Far Away Soleil
by Avon
Far Away Soleil is a bright, effervescent citrus floral with a soft, powdery warmth. It opens with a sharp, slightly medicinal tangerine note that many find initially unappealing, but this fades quickly into a delicate balance of orange blossom, honeyed amber, and a subtle sweet powderiness. The scent evolves into a light, airy cloud of citrus-kissed floral softness, evoking sunny days and warm coastal breezes. It's described as spring and summer-focused, with a fragrance profile reminiscent of both Ralph Lauren Woman and Annick Goutal Eau du Ciel—delicate, whimsical, and luminous. Longevity is modest, with most reports noting it fades within a few hours; sillage is light to moderate, making it intimate and unobtrusive. The overall impression is one of soft charm and summery freshness, ideal for warm weather, casual outings, or when a subtle, tender fragrance is desired.
