Avon Alpha cologne is a woody men's fragrance launched by the American beauty brand Avon in 2013. This versatile light cologne combines classic tonic top notes of verbena, lemon and juniper with fresh spices over a brandy-spiked cedar base.
Avon Alpha opens with bright and refreshing top notes of lemon and verbena. Juniper adds a classic tonic quality that deepens into green spice middle notes of cardamom, basil and nutmeg. A strong note of brandy adds color to the woody cedar base.
Avon Alpha smells like mixing a fresh summer cocktail with lemon peel, green leaves and other bright and herbaceous ingredients. This cologne is breezy, pleasant and refreshing while retaining classic masculine notes of juniper, herbs and cedar.
Avon Alpha is an everyday men's cologne ideal for daily wear and the office. It is an eau de toilette, which typically contains 10-15% perfume oils in an alcohol base. This is a lower concentration of oils than an eau de perfume and gives a light, breezy quality to the scent.
Avon's Alpha's fresh aromatic notes make it a perfect spring and summer fragrance.
Avon Alpha is a casual cologne designed for easy everyday wear. Its woody and fresh character is pleasant and never overpowering, so it is ideal for the office. Avon Alpha is also a good choice for a daytime date or event.
Avon Alpha is marketed toward men, but it is an excellent unisex fragrance. Its fresh and woody notes flatter any wearer, and Avon Alpha is not a heavy or leathery cologne that leans strongly masculine.
For the best possible longevity, hit all pulse points when applying Avon Alpha. The backs of the ears, the sides of the neck, the inner elbows and the wrists are all warmer places on the skin that help retain fragrance. As Avon Alpha is a light and fresh eau de toilette, there is little risk of overapplying.
Avon Alpha has a lower concentration of fragrance oils and no heavy scent notes. One application lasts between two and four hours depending on environmental conditions and individual skin chemistry. You may need to reapply Avon Alpha to make it last through a typical workday.
