Sonnet

Sonnet is a vintage Avon fragrance with a distinctive, mature character that unfolds over time. It opens with a noticeable black pepper note, creating an unexpected spark, before settling into a rich blend of powdery florals, carnation, and soft woody notes. The scent evolves into a skin-hugging, spiced floral that feels both nostalgic and unique—reminiscent of mid-century elegance, with chypre-like depth and subtle aldehydic shimmer. The perfume has a quiet sillage, best noticed on the skin and in close proximity, and it lingers through the day, with some experiencing lasting traces into the next morning. It’s especially suited to autumn wear, though its pleasant softness allows for daytime use. Overall, it offers an intimate, personal experience—ideal for those who appreciate vintage perfumes that feel timeless rather than trendy.
