Fit for a queen? [reviewing Far Away Royale edp, by Avon]
Embrace your beauty in all its magnificence with the floral, oriental and woody perfume of Far Away Royale Eau de Parfum
I was looking forward to the release of this edp, as the flankers of Far Away that have been released over the last few years have been great - even though one wasn't great, I still like it enough to feel comfortable to continue wearing it until the bottle is used up.
So let's find out where Far Away Royale falls on the scale...

In a land, far away... [reviewing Far Away Glamour edp, by Avon]
Take a walk on the glam side with a perfume to make you feel fabulous
Draw attention with every glamourous journey with a spritz of the magnetic perfume on your pulse points...
Far Away is one of those well-known fragrances that sounds great on paper, but my body chemistry doesn't play well with. I've always wanted to like it - the mum of my childhood BBF sold Avon & gave her a bottle and I wanted to be a perfume wearing grown-up too. However it has always been too strong of a fragrance for migraine-prone me.
However I do enjoy the Far Away flankers, and they don't seem to be migraine triggers for me. After picking up some more of the currently available flankers during some offers a little while ago, I'm ready to dive back into the magic of the Far Away line...

A Godly perfume?!... [Reviewing God is a Woman edp, by Ariana Grande].
"Empowered. Breathtaking. Natural. A breath of fresh air for the senses."
"Ariana Grande’s striking new fragrance, God is a Woman, is inspired by the grand power of nature. A breath of fresh air for the senses and composed of 91% naturally derived ingredients, the fragrance is vegan, clean, and cruelty-free. This addicting, new scent will envelop you from head to toe"
I have a love/hate thing with the Ariana Grande line of perfumes going on, as whilst her actual fragrances can be nice, the longevity & Aura haven't tended been anything to particularly praise.
I didn't even bother to try GIAW as the unappealing name and ugly presentation are very off-putting for me, however I happened to recieve a bottle as a pre- Christmas gift, so here we are with another review for her brand...

Lets lace it up...[reviewing Imari Corset edt, by Avon].

"Celebrate your tempting curves with a spirtz of a chypre, fruity and Oriental fragrance that shows off your sultry side"
I've been searching for a replacement for a discontinued Victoria's Secret perfume [Scandalous] that I used to enjoy, and Imari Corset sounds similar enough to possibly satisfy my longing, so as it's very affordable I decided to pick up a bottle and see what I think. Avon have been impressing me with their fragrances for a while, and I'm hopeful that this will be another hit.
Have they pulled out another success story from their bag of tricks?
