Far Away Bali Eau de Parfum Review

Since 1886, Avon has produced & sold fragrances for women. Founder, David H. McConnell, quickly realized that his female customers as a travelling book salesman loved his perfume samples he would give. Since then, with the ability of customers being able to try & sample a variety of scents in the comfort of their home, Avon has produced many top selling perfumes such as Sweet Honesty, Imari and more.

My Final Thoughts

I am not the biggest fragrance person, however, I do enjoy having one or two scents that I will use depending on the season. In the fall & winter months, I tend to utilize warm, floral fragrances while in the spring & summer I typically will use fresh, fruity scents.

Each year, Avon launches a new Limited Edition Far Away fragrance for the summer. Last year I ended up receiving their summer scent, Far Away Amalfi Eau de Pafrum for FREE. I actually really liked the scent…. so much so that I ended up purchasing one on my own. I recently finished up my last one that I had just in time for the launch of this year’s summer scent, Bali Eau de Parfum. I figured since I liked last years and based on how this year’s fragrance was described, I figured I’d give it a try.

Just as expected, the packaging was similar which I really liked. Looks nice on my dresser. I especially love the color and overall marketing campaign around the fragrance. I even liked how the box it came in looked. As usual, the pump spray was easy to use and the product sprayed evenly & nicely onto the skin making it super easy to apply. I really enjoy that it is a scent that I can get away wearing during the day as well as night, though I am not much of going out at night. I can still see myself wearing this out to dinner or on a date.

Yes, the scents I typically gravitate towards are fruity and floral scents. However, for me, the Bali Eau de Parfum is more of a citrus, musk scent… not my preference, especially the musk notes. I tend to stay away from most fragrances with musky notes. I will admit that I have come to enjoy fragrances that had musky notes, but they blended well with the other scents where it didn’t give that musky type of atmosphere.

Now you may be thinking I do not like this fragrance and you are sort of right. Let’s just say this is not a fragrance I will repurchase, but it’s a fragrance that I can wear, which I plan on doing for the spring & summer months. However, I will be picking up another spring & summer fragrance because I am still on the hunt for my go to scent.

UPDATE: I ended up finishing the fragrance and to my surprise by that time I came to really enjoy this fragrance, so much so, that I repurchased it when it was launched again for spring & summer of 2023. This has become my go to everyday scent this spring. Though it does have musk, the primary scents I get are the floral notes which makes it perfect for spring.
