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 - Far Away Gold Eau de Parfum
A creamy, tropical vanilla powerhouse that divides opinion on its resemblance to the original Far Away. Some find it a softer, more refined sister, while others call it overly sweet and headache-inducing. Master perfumer Calice Becker delivers exceptional bang for your buck.

Season and Occasion Fit

Far Away Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it too overwhelming for office environments. Far Away is better suited for colder weather, nights out, and special occasions where its rich warmth can be appreciated without being stifling.

Far Away Gold Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong longevity and sillage, Far Away Gold is less suited for office wear, where it might overwhelm. It's excellent for dates and formal events due to its rich, sensual character and 'beast mode' performance; for casual wear, apply lightly, especially in warmer weather.
