Far Away Glamour
by Avon
Far Away Glamour by Avon delivers a rich, velvety fragrance with a bold yet refined profile. It opens with a vibrant, slightly tart blackcurrant accented by a subtle grapefruit and pink pepper, creating a lively initial impression. This evolves into a soft, creamy center defined by Madagascar vanilla, orange blossom, and orris, lending a delicate floral-powdery character. The base settles into a warm, musky embrace with patchouli, black musk, and a hint of woody depth, giving the scent a polished, grown-up elegance. The overall effect is both luxurious and mysterious—more serious than sweet, with a dry, slightly animalic drydown that adds depth. It performs well through the day, especially in cooler seasons, and is particularly well-suited for evening wear during autumn or winter. The scent leans feminine but has enough complexity and dryness to feel mature and confident, making it ideal for sophisticated women seeking a rich, long-lasting fragrance with a quiet drama.
Pros
- +Strong, refined drydown that gives the scent depth and longevity

Cons
