by Avon
Unforgettable by Avon is a bold, vintage chypre with a powerful leather and mossy core, delivering a dramatic and opulent opening that feels simultaneously refined and animalic. The fragrance carries an earthy, worn-leather intensity, underpinned by oakmoss, labdanum, and patchouli, creating a deep, skin-like sillage that lingers past the first hour. Over time, it softens into a more balanced, slightly powdery floral musk with a hint of carnation and amber, offering a sophisticated transition from bold to wearable. Many describe it as 'unapologetic' and 'classy,' drawing comparisons to Miss Balmain, Cabochard, and classic Guerlain scents, with some appreciating its duality—giving the impression of a feminine but assertive woman in vintage attire, akin to a 'Cat Woman' with a sharp sense of style. The scent performs best when applied more generously or used in perfume oil form, where its rich texture and depth shine. It’s noted for its longevity in long and very long categories, though one user found the roll-on version too close to the skin. Despite some finding the initial dry-down to resemble soapy or medicinal tones (like Safeguard soap), it is praised for its ability to evolve gracefully and deliver a complex, luxurious experience that resonates with fans of vintage leather chypres. Its versatile wear in autumn and winter, along with night-time preference, suits those seeking something dramatic and memorable.
