NOTE: The dates do not reflect reissues under Avon Products Inc....

Footnotes:

1) Reissues: When a fragrance, after having been discontinued, is brought back into production - normally for a short period of time. For example, the American Ideal fragrance had a normal production run from 1907 through 1934, after which the fragrance was reintroduced in 1941, only for a four month period.

2) Dating Difficulties (research continues and the chart will be updated as new information is available):

a) Year of First Issue could not be verified.
b) Year of Last Availability could not be verified or is in dispute.
c) Years of Issue could not be verified - no resources covering the needed timeframe.
 

NOTE: The dates used in this chart come from corroboration with Representative Catalogs, Order Sheets, CPC Bulletins, CPC Outlooks, Avon Outlooks, Customer Brochures, and, in the case the Orange and the Oriental fragrances, from Dorothy Bernard's work as represented in the "Avon 8" Collector's Encyclopedia. The ending date of "Avon" simply means that the discontinuation of that particular fragrance occurred under the Avon label - for further dating of fragrances within the Avon era, see Bud Hastin's Avon Collector's Encyclopedia. Any help that you can provide to further define these dates would be most welcome and greatly appreciated!
