Far Away Rebel

To me the strongest notes of currants and salted chocolate are very reminiscent of chocolate covered strawberries. These long scent notes accompanied by creamy liquor, toffee and powdered florals - I get a hint of the original Far Away in the powdered florals, but the blend here is softer and less overwhelming on me. It wears much more impressively than most of Avon's other fragrances; it averages at somewhere between 8 to 9 hours on me. If Lancome's La Vie Est Belle and Viktor & Rolf's Bon Bon had a baby, then that bundle of joy would be named Far Away Rebel; this has quickly become one of my favourite 'everyday' cold-weather perfumes and it is a definite rebuy. A lovely 'come closer' fragrance as it's so warm, comfortable & cozy. I really enjoyed Avon's discontinued Premiere Luxe perfume and this is a fantastic replacement. This seems much more expensive than it is - when Avon has one of their many offers on, you can buy a 50ml bottle for a single figure price!! I hope that Avon keeps this around.

Instant Love . This is a fruity, sweet and gourmand flirty scent . I do not really smell the notes in the normal progression of the fragrance pyramid: I feel a blast of the black currant at first that lingers for quite a while but becomes secondary to the gourmand toffee, whipped cream and dark chocolate notes. This is extremely sweet, so I do not recommend it if you have a low tolerance to sweetness; I am fond of gourmand this type of fragrances but this is almost too sweet for me as well - so I do not wear it multiple days in a row. I think this would shine in cool weather or in the nighttime for a flirty or just fun occasion. Definitely my favourite of the Avon line from the ones I have tried so far, although this is definitely the most different from the original DNA. Performance is my main complaint because I think this is so delicious it should last the entire day, but it is still very decent for what you pay for: longevity of 4-5h and projection within an arm's length. 7/10

What a beauty! Compliment getter through and through! I am not the biggest fan of Avon perfumes. Sure, they all smell nice and pleasant, so they are pretty safe choices as a gift, but the endless parade of simple, generic fruity florals gets boring pretty soon. However, sometimes they do create something special that stands out, and Avon Far Away Rebel is one of those perfumes. I got it this winter for my birthday (no idea how come I didn't review it straight away). It is everything I hoped it would be - sweet caramel balanced with bitter chocolate and fresh fizzy blackcurrant. This blend does not allow Rebel to become immature or generic. While gourmand notes are fairly linear and present until the drydown, the development reveals floral notes. In fact, if you wear it in warmer weather, say spring, the floral notes dominate the perfume. All in all, a wonderful little gem from Avon.

It smells like salted caramel with an added note of slightly sour black currant. I can also detect some white flowers, vanilla, patchouli and ambertonic that elevate this fragrance from something that would smell like a cheap body spray to something very wearable and actually very good smelling. It also has the same vibe as Black Opium. It smells much more expensive than it is and smells like something that would easily come from some luxury brand like YSL, Valentino, etc (not a surprise, though, considering Avon actually hires famous perfumers to make their perfumes) If you let go of any prejudice to this brand that you might have and you also like sweet scents, give it a try. One thing to pinpoint, though - it smells much better if you let it macerate after buying for at least a couple of months

Initially, this smells exactly like those chocolate bonbons that were extremely popular as gifts back when I was little: dark chocolate with fruity liquor filling. I used to hate it when guests brought us those, because I found the filling so bitter as a kid. Needless to say, as an adult with a weakness for gourmand scents, I adore the scent of dark chocolate with booze filling. Once this perfume dries down fully, this reminds me of a much tamer, much more wearable and soft version of Hypnotic Poison, which I personally find super harsh, dry and cloying. Overall, I like this scent a lot. It's gourmand but not super sweet, and not junevile at all. I think it's also suitable for many occasions and settings. I could even see it as an evening scent for a dressier occasion.

First things first, for the price, this is a must. I get the Black Opium or Sound of Donna comparisons, but it's not a dupe. Yes, it's a gourmand-vanilla, but it's its own scent. It lasts about 3-4 hours on my skin, super affordable. It starts really creamy with a not too strong black currant, just enough to make it balanced. Then, the vanilla setlles down and finally we get to the more sweet part, with a noticiable but not obvious chocolate and salted caramel. It is not cloying at all, but still sweet and gourmand. I do not think it's a flowery scent, but it's super nice. I love to layer this with a creamy body lotion.

Fruity gourmand, the lactonic note is pretty intensive from the cream, it smells like a forest fruit milkshake in the beginning. Then the orange blossom comes in, along with sweet notes from the vanilla and the caramel. i actually like the dry down of this. It transformed from a girly teenage accent into something more deep, sweet, patchouli and Amber - y. ....overall, it Is fruity, sweet and gourmand. I like it, i think its is perfect for end of summer and fall.

It's very positive and sweety fragrance. Whipped cream, candy, chocolate... mmm! It's amazingly delicious, but not cloying! Similar to YSL BLack Opium and Trussardi Sound of Donna, but Rebel has its own features. It's very worthy scent by Avon. Longevity and sillage is moderate, but it's a pleasure to reapply it during the day and inhale this yummy scent. The bottle is great as well!

How much I adore this frag! I was looking for smth like that for long. I was affraid of sweetnes but is is very wearable. I smell mostly blackcurrant and cacao with gorgeus aquatic fresh tail. Sillage is very noticable and longevity id very decent. It gathers a lot of compliments, men like it. I feel feminine and sexy and also cozy in Rebel of Avon. Very good job. Cheapie goodie.

Avon makes great perfumes. This one is one of the most beautiful, thick, warm, toffee and cream, a gourmand scent. I love wearing in autumn and winter on a dry day. It’s a bit fruity at first but ends up warm, sweet and creamy in the end. The colour purple really suits this scent. One of my favourites, i tend to prefer this one over some of the designer perfumes I’ve used.

This perfume was an unexpected discovery for me, yet a great one. Avon has some perfumes that last A LOT, and this one is one of them for sure. I wore this scent a lot in fall/winter 2024, and it is such a cool and unique fragrance. Would love to rebuy this one after I finish my bottle. 10/10, no complaints.

An absolute corker from Avon, one of the best fragrances I've tried from them since Treselle. It has a Black Opium vibe going on but I wouldn't call it a dupe, just a vibe. Doesn't last incredibly long on the skin but is cheap enough to keep re-spraying. I much prefer it to the original Far Away.

Love love love!! I just love smelling this..Very beautiful. There is something expensive and pleasant in this perfume. It is kinda lasting for me but after 3 hours the sillage is very soft. I really wish the lasting power was better. Anyway the price is extra good and is worthy. Bravo Avon!

Smells like a cream to be honest smells like a lotion cream doesn't really smell like a fragrance if that make sense lol I smell a creamy toffe chocolate tart and a bit of berries . Very gorgeous smell very gourmand

thank you very much for destroying Fragrantica! New design is just awful! I cant even move my fragrances, i dont know how many of them i have....this is just terrible and am very dissapointed......

Me encantó, huele delicioso me hubiera gustado que tuviera más duración, pero es tan agradable que no me molesta reaplicar, me recordó mucho al purr de Katy Perry,

I do reccomend it lasts , projects and its a gem for the price . Ordered another bottle . It is similar to Black Opium , but it stands on its own .

I adore this. Cheap but smells so exotic. Stays close to the skin but i can smell it 9 hours later. I always have it in my collection.

I simply adore this scent but it lasts 2 hours max on me Can anyone recommend me a long lasting alternative, as similar as it can be?

Sillage: 5/10 Longevity: 6/10 Personal Appeal: 9/10 Wife Appeal: 10/10 Overall: 8.9/10
