Far Away Aloha
by Avon
Far Away Aloha presents a soft, summery character with a bright initial burst of mandarin orange that quickly transitions into a creamy, white floral heart dominated by tiare flower. The scent leans heavily on a clean, soft musk that some describe as resembling laundry drying in the sun, while others find it chemically synthetic or overly dominant—particularly when it lacks the rich sandalwood or creamy depth found in the original Far Away. The fragrance is generally perceived as light, subtle, and unobtrusive, making it ideal for daytime wear in warm weather, especially for beach or vacation settings. Despite decent longevity for an Avon fragrance—reaching up to 7+ hours—its sillage remains moderate to strong, with some users reporting the musk as overwhelming. The overall impression is one of a charming, easygoing scent that captures tropical freshness with simplicity, though its musk note can detract for sensitive noses.
