Far Away (1995)
by Avon

The name of this stuff is prophetic, in that I stay far away from anyone wearing it. Who knew yer basic generic Asian-style fragrance could be made so harsh and clumsy?

Strange fragrance initially herbal-fruity-medicinal-barbershop kind and furthermore a bit aromatic-dusty, floral and vanillic but with an undertone of almond, DDT, violet and peach. The link of coconut, violet, ylang-ylang, peach and orange develops in a powdery-almond sort of smell with an after taste that reminds the apricots, very talky, floral but pungent. The smell since the beginning is dissonant and the final powdery development doesn't stop at all the dissonance and the high level of bitterness, sourness and pungency.

I spent all evening smelling this on friend and begged her to tell me what it was (she couldn't remember the name). I then spritzed twice from her bottle onto my skin and got this: sweet, boozy top notes, like bathing in fermenting grapes; a sweet oriental with boozy fruit and something leathery in the heart, which is what originally caught my attention; the dry-down is a bit sad, all vanilla and little originality. I'm undecided as to whether I'd rather smell this on myself or on someone else. Projection is certainly very impressive. A yummy little scent.
