Far Away Beyond The Moon
Avonview all“Comfort with just enough sophistication to go out in. One for after dark.”
What it smells like
The story
Imagine standing in a garden at midnight under a full moon, where the air is cool and the flowers only open after the sun has set. This is a surprisingly sophisticated offering from Avon that punches far above its weight class. It moves away from the traditional Far Away DNA, focusing instead on a 'Belle de Nuit' floral accord that feels creamy, mysterious, and a bit celestial. The addition of cherry and vanilla gives it a dark, jammy sweetness that’s grounded by woody and balsamic notes. It’s the olfactory equivalent of a dark blue velvet dress—elegant, a bit dramatic, and perfect for the evening. However, it’s honest about its budget status; while the scent is beautiful, the development isn't as complex as a high-end niche perfume. It stays fairly consistent on the skin, which is fine if you love that specific midnight floral vibe. It’s for the person who wants a bit of evening glamour without the designer price tag. Perfect for a date night or an evening walk when you want to feel a bit more mysterious than usual.
What We Love
- It offers a very sophisticated and 'expensive-smelling' profile for a very accessible price, making high-end evening elegance available to almost everyone's budget.
- The cherry and vanilla notes add a trendy, modern twist to the classic floral base, making it feel current and youthful instead of dated.
- The longevity is surprisingly good for an Avon fragrance, often staying on the skin for six to eight hours with a decent, mysterious sillage.
Worth Knowing
- The opening can be a bit sharp or alcoholic for the first few seconds before the creamy florals and sweet cherry notes start to take over.
- It is definitely a 'night' scent; the heavy florals and balsamic notes might feel a bit too 'much' for a casual morning at the gym.
- The bottle design, while on-brand for the Far Away line, might feel a bit 'dated' or less luxurious compared to the modern aesthetics of other brands.
