Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Far Away Eau de Parfum

Divisive yet iconic, Far Away is a potent vanilla-peach punch that evokes nostalgia for some and sends others running for the hills. Love it or hate it, its longevity can't be denied - a classic Avon beast, even if reformulations sting for some long-time fans.

Our Verdict - Purr Eau de Parfum

Katy Perry's Purr is a divisive one. Many find it a delightful, nostalgic fruity-floral, whilst others deem it a synthetic mess. It's a celebrity scent, so expect playful simplicity and a bottle designed to grab attention.
