Which Should You Buy?
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.
SJP NYC is a vibrant, divisive celebrity scent; some adore its jammy strawberry-booze cocktail, others recoil from what they perceive as artificial sweetness and a lack of sophistication. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, so try before you buy.
