Speedy Review: Far Away Sparkle edp, by Avon.

An enchanting fruity gourmand scent that turns any moment into a celebration...

Looking for the best perfume to uplift your spirits this festive season? We’ve got just the thing. Meet our limited edition Far Away Sparkle Eau de Parfum - a fruity gourmand perfume for women that’s got Santa taking notes.

Centered around the decadence of caramelised praline (yeah, we’re salivating too!) that’s crafted to be three times more addictive than the traditional gourmand note - this fragrance is the touch of glamour you need to keep calm and sparkle on.

It also makes the perfect present for the holiday season. #JustSaying

Ahh; we're going to be celebrating Christmas with a beautifully bottled flanker from a reliable line of fragrances - surely we're going to be finishing the year on a strong note now?

Here's hoping 🤞

The lost fantasy [reviewing Pure Fantasy Eau de Parfum Elixir Spray, by Britney Spears]

"Pure Fantasy is a 2025 addition to Britney Spears’ Fantasy line, released to mark the collection’s 20th anniversary" ‐ so says the only official information I found about this release. 

Elizabeth Arden were the original license holders for the Britney Spears perfumes, which was then sold to Revlon. Now it seems that another company [Give Back Beauty] has bought the licence. The fragrance had already been produced and had even been released in a few countries, but it was cancelled anyway. 

I never saw Pure Fantasy in official retailers in the UK in Febuary when it was annonhed, however you can still buy it today on a British beauty site & there are several British eBay stores with Pure Fantasy for sale, so either I just missed it, or stock was already in the process of being shipped internationally to retailers when the licence was sold...
