The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1994 by Avon, Far Away was created by perfumers René Morgenthaler and Xavier Renard. This Oriental Floral scent stands out for its complex blend of powdery vanilla and rich florals, anchored by a warm woody base. Far Away is celebrated as an unusually well-regarded mass-market fragrance that challenges the notion that budget perfumes can't rival higher-end offerings. Its longevity and depth have earned it a loyal following over the decades, making it a consistent presence in Avon's catalog long after its launch.
Apply Far Away to pulse points for the best longevity. The fragrance develops fully over an hour, so a light application is recommended. It pairs well with cooler evenings but can be worn year-round due to its balanced warmth.
