About This Perfume
Avon Candid smells like powdery floral bouquet with jasmine and soft woods. It opens with bergamot and jasmine, moves into tuberose and ylang-ylang and settles on patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This cologne is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days and date nights. Released in 1977.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and powdery for casual days.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.

Most-Discussed Avon Perfumes
Haiku, Sweet Honesty and Far Away are the Avon perfumes people bring up most across the communities Scendira follows.
What to expect from the picks
For Haiku (2000), think fresh pear and yuzu over clean floral musk, starting with Japanese yuzu and pear before musk, sandalwood and tonka bean take over. Sweet Honesty (1973) smells like sweet floral perfume, honeyed vanilla cream, opening on aldehydes and drying down to musk, benzoin and sandalwood. Think peach blossom with creamy, powdery vanilla musk with Far Away (Eau de Parfum, 1994); peach and freesia up top and vanilla, musk and amber underneath.
