Far Away Aurora
by Avon
Far Away Aurora presents a sweet, powdery gourmand with a strong synthetic backbone, rooted deeply in the DNA of the original Far Away. The opening features a sharp, spicy lemon and cardamom that quickly turns into a distinct, slightly sour yogurt note—often described as uncomfortable or nauseating by some users, though others find it pleasantly creamy and milky. The heart unfolds with a soft, floral vanilla accord, echoing the signature powdered, 'synthetic baby powder' feel of the original Far Away, but without the overwhelming musk. It evolves into a warm, vanilla-tinged base with a faint cedar and vetiver backbone, lending a surprising drydown that some users find overly sweet or intense. The fragrance has impressive longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it noticeable even in intimate spaces.
