Amazon users adore 'nostalgic' £15 perfume that 'everyone always asks about'
by Rachel Williams, https://www.facebook.com/rachelwilliamsdailyrecord/ · Daily RecordChoosing the right perfume can often be difficult, with an overwhelming amount of different options on offer these days.
However, sometimes it can be comforting to revisit an old classic that you wore in your youth. For example, many Amazon users are fondly reminiscing on Avon's Far Away Eau de Parfum they have been "addicted" to for the last 30 years.
This distinctively floral and amber perfume has been impressing fragrance buffs since it first launched in 1994. Despite a 50ml bottle costing just £15.80 on Amazon, reviews say that it smells "expensive" and "better" than its budget price-tag suggests.

Avon's Far Away EDP is described as the brand's "bestselling" perfume and its fresh scent is ideal for those looking for something they can wear everyday. Its scent boasts 190 jasmine petals that give it that "special" touch compared to others on the market.
The "dreamy" fragrance is further deepened with the likes of freesia, peaches, orange flower, Madagascan vanilla, amber and sandalwood. Its staying power has also been praised, with some reviews suggesting that it "lasted longer" than designer perfumes.
Currently averaging a 4.6 rating based on 5,685 reviews, Far Away is currently the highest rated Avon fragrance on Amazon, with praise for its "nostalgic" scent that shoppers are currently rushing out to buy again.
A happy customer said: "This perfume smells SO GOOD. Back in the day that's all my family purchased was this. It's old school and saw it on Amazon, and decided to order it. I love this stuff! I don't care how old it is or when it came out lol, it smells good!"
Beauty deal of the week
We might still have two weeks until Black Friday officially arrives, but that hasn't stopped Amazon from offering up a range of early deals.
For the haircare fans among us, the online behemoth has dropped prices across a range of ghd branded tools. This includes an incredible 32 percent discount on the professional Air Hair Dryer - making it the cheapest we have spotted it.
If you're looking to get "salon perfect" hair without having to pay expensive prices, this is the dryer you need. Said to provide "faster drying from root to tip", it can help you get smooth, sleek locks in a short amount of time.
Retailing at a whopping £139, Amazon users can get it for just £94.99. This beats both the ghd website and Lookfantastic, where the exact same hair dryer is on offer for £109 and £108.40 respectively.
Using ionic technology, this 2100W powered dryer can "reduce frizz on all hair types". It uses a concentrator nozzle, variable power and temperature controls that allow you to tailor the blow dry to your hair type.
Meanwhile, there's also a cool shot button that allows you to set your style in place, with users saying it "stays all day". Its ergonomic design ensures that it is easy to use, while also being lightweight enough to be taken on your travels.
Amazon users have rated the ghd Air an incredible 4.7 stars, with 5,570 five-star reviews from beauty buffs who say that it gives them "salon perfect hair" from home within just "minutes."
One positive review read: "I have very fine hair which is difficult to style. This hairdryer gives me a salon look and the bounce stays in all day. Previously my hair would look good for a few hours and then go flat and lifeless. It really is amazing the difference this dryer has made. Wish I had bought one years ago."

A second five-star review read: "This smells and looks exactly like it did in the 90s. So nostalgic."
Another shopper gushed: "I love Far Away, has a oriental, fresh and floral scent that lasts unlike other more expensive high street brands, I wear it as my everyday scent and got a few compliments and asks. I don’t know why I ever stopped using it and it’s very good value for money."
A fourth added: "I haven't used this perfume in years and now that I got it I remember why I love it so so much. It smells so sweet and everybody loves it. Wherever I go they always asks about it and they make sweet comments about it."

Someone else added: "I love this scent for the price you can't beat it, the scent last all day. Very pretty pleasant scent, don't take my word buy a bottle, you'll love it."
However, not everyone was impressed with the staying power, as one disappointed shopper said: "If I want to smell nice for 10mins or so then I use it, the scent really does not last..such a shame."
Purchase Avon's Far Away EDP (50ml) for £15.80 on Amazon here.
If you're looking for a similar nostalgic scent, then a 50ml bottle of Viva La Juicy EDP from millennial-loved brand Juicy Couture is on offer at Boots for £29.50. Another 90s perfume you can bag for less is the iconic Tommy Girl that is £20 at Superdrug for 100ml.
