Far Away
by Avon
Far Away is a rich, deeply sweet floral oriental with a distinctively powdery base, built around vanilla, coconut, and sandalwood. It unfolds as a warm, creamy, and slightly heavier scent that leans into a soft, gourmand-oriental character. The initial burst carries a faintly synthetic, talc-like sweetness with peach and ylang-ylang, followed by a soft floral heart of freesia, jasmine, and gardenia. The core develops into a warm, rounded vanilla-coconut base with subtle woody sandalwood and subtle musky depth, creating an enveloping, cozy aura. While it can feel strong and overwhelmingly sweet on some skin, the scent is well-balanced and bears a comforting, nostalgic warmth that makes it feel almost intimate. It's marketed as a classic Avon scent with remarkable value, so its effect is heavily dependent on personal preference and application method.
