I will freely admit that I bought this years ago based on the bottle alone as it stood out in stark contrast from all the other Avon perfumes in the catalog I had gotten my hands on at the time.
I kept it for years and wore it from time to time but could just never really fully enjoy it. I didn’t love it or hate it, it was just kind of a “there” fragrance for me and turned rather powdery after a couple hours of wearing.
I gave it to my sister about a month ago when she spied it on a shelf in my closet and asked me if she could try it, knowing full well if it wasn’t on display on my visible perfume shelving in my bedroom that I wasn’t using it. I handed it over and she’s fallen in love with it. It also smells wonderful on her, proving that what does not work for one, may work perfectly for another! I was happy that it went to a new home and will be appreciated.
ImmomoSticki38921 – :
Wow, this could be a Guerlain. Honestly, it reminds me of Mon Guerlain and Insolence mixed together. Fruity, smokey vanilla floral with orchid and musk in supporting roles. Vanilla front and center. Plum a close second.
Azamat – :
Avon really outdid themselves with this one, I am usually more or less underwhelmed by a lot of their newer perfumes but I love this one. My bottle is nearly empty and it’s an older one so I hope they haven’t changed it. It has really great sillage and longevity. I love how it’s almost like a deeper and more mature version of BBW Twilight Woods, which I often layer with this one when I don’t want to choke everyone but want to give it a little boost at the end of the day if I’m going out again. Beautiful fragrance and great quality for the price. Men seem to really like it too. I spray it under my hair where the base of my neck meets the top of my back and it projects perfectly, gently to about arms length. My grandma loves and wears the original Imari and while it smells heavenly on her, it’s a hot mess on me and I just don’t think I’m yet old enough to pull it off. On me it almost seems borderline absurd in contrast to how elegant and confident my grandma is, but Imari Seduction is perfect for someone who appreciates the original but doesn’t feel that it suits them all that well. This one is a bit more playful and very different from the original Imari, but still serious and sensual.

My best friend and neighbor at the time was wearing this one day and I was like OMG, what IS that perfume?!?!?! She said, I dunno, let me show you the bottle, LOL! It was this gorgeous purple bottle and smelled SO good.
I thought it might be too strong or offensive for me to wear (up til then I had only been wearing light fruity florals) but it’s not offensive at all. I actually wore it to work a couple of weeks ago and was complimented on it (rarely happens)!
This is a yummy plummy deep and definitely seductive scent. It is one of my favorites and I hope to always have this in my collection.
P.S. The one in the newer bottle does NOT smell the same.
I have the original from 2007 and one from 2017.
muhamadali – :
I owned a miniature of this that I eventually gave away. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I didn’t use or love it as much as my other frags. Imari Seduction is a little sweet and deep for the typical hot weather of my country, so I reserved this for cooler days or evenings. I find it a seductive scent indeed, not really for my everyday use.
I’m no expert in distinguishing notes, but was even less when I owned it, but I realize now it must be the plum that stood out for me and distinguishes this fragrance. Rich, fruity, and darkly sweet, it lingers into an orchid and vanilla mix. Delicious for such a cheap perfume, but not something I’d reach for again.
defffo – :
it is seductive. the dominant note which is the plum is just like in d&g the one lace edition or the original version. the performance is good for it’s cheap price. can last up to 6-8 hours. the sillage is about arms length. best use during night time and cold weather. not suitable for younger crowds. i would say this is best for women in their late 20s and above.
DISIL – :
I had this on a rollerball few years ago, but as far as i can remember; it’s sweet (but not too obviously sugary, syrupy sweet), a liiiittle bit floral and musky, very feminine
7/10
scrsnseabrook83 – :
piuttosto semplice, invero, ma gradevole. è un accordo basato su prugna e orchidea che si assesta su una base di vaniglia e ambra. io ci sento anche un pizzico di patchouli. senza pretese, senza grande complessità, dignitoso e buono, per i miei gusti.
boltzxxbnm – :
I love this scent! it isnt sexy or formal..just smells soo good..edible. I dont get musk at all..just plummy, orchid, vanilla yummyness. But yes..it is hard to place where one might choose to wear this.
NooKi44 – :
Like it alot. Will wear this on the weekend to run errands, because it doesn’t last long.
Margulis – :
Not bad, I can see why people would like this. It is hypnotic in its blend and its musk and amber and flowery. Very feminine, seductive, and mature in sexuality, I’d say. I can’t think of an occasion where I’d personally wear this, it is not an easy “every-day scent” or casual scent. It is very powerful in projection. I see a mature woman wearing this (I’m 16 so mature being any age older than me). Or, yes, a very confident woman. I am not unconfident but this is definitely powerful and a little head-ache inducing for me. If I could get past the nose aches I get from sniffing this, the scent itself would be very pretty, nice and much better than others I’ve tried. I think it’s much too strong for me, a very heady, and somewhat heavy almost cloying flower smell. (Just personally) As always if you find this beautiful and fitting for yourself power to you I can see where there may be a market for this.
Also, I think someone mentioned wearing this to school for teens and I would definitely disagree. If someone wore this to school I would be utterly confused. It’s not a little girls scent but its not exclusively an older person scent either. It’s sexy, and dark and definitely fits a certain type of adult scent. I couldn’t really see this in the daytime but if it’s your everyday style, girl, (or boy), you rock it!
(P.S. This is definitely composed differently to other designer scents I’ve smelled. It’s quite pleasant, for some reason I can’t see anyone being severely opposed or insulted by the actual SCENT of the fragrance. It is a pleasant nice scent that doesn’t really define anyone. Floral so if you like that stuff go for it! The only thing I think people MIGHT possibly be insulted by is if you overdose on it and get stuck in an elevator with someone.)
EmepleEmpibia – :
TOO STRONG!!
this is like musk, on top of musk, on TOP OF MUSK. I got it through Avon when I purchased Haiku (great scent, very Alfred Sung smelling) but this one, although better by far than the original Imari (The red one, yuck) this one if diluted and 2-3 hours later it’s tolerable, but this is like right up there with the Dior Midnights, something your grandmother would wear, a little too pungent and overly musky.
Marimusy – :
First, I’d like to say this is quite a pleasant scent. It’s dark, mysterious, and sweet. Plum and orchid are the perfect complement to the sweet vanilla. It sort of reminds me of Very Irresistible L’Intense by Givenchy.
Despite the fact that I just love the scent – the only problem is that there is little to no sillage. I could only faintly detect it about six inches away from my hand (where I sprayed it), and no further. What a bummer! I’ve read other people raving about the sillage/longevity of Imari Seduction, so perhaps it’s just me/my skin. I will say that if the scent interests you at all, you should check it out for the price!
zzzz964 – :
Not fond of this one at all! Loved the Imari Satin they had a few years back,I still have some samples of it. That is the only imari one I have liked at all. It is not even on this site for reviews?! Why not? Does anyone remember it? I adore it.
Soydaymof – :
Plum and vanilla. I like this better than the original Imari. The original has a loud and persistant personality. Imari Seduction is more of a preferred sweeter auntie with confident personality.
One spray on me
Sillage: arm’s length
Longevity: 2 or more hours
Rating: 2/5
prokoffev – :
Bought this based on the notes. All the things I like and none I find offensive. Many scents give me a nasty headache so I am always on the lookout for something that will smell really nice but not overpowering.
I read many of the reviews before making a purchase and I have to say I am disappointed. When I first sprayed it on, I got a whiff of sweetness then… it smells like an old ladies perfume to me. Cloying. I can smell none of the fruity notes and what I smell is Rose, even though it isn’t listed. I detest anything Rose scented.
It also gave me a headache from repeated checking to see what the drydown would be like. Not really bad, but not great either. Kind of amber and powdery to me. I don’t smell the plum at all. Moderate Sillage and I don’t know about the Longevity because I washed it off after an hour when it never got any better for me.
acidMJK – :
A wonderful, beautiful, sweet scent. I can see how it smells oriental, but its more fruity for me. I’m still a fan of it, but I prefer Elixir.
iryna777 – :
such a deep, super sexy scent. i absolutely love this perfume. it’s plum for days. yum!
ten5544 – :
Good grief this smelled good when I tested it yesterday! It’s plummy and warm, sweet and rich with amber in the dry down. This is so good! This lasts for hours and the silage is about arm’s length. It’s so good I had to rush down to the drugstore and purchase it and the original Imari this morning!
SneykAce – :
A great perfume to wear anywhere. Safe enough for the office, but interesting and sexy enough to go out.
hans – :
Imari Seduction is a safe, cozy scent suitable for cool office days or evenings. It lasts an insanely long time, with good sillage. I could not even wash the scent away with vigorous scrubbing. I would recommend this perfume for those experienced with perfume styles and the art of perfume wearing, but not for newbies, since it is so very potent.
sanja71 – :
this is almost nice but it just seems to evaporate on my skin as fast as 3 minutes and its completely gone. why? imari mystique is way better than this one but unfortunately its discontinued. i wish this lasted for hours just like most of fellow fragranticans.
sypuk2000 – :
Just got a bottle of this amazing frag n must say i am quite impressed! Very lovely n yet indeed i get the Channel Madmoiselle n Gucci Gucci comparisons! Gotta love that n at such a great price, can’t beat it! Do get the plumy sweetness which is not over the top, very classic beauty.
The Imari collection is a must hoard!! Can’t get enuf!!!
fee539elipseskism – :
This is seductively sweet, bold, and exotic fragrance. Although this was intended to be linear, the notes play each other up really well to highlight a particular quality contributing to the composition’s overall character. The amber & vanilla keeps the plum, which is the most dominant note remaining intensive from opening until dry down, from getting too “fruity” sweet. I also love the hint of exoticism that the orchid note evokes. And there is something that might not be listed here which anchors the whole composition perfectly. It is a bit dry, woody, POTPOURRI like which gives this potion that ORIENTAL vibe. While it has a bit of similarity with Coco Mademoiselle, I definitely prefer Imari Seduction over Coco Mademoiselle because I don’t get that rancid & nauseating note Coco Mademoiselle has. An expensive smelling perfume for a fraction of a price. Longevity is pretty good for an eau de toillete with up to 6 hours on my skin. Sillage is also good within arms length. It’s another KEEPER from Avon. Highly recommended…
ivanhohlov.don – :
This is a sexy plummy , vanilla. I find it rich, sweet and the epitome of purple smells. I love it. I think the longevity is actually decent too
A minimum of 6 hours on me. It isn’t one of those loud perfumes though. Arms length is about it.
Love, love , love it . I think it is great for cooler weather.
I can’t for the life of me see how this is comparable to Fantasy.
eddy – :
I have to say, I really was pleasantly surprised by this scent. I wasn’t expecting to like it- I almost never like “sensual” scents. But this really is quite nice. The notes are hard to pin down, but there are some fruity notes and some darker amber-type notes. They mix well, and I found this to be very wearable. I can definitely see the similarities to Fantasy, which I have purchased and enjoy. I didn’t find the longevity on this to be very good, and I probably won’t personally buy it again, because I prefer Fantasy, but it is overall a nice, workable scent.
GorceFleerm – :
patchouli e prugna! ottimo!
Register – :
This is a thick blanket of seductive, yet comforting purpleness. To me, there is no top note, no dry down, it’s a one liner that doesn’t need more complexity than that, as I can’t seem to get tired of it.
I don’t smell a note that pops out more than the others, it’s all blended to perfection.
I’d suggest to spray lightly, and on colder days. It can quickly become overwhelming- so people that easily get headaches should be careful with that one. That juice is potent. Sillage is very noticeable, and longevity… wow. To put it simply, it will smell untill you scrub it off. At least that’s my experience; I had it for way over 24 hours once and had to rub rub rub for it to go away. Which is impressive for any perfume, but even more for one with a price like that!
olga-kitapova – :
Most complimented top 3…….I like it personally….but I still find it overpowering and it gives me a headache at times, but it is due to it’s SILLIAGE and longevity which ironically is a very good thing too. Maybe other strong souls can handle this better then my weakling self.
I believe it’s the orchid that does this and it does not have my typical “feel good” notes but yet….I like it. Maybe it’s the plum and the amber…and the compliments. They are like stiletto heels….uncomfortable yet amazing. Also like a rebellious teenage daughter….you can’t stand her sometimes, but you love her anyway. (I haven’t been a mom to teenager yet by the way…but it seems like it)
I just have to use it when I feel fresh, not stuffy.
It’s easily on my top 5 most complimented perfumes ever and it does have a beautiful, elegant, scent reminiscent of more expensive ones like Narciso Rodriguez…and yes, you can easily tell someone it is Narciso Rodriguez as the quality is that good.
m412ij – :
From the description, this sounded like something I should like, because I love plum, amber, musk, and vanilla. While there was a warm fruitiness that was pleasant, overall, it smells cheap to me.
usetadent – :
those who knew the complete notes pls. list them here tnx so much in advance.
jms240elipseskism – :
This is a very sweet plummy vanilla floral on me.
I get some kind of spice in the background as well. Over all this is very pretty, but far to fruity sweet for me and not enough floral. It is very strong and lasts all day. My daughter loves this, so it is hers now. I will keep the skin softener for myself though, I liked it better than the fragrance itself.
I wish Imari blossom was listed – I love that one.
valentinooo – :
Luckily I did not purchase this perfume blind, because I did not like it after wearing it from some samples. There was something stale and nauseating in the scent that I can’t pinpoint. It made me think of perfume from 1985 that’s gone off. Imari Blossom is much more my style, and smells wonderful on me.
orskweb – :
I have this perfume…I only got a few drops left in the bottle and I be glad when its empty…The scent is ok just not something I would be willing to spend money on again.
Olga2011 – :
The ‘snobby’ perfumista in me really didn’t want to like this…and was almost looking forward to leaving a terrible review hahaha.
But alas, that isn’t the case. I have a sample of this and decided to try it this morning. 4 hours later, the smell is still lingering.
I definitely agree with other reviewers about this being reminiscent of Euphoria, however the plum notes are much sweeter with this…which I actually enjoy. I’ve had a couple of bottles of Euphoria and honestly, next time, I’d probably purchase Imari Seduction instead. It’s more complex and doesn’t smell like typical Avon to me.
The longevity of this has surprised me more than anything else…and unlike the original Imari, I would feel confident wearing this pretty much anywhere.
Simpson411509 – :
Generally I buy up anything with prominent amber, but I gave this scent a try a few years ago and it has been my all-time favorite ever since. I always get compliments when I wear it and the smell of it makes me feel confident and happy.
alexlat – :
I like this perfume. Perfect mixture of everything and deff sexy
Alexey197923 – :
I’ve been wearing this perfume since it first came out. I originally bought it without knowing how it smelled, because the notes intrigued me. Avon had a sale on, buy two perfumes for the price of one. I already had Haiku in my cart (another Avon favorite), and I decided to give this scent a try. I fell in love with this georgeous scent, that smells very “purple” to me. The bottle matches this scent very well. I love the smell of plum & orchid, and I also get the warmth of the vanilla & amber, & just enough musk to make this scent stick around on my skin longer than most Avon scents. I have a large wardrobe of perfumes, so I normally do not repurchase a scent unless it draws me in, and this scent has done just that! Luckily I haven’t had to repurchase this one, because my friend got me another bottle for Christmas, but when my bottle gets low, I will be sure to get another. I personally don’t like the original Imari, and I have yet to try Imari Mystique, but I definitely plan on it.
dimanski1977 – :
I am really surprised by Imari Seduction, I thought it would be too sweet and heavy but it’s just right.
I don’t normally love sweet scents, but this is nice and gentle. A little plum, a little amber, a hint of musk and just the right amount of sweet. I had a purse-sized bottle that I used in the Fall/Winter months and I soon realized how much I liked it when it was empty.
Time to re-order.
kalenin11 – :
This is one of two Avon scents that I like. I am not sure ‘seduction’ suits it, but it is nice. The vanilla notes do not overwhelm this scent, or smell like pee on my skin as vanilla generally does. It is pretty and feminine, but not too strong. There is something casual about this scent, I generally wear this when I am going out in track pants and a tee. It is not complicated, excessively sweet, or strong. The scent stays close to my skin.
Dbrnjhbz – :
I’m only 16. At first I thought this perfume was a little too old for me, but after it settled into my skin it was more young and fruity. I love the sweet smells in it. It does not project very much, but I like the feeling of knowing that only my significant other will smell the special scent.
Slolleply – :
I am a Scorpio and we are naturally mysterious by nature and when I want to feel mysterious and a little bit sexy, I spray this. It got a dark smells to it.
Bestposternews – :
of all of my avon perfumes, this one is by far my all time favorite. i absolutly love it.. its so sweet and musky.. im not good at describing perfumes.. but this perfume is hands down my top ‘go-to’ perfume! AMAZING
alimi – :
Imari Seduction is strong with the initial spray, but the drydown is divine. The base of this is plum and creamy vanilla, yummy! The mid notes are slightly bitter and powdery, but the base makes it all worth it. My hope is that reviewers understand that this is in fact an eau de toilette and doesn’t have the strength or the longevity many eau de parfumes have. You will have to refresh this fragrance but layering does help. I consider this far better than the original Imari because I can’t get past the aldehydes in that one. I recommend this to oriental lovers who enjoy the plum and vanilla combination in a slighly sophisticated manner. Give this a try, with the matching layering products of course.
_virus_ – :
This perfume smells like a dreamy mix of plums and baby powder to me. I don’t really smell the vanilla, but the baby powder gives the same sweet affect. I like this perfume, because it doesn’t have a strong scent. It does when you first put it on, but then it sinks into that perfect “smell it when they’re next to you or walking past you” power.
Anelyncfeeday – :
blindbought this one as the seller offered combined shipping on ebay-not at all disappointed.love it.it makes me feel lost in a world where orchids rule.truly a sensuous experience.good for nighttime.and not expensive.well done avon.

Very noble, rich, calm, clearly on the evening. Orchid felt from the beginning to the end, but there is definitely more music.

Hello Friends Scented
This smells like vanilla and some fruit for my dark purple plum is hot and perfect sweet to feel comfortable when it rains or it’s cold I like a lot.
пастухова – :
I thought I would like this better than I did. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t stand out enough for me to purchase it. It’s very plummy and sweet, but I smelled 90% plum, so it was just too one-dimensional for me. I have John Varvatos parfum, which is loaded with plum, but JV is extremely rich and complex compared to this. I also didn’t get any orchid whatsoever, and that was the one note I was really hoping would come out on my skin. I love orchid! Oh well.
moneyhodman – :
If that Euhphoria-like scent remained on me for more than an hour, my like would turn into love but unfortunately, it hardly projects anymore and after an hour, it smells like a fruity soap left on my skin. The notes themselves are wonderful but my skin need those notes to be amped up it seems. All in all , a very likeable scent if you are looking for a Euphoria-like sent sation!
voindark – :
This does remind me of Euphoria, but, it smells more like Baby Phat’s Fabulosity. Fabulosity and Imari Seduction have nearly all the same notes. Especially, both have that sweet and dry plum note as the predominant.
SaTaNa-666 – :
I have been wearing this all day trying to like it. I smell plum, vanilla and musk . I just don’t care for it at all. I am just not an oriental kind of girl.
Imari Seduction has no lasting power at all. Within an hour you can barely smell it at all.
dwf781 – :
Not masculine at all. Sweet plum deep fruity. Love this. I saw the reviews saying this is similar to C.K Euphoria and yes, they are definitely kissing cousins… of the same plummy, orchid, musk lineage.
After I fell in hard love with Estee Lauder’s Sensuous Noir, I started trying to figure out what note it was that had me so hooked, and it really is the orchid… I went up and found “Orchid” in the notes section of this website and I swear I own the first 10 frags that show up. I had no idea the orchid was the common denominator and is what draws me.
So there. go check out the Orchid note, see what scents are listed, and you may find yourself as someone also drawn to this note.
For 5 bucks on ebay I also got the deodorant, powder and body lotion. I applied all of them after showering, then sprayed on the perfume (pretty liberally) and it lasted a good 5-6 hours which, for Avon, is waaaay above average longevity I’m sure. So, for less than 20 bucks (2 trips to Starbucks), I’d say this was as good a deal as any out there. Especially when I hate paying full price for the C.K. Euphoria. And for those of you who can’t plunk down the cash for CK, I’d say you will be happy to purchase this in the interim.
Nope, nothing masculine about this at all. Orchid and plummy at the top, orchid and vanilla musk during the dry down…very pretty lightly sweet powdery sensual plum at the end. Love it.
Edit: I have found this also to be a “Kissin’ Cousin” of BBW’s Dark Kiss. I put on the Avon I.S. lotion, powder and deodorant, then spritz some BBW D.K body mist, and voila! I smell awesome today!
rod76 – :
VERY MASCULINE . Nothing feminine about it at all to. me. At least I did not have to spend a small fortune to find out .
konfetka20 – :
A weaker version of CK Euphoria, perhaps, but when you can get (frequently on special) a scented deodorant, body powder, shower gel, body lotion and EDP all for around $14.99 you can spray & layer to your hearts content and you will smell fabulous for a long time. This is a complex scent and it is NOTHING like the original Imari which in my opinion (and my grandmother loved the original which smelled divine on her!, sorry Grammy!…). It is warm, rich, fruity and sensual. I can’t wait to get mine in the mail. I am also looking forward to trying the Imari Mystique which I have heard is divine with its’ beguiling honey note. Besitos! xo
vti – :
One of my very first perfumes. Imari seduction is like a weak version of Calvin Klein’s Euphoria but it’s still lovely. I can definitely detect the orchid, plum, and amber in this. Lovely but weak, and the longevity is about 3-4 hours for me which is pretty decent, although I have to press my nose deeply into my wrist in order to smell the scent so I doubt anyone around me can smell it which is totally fine with me since I feel slightly embarrassed when people around me start sniffing around and asking “Do you smell that?” every five seconds. This perfume (or eau de toilette that I have) isn’t my absolute favorite, but I still find it a good nighttime pretty scent, perfect for nighttime dates 🙂
Stg44 – :
I bought this one recently because it was readily available with my Avon representative. Its very dilute in concentration but the smell is evolving, complex and multi-faceted like a tiny little diamond. It reminds me of certain other popular scents like Angel, Euphoria, Black XS but only sad part about Imari Seduction is that its a very watered down version of a good scent. I have to get very close to my wrist to detect any scent at all. Or maybe others can smell it better than myself while its on me, I don’t know. But what can one expect from a scent that’s so inexpensive ? And although its dilute, the overall composition is good. Its sweet and fruity and somewhat masculine, but that only adds slightly more strength of character to the scent. Its sweet, fruity-floral, deep, a bit dark, somewhat sexy. But need to re-apply. The bottle is so compact, I can easily slip it somewhere in my handbag. Not bad.
ilya311298 – :
Right when i smelt this i thought i would get used to it.
it has a smell thats stings your nose way to much plum!
i cant smell vanilla just a spicy plum…
not for people 30 n younger
iMwer – :
For me the original Imari Seduction just didn’t work with my chemistry but this one is perfect. It does keep reminding me of Calvin Klein’s Euphoria which is one of my favorites. That plum and orchid is an awesome match.
segabotty – :
My mom has the regular lotion and when she would wear it it would smell like a lovely spicy, floral plum. So i decided to get both the perfume and the body butter. Unfortunately, with my body chemistry it smells too musky. I still pick up the spicy plummy scent but it can be a bit overbearing the first 15 minutes you have it on. I still do like it but i have to be in the mood to wear.
Lasting power : 3-5 hours
Sillage: 2 hours
Overall: 7/10
popcust – :
Really soft, plush creamy plums. I really need to layer all of the products, or I cannot smell it as much as I like to. When thoroughly layered, is very nice.
Very subtle & very sexy. Like a creamy, soft CK’s Euphoria.
silent thunder – :
I decided to try Imari Seduction when I saw it on sale in the avon brochure…glad I did, my husband loves this scent on me. Got this in a three piece set that was under $15.00…15ml EDT purse spray,150ml perfumed skin softener & shimmering body powder.I really like oriental-woody scents, this one is fruity-oriental…not usually something I wear…but I really do like it! Wish it came in EDP though…I’ll be ordering the 50ml bottle,shower gel & body lotion.The Avon fragrance I like best is Imari Mystique… a beautiful woody/oriental.Not usually a fan of Avon…but,I think they are getting better.

Plum Heaven! to:Anorton1965
You are ever so right! It reminds me ever so much of Lolita Lempika in a very understated way. The sparkly, warm and elegantly fruity scent will indeed be layered with my beloved L.L since the basic notes are in accord. It begins with rich plums and spices, wraps me up in a velvety aroma i find comforting for Wintertime and especially xmas time (imho ) . The vanilla is a warm one- not a scream in your face synthetic syrupy one. The amber and musk are very faint though during drydown. My only disapointment is that it is so faint and short-lasting on me ( I need strong and potent fragrances for them to agree with my chemistry). I love the sensual aura of this fragrance which is awesome for day or night and leaves a clean, slightly soapy sillage on me. All in all, an 8 for a skin fragrance from avon xxxx

vazgen1111 – :
I’ve bought John Varvatos lately and I can definitely see the similarity, as Mad-Lainey pointed out.
It has less sillage though, and it’s somewhat “less thick” on me than J.V.
J.V smells like a sweet liqueur, probably because of the honey+fruits combo, while I.S. is gentler,and somewhat muskier.
55DVA – :
i bought the smaller bottle. if you don’t like girly smells, this is the perfect scent for you. it smells kind of like a mens perfume. i myself didn’t like it. i say it’s a scent for a more mature lady, say between ages of 28 plus.

Imari is a beautiful combination of plum, orchid and warm amber.
I agree that it shares certain similarities with Coco Mademoiselle.
It also strongly reminds me of John Varvatos signature.
It makes a perfect winter and autumn fragrance; it is rich, sexy and enveloping.
The opening is definitely oriental but after 15 minutes it becomes chypre fruity and stays that way for the next 3 hours.
Considering it is only an eau de toilette, it has a decent staying power, about 5 hours.
The silage is gentle but I do get lovely whiffs for the first 3 hours.
Imari is a great fragrance for a confident and sexy woman.
The bottle cap is tacky.
Overall, 9/10.
Well done, Mr Fremont.

Yesterday I wore Imari Seduction and perhaps the weather(humid and rainy) was the reason and my chemistry but I really smelt Coco Mademoiselle on me…so it would be nice if I like Coco Mademoiselle but unfortunately I really hate it.:( So I just wanted wash it off .
Otherwise Imari Seduction is a nice scent, perfectly good if you looking for something similar and cheaper alternative of Coco Mademoiselle.
Maybe just my skin chemistry played with me yesterday but I’m afraid that case was the last chance for this fragrance..:(

The original comes off to masculine on me. Seduction is quite the opposite, much more feminine with the plum vanilla mix!

This fragrance is deceiving. It opens on my skin quite strong with a sharp sultry floral. The dry down is a beautiful soft vanilla musky fruity scent. It’s not overpowering, just a wonderful fruity/oriental alternative to the usual floral/oriental. Um…oh yeah…and it’s easy on the purse strings!

I love it! Warm and elegant, it doesn’t smell “old lady” on my skin at all.
Even if I haven’t smelled T
