Avon says their latest spokesperson is the perfect match for the scent which they say embodies timeless grace, beauty and elegance - and leaves a lasting impression

"We were drawn to her inner and outer beauty, and feel she represents the perfect combination of strength and femininity," said Geralyn Breig, president of Avon North America.

With whiffs of the rare Princess Monaco Rose, "Eternal Magic" is described as an enchanting fragrance for mysterious and alluring women, just like Saldano's alien character Neytiri.

Avon's other celebrity partners include Reese Witherspoon, Salma Hayek, and Fergie. Saldana has appeared in The Terminal, Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and the upcoming Death at a Funeral.

Also, Milani Cosmetics has unveiled a 3D collection inspired by the science fiction blockbuster Avatar to be released into stores of the American CVS pharmacy chain on February 1.
