Far Away Infinity

Far Away Infinity gives the impression of a fruity candied jasmine, what with all the vanilla, jasmine, gardenia, and orange blossom. It's an absolutely sweet and fetching scent, reminding me, almost, of tropical fruity bubble gum, but still on just this side of "perfume-y"/floral versus leaning gourmand. It's sweet, playful, and fun and very, very pretty. So far, I've tried the OG Far Away and Far Away Gold (which very much resemble each other, though I definitely prefer the thicker richness of FA Gold over the original), but Far Away Infinity is 100% my favorite. LOVE it!!! Edit: I was initially going to store FA Infinity with my jasmine scents but, after wearing it to bed last night, it dawned on me that it's more of a gardenia scent. Oftentimes, gardenia smells like candy, to me. Also, in trying to figure out what on earth it's reminiscent of -- that I own -- I sniffed some jasmines, orange blossoms, some tuberoses and gardenias, and then spritzed on Britney Spears Curious, a light magnolia/pear scent. FA Infinity doesn't have the same notes as Curious, for sure -- so doesn't really smell *like* it -- but it definitely shares that combo of candied vanilla flowers and, somehow, the intensity of it is the same. It also made me want to pull out my Byredo Sundazed sample to experience that lovely (cotton) candied neroli and citruses though, again, it will in no way smell "the same"... When my bottle of Elie Saab Le Parfum in White came, I realized how much it smells like Far Away Infinity!

Jasmine - Vanilla warm oriental clasiness. This is my favourite take on the Far Away line. Gorgeous, sofisticated, elegant, vibrant, powerful, sweet floriental. The fragrance a sexy & classy woman wears. Not so sharp as the original, I find it more easy to pull off but mind you this is still powerful. More suited for winter and autum, but still wearable on spring and even summer (though I would defintely save it for night time). Aproppiate for work at an office, but I find it too sofisticated for an every day use.. I would save it for meeting with special clients, job interviews, etc. Sexy enough for a romantic date, classy enough for a fancy restaurant. Not a fragrance for a teeen. This suits best a woman, makes you feel a woman, no matter if you just turned 25 or if you are 60.. you will surely feel more womanly, femenine, classy and powerful. What ́s more, I would even wear this to a wedding ! It ́s that good to me! I do have others that perform better, but if you don ́t I ́d say you ́re good to go with this one already... Bottle: looks pretty and feels luxurious, it ́s a 10 for me. Sillage: stunning! Monster sillage during the first cuople of hours, then continues at least at arms lengh. Longevity: 10 hours I ́d say.. this is an Eau de Toilette, you can ́t get better for the price !! This lasts and projects way better than other Jasmine designer fragrances, such as J ́adore by Dior. Highly recommended, will definitely repurchase when I run out of this gem !

This is my favorite fragrance from the Far Away collection. I wasn’t surprised to see that the perfumer was Honorine Blanc, as she balances gourmand and floral notes beautifully. The opening is soft and comforting, with gardenia and marigold creating a sweet, soapy effect. Then comes my favorite part of the fragrance: orange blossom and jasmine begin to shine over a light vanilla base, giving the composition a creamy and luminous character. It reminds me of fragrances such as Prada Paradoxe and Issey Miyake Lumiere D’Issey, but with a creamier take on orange blossom and a more prominent vanilla base. To be honest, I prefer Far Away Infinity because of its creamier floral character, the way the orange blossom never overwhelms the other notes, and the overall balance of the composition. I would even say it is better constructed than many fragrances in the same style. Its balanced nature also makes it suitable for year-round wear, although I enjoy it most in spring. I only wish Avon had kept the original bottle design. The older bottles looked much more classic and elegant. When the tassels disappeared from the caps, I had a feeling the bottle redesign would be next. As much as I love the scent, I use my current bottle sparingly because I have no desire to buy the new version. Its projection and longevity are also better than those of many far more expensive fragrances.

Well, you've read my previous review. I thought it was all that needed to be said. But no... How many times a year am I reminded that fragrance can 'grow' on a person? What catches me more by surprise, however, is when a good fragrance morphs into a great one, the change being either perception or weather! And in this case, probably a bit of both. Yes, I gave Far Away Infinity a wearing more than once, and each time it came off as sugar-cube sweet and therefore somewhat imbalanced on my skin. BUT. Now the weather is cooler and the days more arid. Presto - somehow I'm also smelling a lot more of the dry down, whether courtesy of spraying more or not spraying where the hand sani 'erases' what's applied, I don't know. WOW is there a difference. Still very sweet, very jasmine, but lightly balsamic. In addition on dry down my happy nose now smells: Powder, Vanilla, and slightly tangy Marigold!!! Bless, you Avon. You've done it again. Not only is this a good modern flanker of Far Away as previously noted, this is a good perfume, PERIOD. Not to mention I got a complement directly after spraying. ;) Now, hours later it's a soft, cozy, powdery dream. And an expensive smelling one at that. Five Stars <3

This is beautiful. It's been a while since I did a review, but since this is new, I know how much I depend on reviews so I wanted to put something out there. It was a blind buy based on the fact that I love Exotic and Gold, and it was successful. For around $10, this is a powerhouse! One spray is going strong nearly 5 hours later! It is the white florals that dominate this, but there is a presence of the citrus, sandalwood, and vanilla that really bring this together into something that is classy and mature. It's hot, and this smells great! I also imagine it would be great in the winter or in the spring. It's quite the classy summery scent that would work super well with a sundress and sandals, but it can be cozy as well. I can honestly see the comparisons to both Alien and Olympea. It's not a dupe for either, but it has a similar vibe to both and is comparable in quality IMHO. I think this is a very good summer scent! I still think I want to get Gold and Exotic, however, since they are very different scents from this.
