. It certainly was at a price point that I wouldn't feel bad about that. It is more for hanging out around the house or running errands. On me, it lasts and I smell it on my clothes when I am collecting laundry. I would suggest this is a summer scent. All ages could enjoy Today.

I detested the smell in the beginning, like Coppertone sunblock to me with a lot of artificial chemicals mixed with, smells like artificial/ chemically/ plastic like. i keep sniffing it trying to smell the flowers. I just cant... my boyfriend wasn't too impressed with it in the beginning but then changed his mind and said it was quite all right and really nice. I tried it another few times and have changed my mind, its quite grown up and sophisticated.

Creamy,woody floral.Tuberose , freesia and orrange blossom dominates most in it.The creamy essence must be cactus,indeed.It has a perfect sillage and drying down is so amberry-musky.Amazing long-lasting,feminine and elegant chic.Gorgeous but rather an evening perfume.

This is just wonderful, sparkling and bright, very feminine . Guys especially have given me compliments on how good I smell when wearing this( very cute guys at that!)
This turned out to be a sexy scent for me after all then.
Today is just great all around , long lasting too. I 'm thinking its the pepper and cactus that works so well here along with its gorgeous florals.

A favorite.

Um perfume floral único!! Nunca senti um
aroma com esse característica delicada maravilhosa e exclusiva !!

I'm not normally at all interested in white florals, but this is an amazing scent - very classy and elegant, lasts for ages (usually you can still smell it on your clothes the next day), very feminine.

I've heard that it IS going to be discontinued, along with the others in the same range, 'Tomorrow' and 'Always'. I don't understand why Avon do this, it's so frustrating for those of us who love these perfumes.

Upside is that, as usual with soon-to-be-discontinued scents, this one is being reduced in price for the next few campaigns. Grab it while you can girls, you need to stock up now if you love this one.

My last review for this scent was over a year ago (below). Well, to update: This is STILL my most favourite Avon fragrance. I always buy at least one when it's on offer as I'm so worried it'll be discontinued!

Amazing value for money, this white floral smells chic and expensive, and has great lasting power. Perfect for all occasions and any season, it's an unbeatable all-rounder, better than many perfumes more than twice the price.

You will not be dissappointed with your purchase.

Nice recipient, good staying power, good sillage,good price...The only problem I have with this is that, on my skin, it is very linear, I only smell of good ol' sweet jasmin (I can see that jasmin isn't an ingredient, it's weird, probably it's the freesia combined with the others)...Nothing else...I like the scent but I would so much preffer a complex, daring and playful frag...

I agree with some of the comments here. The bottle is very solid and expensive looking. In fact I think I might just put it back on my dressing table shortly although there's not much room. The fragrance is lovely.

If you like classic white florals you willl ike this. i generally do not like them, however this scent is nice fresh floral and inoffensive and I think maybe I should allow myself some time with white florals to see what Im missing out on and if they can grow on me. Well I do like this for what it is, a really well done Avon that competes very well with higher end fragrances based on similar white florals. I have smelt this before: I cant say where or what it was because I would never have normally looked twice at a white floral like this but it is very similar to something alot more expensive that someone I know must wear. The only reason it doesn't get a great rating is because Im just much more into orientals and gourmands and so I have to rate this accordingly, but it's a very nice scent. It's not a sexy perfume in my opinion but would be great for many an occasion.

My very best perfume of all Avon fragrances (and I've had a lot). Expensive, mysterious and hey-man-you -just-can't-pass-me-by! And the bottle looks expensive to me, heavy, solid and very impressing! Superb!

A big surprise. I received 5 sample vials of this together with my purchase of Always EDT.

Today is a non-sweet, elegant and creative interpretation of the tropics after rain. The pepper mixed with white floral notes were more dominant in the first 2 hours together with a fresh, citrusy quality that never quite goes away, it even intensifies towards the drydown.

It smells like a lemony and slightly peachy tuberose about 5 hours after applying it. The scent reminds me of Benghal by Lancome but Today is woodier and more citrusy, Benghal is sweet and ambery. A well-worked blend I love wearing in hot weather. It's dry and slightly bitter with a soft floral background, I love it.

I absolutely adore Today. Having worked for Avon, I have sampled all of their many fragrances and I find this to be the most classic, elegant, and quite simply the best. Today is a beautiful, unoffensive floral scent that is not overly heady but has a definite presence. I love the freesia notes - they remind me of summers in the Hamptons and bike rides in the spring. This scent will appeal to all ages - my mother and I adore it equally. Highly recommended!

Today is the first and best of Avon's trilogy of love fragrances. It's very elegant and feminine and ideal for young and mature women. The opening notes are cogent and evocative of summer. The tuberose, hibiscus, orange blossom and birds of paradise of the middle notes mesh well together like a burst of floral surprise. The musk and cedar adds a pleasant finishing touch. I get alot of creamy floral from the dry down. This is one addictive scent.

This is better than Tomorrow or Always, more striking than the other 2 scents, a lovely daytime fragrance

Wat houd ik van deze parfum. Lijkt wel een Estee Lauder, exotic parfum. Deze ruikt werkelijk heel goed, en blijft zelf langer ruiken dan EL. Echt een aanrader.

Oh what a good parfume, even better in stayingpower than Estee Lauder exotic, this is,imo,a lot similar to this one.
It is creamy and very nice, good work avon!!

Floral muito elegante e ideal pra ser usado em climas amenos !

This scent is so elegant. It smells quite unique. I own a lot of scents and I don't have one with this mix. I absolutely love it. Somehow it works amazing with my body chemistry and smells like pure lovely on my skin. Highly recommend. Absolutely the best Avon scent that I own. Such a relief after scents like Be Tempting and Tahitian whatever!

I agree with Mondeno below that it smells like an Estee Lauder perfume.

It is very flowery, strong scent.
It is not my favourite one, but I like it, as after few hours it is even more deaper and richer smell of flowers...
And it is VERY LONG LASTING...
I was able smell this pefume today few days later on my pulover!!!

Unfortunately I'm not good at picking out notes, particularly in florals. This scent makes me feel unobtrusively lovely, feminine, and sophisticated. Silky and golden, not too airy. It only lasted a few hours on me though. I like it, but don't think it fits my personal style. However, I still think it's a beautiful fragrance.

i when i first bought it i thought it would smell like the other two perfumes tommorow and always but it smells to citrus

I liked this at first, but after a while it started smelling like chemicals to me. I suppose it works on the right person as it is a very nice floral scent, it smells a bit like honeysuckles.

I love it more n more.IT smells like jasmine, then sweet.But my mother doesnt like.She smelled the said:"I cant accept, it makes me feel headache".BUt I & my younger sister like it very much, my sis like it rather than Avon Always.I like both of them.

Its the best of the Avon trilogy and my favorites parfume...

My favorites parfume...

mondeo, you're right. really like some Estee Lauder perfume. specially the intense note from the top the base.

i didn't think that it could last so long. but i can and truly worth every penny. i just sprayed once on my t-shirt then the next 2 days it still released the same smell like at first a little more gentle.

i do love this but not the one for everyday wear, maybe for evening or night out is a great idea,also for intimate occasion.

I LOVE this scent. Probably my favourite from Avon at the moment. Elegant, rich (in a subtle way) with lots of gorgeous white flowers and long lasting power, this always makes me feel that bit more classy - just with one spritz! If you didn't know differently, you could easily guess this is an Estee Lauder creation.

its elegant and nice, and a bit oriental in my oponion more oriental than woody or musky, but not my style really i would only buy this in a sale

So feminie, sweet and elegant. I love it!

i buy this as a gift to my mom. its very classy, refined, femenine and elegant. my mom was surprised and pleased when she smell and now i got my own bottle, it really works with our chemistry and clothes long lasting! everybody stop my mom and i to say please tell me what fragrance r u wearing? its awesome!! the today-tomorrow-always trilogy a best seller.

Today is a beautiful white creamy floral. There is something about this fragrance that brings me back to my childhood. Maybe it's the orange blossom? Sometimes I just spray the air above me and let it fall onto my hair. If I do apply directly to my skin, it lasts all day! In fact I can still smell it the next morning before I shower. Definitely worth the lower end price.

its very elegant and feminine, its the best of the avon trilogy. but its not longlasting. its creamy and floral and light
