Avon Perfumes As the world’s largest manufacturer of exquisite perfumes, Avon offers affordable scents with upscale packaging so that all women can enjoy the Avon fragrance experience. Originally known as The California Perfume Company, Avon began its fragrance legacy in 1886 when it introduced Little Dot Perfumes. Since then, blockbuster icons like Little Black Dress, Far Away, Sweet Honesty, Rare Gold and Imari have been legendary among our customers. In 2004, Avon launched its first prestige fragrance trilogy Today, Tomorrow, Always, supported by Avon spokeswoman Salma Hayek. Avon’s prestige fragrance collection is well suited for the customer who is willing to spend more on her fragrance. Avon also manufactures fragrances for men. In 2006, Avon launched Derek Jeter Driven its new fragrance by baseball star Derek Jeter. Other popular fragrances for men include Blue Rush, Black Suede and Wild Country. Several of Avon fragrances for both men and women extend to a line of ancillary products such as body creams and lotions.
