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 - Ylang in Gold Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a divisive experience. Some will find this a heavenly tropical gourmand, a 'happiness in a bottle' that's creamy, sweet, and comforting. Others will be met with a 'bug spray' or 'cough syrup' opening, a synthetic Ylang that induces nausea, or simply an overwhelming cloying sweetness with little depth. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Also Works:

Formal

Its sweet and gourmand nature, coupled with reports of it being very strong, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its luxurious, tropical, and creamy profile makes it a fantastic choice for dates and casual outings, particularly in warmer weather. It's sophisticated enough for some formal events, but the distinct sweetness might be too much for others.
