@Ihm…interesting you just wrote EXACTLY the same (not honest) blah blah review for Avon Far Avay today AND M by Mariah Carey…you just wants to get rid of your perfumes you dislike!! shame on you!!
fletner – :
Far Away Paradise by Avon is actually one of the perfume I bought when I was still in college somewhere around 2007. Back then, if you have or wear a perfume from Avon it will be really something and my friends were all amazed by this perfume.
My mom’s favorite is the Original Far Away and it has been her signature for years. But now she have switched to more funky yet elegant perfume Naughty Remix Britney Spears.
I can say that mature woman really love that kind of warm, cozy and heavy scent which Far Away & Naughty Remix have some phase of it in common. I like Far Away Original too, but I only enjoyed the drydown the part when the perfume has settled and mild down.
Well for me I love something sweet & fresh. After I received my paycheck worked as a part timer banquet waiter in one of 5 star hotel when I was in college. I was so excited because i tell myself im going to get me Avon perfume.So I drop by in one of Avon outlet shop uptown and start to sniff2.
That’s when I found this and I use till the last spritz of it. I love Far Away but I want to let my mom feel special and unique with her Far Away perfume. So I choose this instead, beside I believe Far Away Paradise is much more better suited for younger audience like me at that time.
I can say that there are resemblance but softer in the background of the original Far Away in this perfume but the peach lends it sparkling fresh sweetness on the top.
Making it smells almost the same like Far Away original but shielded by the peach fresh sweetness. Yesterday night, I went for a movie with friends around 7pm and we’re planning to watch DEAD POOL by Ryan Reynolds. But since it was the first day of the movie and its a sneek peak show so all the schedule are screened late almost midnight and we chooses 11.45pm show.
So while waiting, we all just go around the mall window shopping. Then I saw this Velvet pink perfume box on the display shelves at Avon store. I tell myself “Hey,Mat. It’s one of your favorite when you were still in college, don’t you want to revisit your old favorite perfume ?”.
I step in into the Avon outlet, asking for the Far Away Paradise tester from the SA and leave with a brand new 50ml Far Away Paradise perfume along with the 9ml roller ball Far Away Paradise pocket size perfume.
I re-visited my old time favorite perfume and purchased it. Really glad i did it, now I can recall back my college memories and feel happy to have this back in my collection.
PS : If you love or like only the drydown of Far Away original You all should try this.This has the Original Far Away smells like the drydown part which is my favorite.

I sort of like this. I bought a half used tester at a flea market. It’s pretty nice for Avon. I have quite a bit of Avon, but don’t wear much of it. I can’t quite wear the original Far Away because it just seems to bother me somehow. This flanker is more wearable for me. There are a couple of the flankers I don’t mind, the other one being the one that has chai tea as a note. I don’t have that one yet, but I may end up with it.
For the price I paid for mine, I could even use it for room spray.
Indeteemy – :
This shouldnt be compared to the original far away as it isnt at all similiar to me. Nothing oriental here..
I get the peaches and also a pineapple although its not listed.. The vanilla and amber smoothes it out making it creamy but not really sweet and not heavy at all. It is a fresh fruit with light floral on me. Sillage about 8 inches.
Very good for Avon, they do have a few winners, unfortunately those are the ones they tend to discontinue..
pleneicialo – :
I have a little bit of this perfume left haven’t been wearing it lately but I might need to so I can get rid of it.
I don’t like it all that much. I agree it can get annoying. Bought it in 2008.
Safrik1983 – :
I love this perfume sooo much!! It truly is a fantastic one by Avon :):)
IsakbI4 – :
I love that a little goes a long way with this because the staying power is amazing. It is very unique and exotic.
Edit: Just sprayed some on today and fell in love with it all over again!
diy624bedyWelty – :
Reminds me of Avon Lahana which was available many many years ago, unfortunately it was discontinued. Lahana has stronger and fruitier smell than FA Paradise.
deGaGA – :
This is just divine! If you love far away original,you will love this.It is a bit lighter,similar base with lovely fruity notes. GORGEOUS!
I have a bottle of far away fantasy on the way-not listed on here(blue top),cant wait to try that one 🙂
AntinueFugzen – :
I like this one so much! It’s not too sweet, and very relaxing. Beautiful!
Drogon – :
i love the original but it smells awful on my skin, this one luckily worked with my chemistry, smells wonderful, sexy, strong & surprisingly has many layers; people -especially guys- seem to think that i’m wearing an expensive designer fume when i wear this one, happy it worked with me
vladser – :
very nice think I like this one better than the original
Alex-ice – :
I like this better than the original one. Well, it’s hard to say, at first it give me headache but after dried down it give a very pleasant smell. so for me it’s kind of mixed up whether i love it or hate it!?
all in all Far away Paradise is last quite long and smell too expensive for the Avon perfumes but in cheap packaging.
edit: i think i’ve fall in love with this one, because it cause me no more headache and i love wearing it to bed…ohh i can feel now how it’s called Far Away Paradise.
better to wear in a cold day than hot sunny day through.
glydaykiliary – :
i must say the original is better although this is quite nice. i think that it has an acquired smell to be honest.
FTW my sister calls it ‘bratz’ perfume.
LOL!
Acummacrivach – :
Nice frag. The peony is prominent at least on my skin. It smells more expensive than the average Avon products.
edinopog – :
I remember the first time a good friend of mine gave me a sample of this. It wasn’t as great as I thought it would be. The packaging etc just didn’t save this fragrance. It was a little too sweet to my liking.
asdasd – :
Again, as with the original, way too much amber, which I hate mostly.
But I loved the other 3, rose, peach & peony together.
Too strong for me.
Shekkayamma – :
Interesting fragrance. Initially the top note of peach is dominant, but after the dry-down I really enjoy the peony, and finally lingering later in the day, a nice vanilla scent – but not too sweet.
поврелкогнп – :
this fragrance is very unique and fruity more then floral but it’s too cheap for my taste so i gave it away
Pava – :
My mother and I used to wear this all the time. Great fragrance!
vedmak – :
I think it can only be used on the coldest days of winter, otherwise it makes sick. (but it’s Paradise version is more light and could be used more comfortable)
kobopet – :
Full of peach so i like it very much, romantic but not long lasting
MadeinRUSSIA58region – :
It’s so fresh but not too fond of it.
Amiros7830 – :
i’m waiting its arrival because here in egypt it will be avilable next month so i will try it but if it smells like the original so i think i will never like it 🙁
lorri – :
I was expecting to love this and I really wanted to, but it smells of fermenting peaches!!!
The bottle’s pretty but that’s the only positive comment I can make.
Lasts quite well. Good if you like it. Bad if you don’t and I definitely DON’T.
desert10464 – :
My all time fave. I fell in love with it!
