Foxfire
by Avon
Foxfire by Avon is a bright, green-tinged floral fragrance with prominent hyacinth, jasmine, and rose notes, delivering a clean, soapy, and slightly powdery character. The scent opens with a sharp, almost rubbery green freshness that softens into a dry, elegant, and subtly spicy floral base. While the initial impression can be intense and somewhat linear, the dry down is noted as refined, evocative, and pleasantly understated. It's not for those seeking bold or sweet scents, but rather for those drawn to the nostalgic, mature Avon aesthetic of the 1970s and 1980s—especially fans of green floral perfumes with a classic, understated elegance. Many describe it as reminiscent of a grandmother, a vintage Avon moment, or a time when modesty and freshness were cherished in perfumery.
