Far Away Gold

I blind bought this a couple of years ago based on reviews and my overall appreciation for what I believe are highly-underrated Avon perfumes. This is everything it promised to be and more. I've since smelled the original Far Away (I know I tried it years ago, but I had no memory of what it was like). The two are very similar, but Gold is just a touch more opulent and warm. This, to me, is a winter tropical scent. Not that you can't wear it in the summer, or any other time. I'm in Haiti and it's probably 90-degrees (as it is every day), and I'm wearing this today. But it could be a bit much for close quarters in the heat. I also wouldn't recommend it for work or places where you'll be in close proximity with people because it's a powerhouse! That being said, this fragrance absolutely needs more love. I have been testing a lot of high-end niche scents lately, and I can 100% say, this scent compares in quality and performance to any of those. I sincerely believe that its only downfall is the name "Avon" since people have (unfair) negative ideas of the house. If it was in a Guerlain bottle, everyone would be going nuts for it! The lovely thing about this scent is that is is very well blended. I sometimes struggle with peach notes. But in here, that is so much a part of the overall composition, it doesn't really bother me. The scent goes on with a blast of floral, primarily Ylang-Ylang. Within about 20 minutes, the warm depth of the vanilla and amber will come out, and about an hour after that, I really start to get the sandalwood. I don't get much of the other notes, but it does seem they are there, simply because the opulence of this scent requires a bit more complexity than those four notes I mentioned. Overall, this is a fantastic bargain scent and one that I highly recommend for those who love heady, sweet, warm, tropical, florals.

I got my first memory of Avon's Far Away when I was a little girl back in the 90s. I loved sniffing the FA patches in catalogues from my mother's Avon rep friends. Something about the scent was very comforting. A few weeks ago, I purchased a purse concentre of FA to remind myself of the scent. It was different from many fragrances available on the market today. Yes, it smelled "mature" to me because of my memory of it from more than 20 years ago. I guess anything that reminds us of the past will seem "dated". I'd be a full-bloomed adult woman not too long from now. I waited and contemplated - to buy or not to buy a full bottle, and if I do, which version of FA I should go for. I finally decided to purchase FA Gold. And boy, am I not disappointed. I have always wanted something more sophisticated than many popular scents that are bursting with citrusy top notes these days, yet the drydowns are unpleasant to me or simply non-existent. Something comforting with smooth powderiness. Vanilla-laden but not gourmandise. Sweet but not migraine-inducing. No obvious muskiness. Does not become cloying when the temperature rises (I live in a tropical country). This is it. I'm so glad I gave FA Gold a chance.

It's one of Avon's better fragrances, potentially the best. I't is a slight nod to original far away but only slight. The ingredients are the same but in gold they are of the highest quality and the most exclusive which makes a huge difference. You can smell the difference in quality right away. It is longer lasting than the typical Avon fragrance and it is the best Avon Calice Becker fragrance. Wait for it to dry down before you judge it. The dry down is beautiful. Gorgeous vanilla, subtle spices, seductive jasmine. The scent is different than Michael Kors but it has the same weight/heaviness to it. The demo price in the US is $16 and campaign 20 is starting shortly so reach out to your reps now to put in your order. This is limited edition. I think it's a safe blind buy if you like vanilla oriental fragrances. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and will like it the longer you have it on. It is perfect for the cooler months. .

I just got my bottle of Far Away Gold a couple of days ago and have been using it as the temperatures are steadily climbing. I thought it would be more of an autumn/winter scent but find it is quite suitable for summer evening as well as cooler daytime wear. I have owned the original Far Away (which I had to give away as it was too strong for me in summer and didn't like it as much for winter wear) and I still have a bottle of Far Away Dreams (which is a lovely little flanker that is softer and more wearable for me than the original). So, FA Gold is my third try of this collection and I must say that I like it. I get a coconut/chocolate (ever so lightly)/exotic vibe which is quite yummy and makes it a more playful/casual/cozy/comfy scent for low-key occasions. I usually have a hard time with Avon fragrances but FA Dreams and Gold are the only two so far that I don't mind wearing for casual everyday wear.

Oh my goodness, Far Away Gold EDP is what i call the perfect modern flanker of a classic perfume. A creamy floriental fragrance, resembling really good the original Far away with the exotic notes of ylang ylang and what i think is a double concentration of a creamy vanilla note, but with a modern touch, making it less “powdery” & intrusive. I grew up smelling the original FA, the best selling fragrance of Avon and FA Gold is a keeper, i think this is also a good choice for those people, who doesn’t tolerate the original one, Gold is like a smothered, kind of a more soft but strongly enough, to be noticed in a lovely cozy & comforting way. This one is perfect for fall/winter or those cold days, summer nightime, a fragrance to love&hug. Longevity & projection is pretty good, just remember a little goes a long way! Good job Avon.

THIS FRAGRANCE IS MAKING THE GUYS GO CRAZYYY!! The amount of compliments I’m getting is unbelievable. This was my first time ordering from Avon I was sceptical about it. But do you know what, this was the best £14 I’ve ever spent. I am getting more compliments on this fragrance than I’ve gotten on my pricer perfume. Everyone loves it. Smell& Longevity: The fragrance smells like a woody, white&yellow floral vanilla pudding. It’s strong & long lasting yet not in bam 💥! In your face. It’s feminine, sophisticated yet sexy. Conclusion: This fragrance is guaranteed to get your compliments. give this fragrance to try as iit’s pretty affordable it makes a good everyday fragrance to so why not give it a go. Compliments: 10/10 Price: 10/10 Smell:9/10 Longevity: 7.5/10

This scent is really nice, I really really enjoy it. It's similar to it's older sister Far Away, but it's a little more vanilla and less heavy white florals. Don't get me wrong, some people might mistake one for the other if they weren't familiar with the Far Away perfume and its flankers. I find it to be just as beautiful and powdery and sweet but it's missing a few of the Far Away nuances that set it apart. This perfume is just darling in the spring time but it also holds up well in the heat. I can really see this as a cold weather perfume too because of the cozy vanilla and powdery essence. It's classy and well put together, like we all wish we could be. Edit: this perfume smells so much like marshmallows on my skin! I love the powdery vanilla in this.

Well, this is a lovely surprise. I have not even liked many AVON perfumes (Im an ex-AVON lady!) but this one is impressive. Long lasting and with a decent sillage. It smells so decadent. Well done AVON. Lots of sweet creamy vanilla and amber that is given a bit of edge with the ylang ylang. I smell jasmine and coconut all the way through but thankfully the coconut is low key. I can also pick up some of the citrus but vanilla is most definitely dominant. I much prefer this to the original Far Away. I dont think it smells like a vanilla candle and I have many fragrant candles of various makes. I love it so much that I bought a back up bottle in case its discontinued!

This is my first Avon from the "far away" collection so i'm not biased and i never smelled the original one. This is really a lighter version of Casmir Chopard. Casmir is one of my two signature fragrances so i was shocked when i tried Far Away Gold the first time. But after a few minutes you can smell some differences: It's less heavier and the sillage isn't as huge as Casmir. Also Far away Gold is a lot more creamy and less oriental than Casmir and a tiny bit more tropical- i really think if you are big lover of Casmir like i am, you will be very happy with this for the summer time.

A wonderful representative of Far Away line. This is too much vanilla in a good way. This fragrance is suitable for any time of the year, including summer when it's sweet, but not cloying. This is my favorite scent from Far Away line. Gold is more evening fragrance - it is a vanilla mono-scent, but it is very beautiful and attractive for dating especially. Longevity is excellent, I can smell it on clothes the most part of the day. I've been using it for a long time, and when someone mentions fragrances with vanilla notes, Far Away Gold always comes to the mind first.

Far Away Gold is my first Avon fragrance and I'm thoroughly impressed. This is so smooth and velvety! Bold but not brash, and luxurious in both scent and performance. The bottle is compact but heavy and sturdy. The fragrance is comforting and beautiful, like slipping into the plushest of holiday robes: relaxed to the point of glowing after a perfect evening. Creamy vanilla and rich ylang, smooth sandalwood and a hint of white flowers. Along comes that powdery velvet that wraps it all up in a golden bow. Outstanding.

I am lucky that I could buy this as I am in the UK. I am not a far of Fan Away original at all, but I love Gold! Its creamy and sensual, the amber gives it the touch I love and takes it away from being sickly. I am wearing it today, cool and rainy summer day and it is just perfect to lift my mood. I can see why people class this as a winter and night scent, but I think it would be perfectly wearable on a warm summer night. P.S. My bottle didn't have the gold charm :(

I feel like a woman! This is creamy and rich,and it gives me the feeling of coziness and loveliness.I keep sniffing and I like it each time.. It has defintely vanilla but it is not sweet!! oh i love that because that gourmand cany shop sweetness blast is not my thing. I consider this Far Away Gold a classy and golden scent,. Too bad that it is not longlasting.

I tested 4 fragrances: this, EnJoy by Jean Patou, Hypnose Senses, and John Varvatos. Avon Far Away Gold was one of the first 2 I applied. I waited about 30 minutes before applying the other two. It has now been an hour and a half and this one is the only one that still has some gumption. The rest are quieted down to close skin scents. Go Avon!

Love it!!! Vanilla and Tropical but not for summer. Nice and warm for chilly winter days and nights. This is one that sits in a lovely cloud around you I can smell it on myself all day long. I have a coworker/friend who hates it so I can't wear it to work or around her. I can see how this would upset the scent sensitive but I totally LOVE IT!

Another one by my favourite perfumer Calice Becker . Common Avon far away DNA vanilla , musk and sandalwood base. This one is beast mode , very long lasting . It is discontinued I believe but mine has macerated quite well with age and I love it . It’s not for those who don’t live grandma perfumes . I do ! They are huge compliment getters .

Un floral oriental maravilloso...se abre con una fuerte rafaga de ylang-ylang,estabilizandose en un confortable jazmin cremoso,que reposa sobre una base de delicada vainilla.Su duracion y proyeccion son majestuosas,eso si,es para mujeres muy seguras de si mismas...prohibido para jovencitas timidas e inseguras.

Got this and original far away I kept this one and gave original to my daughter. This perfume smells sooooooo good and idk how to describe but I absolutely love this one I wouldnt wear in the summer because its more of a fall winter but I def want a few more bottles of this one.

Recently repurchased this.. same 50ml size.. Why is the box a lot bigger now? I've compared it to my old one n the increase is quite marked. Considering packaging should mostly be downsizing re the environment n wastage, plus sheer cost of the extra, isn't this a bit stupid?

I am not a fan of original Far Away but this one I really like it!Its similar to original but more soft and wearable version,I was quite suprised.Perfect for autumn and winter and really long lasting on my skin.
