Topaze Avon for women

I managed to find a nearly-new little pot of Avon cream perfume at a bargain price. A small amount on the wrist took me right back to the late 60s early 1970s. It smells EXACTLY as it used to: sweet, fresh, and very, very fragrant. Superb lasting power. Somehow, the cream (or even solid) version of Topaze always smelt superior to the spray version because, when sprayed, the aldehydes would be upfront and evaporate very quickly leaving behind a very soapy trail.
However, with the cream or solid, that creamy white petal effect is much more prominent.
How I wish Topaze could be manufactured again. The few vintage bottles and tubs doing the international shipping rounds will soon run out. (sigh!)

Topaze was opulent and bold. It sold for about $1.99 a bottle in the 1960s. Avon changed the way women purchased fragrance-for themselves! Door to door sales ladies would bring samples of these inexpensive and lavishly produced classics. They caught on in every town and city in America. They were more recognized than expensive French rivals.

I remember visiting mothers(mine included) coming to school wearing Topaze, Bird of Paradise, and Heres My Heart, Persian Wood and Occur! Indeed, Avon was the American beauty house.

Topaze is a lot like Joy, yet sweeter and more complex. Oh yes much cheaper too! Its water down version was finally removed from the market in 2000. There are still a few bottle on the web here and there of the original classic. Look for the tall gold bottle with the faux jewel on top.

I would love to have it again -- if I can find it! I first sampled it as a teenager in 1968 or so, and it was from a small pot of "solid" perfume. A little dab on the wrist scented the entire room. Where can I find it? Do Avon still do it?

i always loved this perfume. sometimes i think avon's much older scents are better than the new. this is spicy yet powdery with hints of soft citrus. floral hues shine through also. loved the bottle with the topaz on top and the long yellow bottle with the same faux topaz. one of my all time favorites.

This perfume had an awesome violet bottle back in the 90s and I used to adore it. But as a kid, it was too much and unapproachable for me. Then, Avon stopped producing it. They obviously didn't care that I lived with the hope of using this perfume when I get older :D

I have a small sample bottle of Topaze and still it smells divine. A self-confident, classy, sophisticated, chic woman walks into a high-ceilinged, white ballroom; dressed in a simple yet striking gown, smiling serenely... That's the image Topaze form in my mind. I love it!

I have to get me some I love this perfume since I was a very little girl,It reminds me of my mother sitting on her lap snuggling I LOVE IT!!!!

I wiould love to have it. my mother wear it, all the time. the best.

I'm the Guy who LOVES to wear this Avon Classic, Topaze Eau de Cologne. It's so, so special to me, classy and yes, it works just perfect with my chemistry. I love it, it loves me, and I think Male or Female, wear whatever Fragrance you wish too, why? Because, Fragrances Have NO GENDER!! Fragrances are special, wear them, no matter who'm their made for, it's a Fragrance, and extension of who you are, an everlasting aura. So, enjoy it, and so will others...

Topaz has been one of the very first perfumes that i love. My mum use to have it in a long yellow bottle, beautiful, frantically enough i was in Rarotonga couple of years back and there, i found it in one of the local shops...very sentimental reasons

The topaze I have is ten years old.Bought it from a avon sales representative then.To this day it smells very nice.I keep it in the box away from sun light.I very rarely use it but on rare occasions I dose my self with this floral aldehyde.Simply a classic no matter what price.

eu acho o cheiro desse perfume horrível!!
Me lembra um pouco o Channel nº5, tem um cheiro ultrapassado e sufocante, deve ser por causa da nota do civette que é bem notável, odeio cheiros animalísticos e
o pior é que onde moro os mais idosos amam essa fragrância.

I love this perfume. Even thought its an inexpensive oldie, it smells very classy.

Oh, I love this. My grandma had this on her dresser in a little cream jar w/a topaz jewel on top. So clean smelling. She let us put it on our wrists before church. :) Reminds me of safeguard soap, much nicer though.

Este perfume é podre, lembra um pouco o Chanel nº 5, nossa eu passo mal com alguém perto dele, tem um cheiro animalesco horrível ainda bem que a versão original saiu de linha aqui no Brasil.

In Spanish..
Quisiera saber como comprar un frasco de ese delicioso perfume.. que tiene una combinacion perfecta. Lo recuerdo desde 1959..

Discontinued in America now, I do remember my mom had this when I was a child in a body cream. The little jar was so cute w/ a little topaz jewel on the lid. I remember the jasmine, fruity-ness, and rich sandalwood. Would love to smell this again.

i am amazed to discover that this perfume still exists. had a small bottle of it for christmas when i was eleven. it was the most beautiful present i had ever had. this lovely little bottle with a gold top. if i was to smell it again i would be standing in semi darkness next to the lighted christmas tree with dr. w, a younger friend of my father, the first real grown-up man i ever liked, who gave me a christmas hug and said something nice i can't quite remember. but remember feeling very special. surprise, what is it- a floral aldehyde!! think this tiny bottle influenced my perfume tastes for life. i'm a chanel 5 girl, also love arpege and madame rochas
