Rare Sapphires

Rare Sapphires by Avon is a distinctive, green-fig infused fragrance that leans into earthy woodiness with cedar and vetiver, while softening into a creamy, fig-leaning base. It opens with a sharp grapefruit note that quickly transitions to a more balanced composition of fig, gardenia, and floral brightness, becoming fresher and more subtle over time. While some find the initial burst of citrus and green fig overwhelming, many appreciate the transformation and the natural, unpolished character of the scent. It presents as an unusually specific and quirky fragrance—distinctly not mainstream—evoking the ambiance of a fig orchard after a summer rain, with a slightly dusty, botanical edge that gives it a fresh, lifted mood. The scent is subtle and well-rounded, suitable for spring and autumn wear, and lasts through the day with moderate to moderate longevity, particularly on sensitive skin profiles. It’s a non-linear, evolving fragrance with shifting accords that many consider unforgettable once the adjustment phase is over.
