Imari 2015
Bergamot opens cleanly, then steps back to let the floral heart arrive: jasmine and rose on one side, iris on the other, the trio overlapping into something powdery and warm but never sharp.

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly, then steps back to let the floral heart arrive: jasmine and rose on one side, iris on the other, the trio overlapping into something powdery and warm but never sharp. The base — amber, vanilla, patchouli — has the rounded softness of a familiar oriental, neither dense nor dry, sitting just above skin temperature.
Imari 2015 is a 30th-anniversary reformulation of Avon's long-running oriental. It reads warmer and more approachable than the original's reputation suggests. Fall and winter carry it best; it suits evenings and formal occasions without requiring a confident hand. A conservative oriental for someone who values comfort over novelty.
