A new Far Away perfume? Splendid news [reviewing Far Away Splendoria edp, by Avon]...

 Journey to the unforgettable and experience a modern, brighter twist on Oud, the liquid gold of Middle Eastern perfumery, with our new fragrance Far Away Splendoria. You won't be able to resist!  

Our new Far Away Splendoria is a one-of-a-kind scent. While traditional Oud is considered dark and masculine, we’ve created an exclusive White Oud accord for Far Away Splendoria, giving this rare Middle Eastern ingredient a fresh twist. Just as captivating as traditional Oud, but with a more feminine and sensual edge.

Inspired by the golden lands and hypnotic decadence of Arabian flowers, this fragrance was crafted by a talented trio of perfumers renowned for their Middle East expertise: Nelly Hachem-Ruiz, Nicolas Beaulieu and Julien Rasquinet.

Describing the scent, the perfumers said: “Far Away Splendoria is a perfume of pure luxury and mystery. It’s a mesmerising escape into the splendour of the Middle East landscapes. It is intriguing, sophisticated, and luxurious.”

This edition of Far Away is a gamble for me; I find oud in most perfumes very intense and it can be a migraine trigger, plus gardenia is hit or miss for me too. However the first time that Splendoria appeared in a brochure, it was hailed as   being "the world's first perfume" to use this new 'white oud' accord.

World's first something in beauty, available at a very affordable price = sold...
