Embrace Yourself with Fragrance
Date of Review: May 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a perfume for everyone. A perfect combination of florals and earth scents to appeal to ever woman.
I love fragrance! Avon creates a large number of perfumes and I think I own just about all of them but this is one of my favorites.
Far Away Sensual Embrace is an exotic fragrance with a mixture of florals and musks. As with all perfumes it has top, middle and base notes. The top notes, the aroma you experience when a fragrance is first applied, comes from hibiscus, orchid and camelia flowers. As the fragrance begins to settle the mid notes are from cyclamen, passion flower, stephanotis, mimosa and linden flower. The base notes of this perfume, which give it a warm and earthy scent, come from agarwood, vanilla,amber and silk musk.
This perfume, when first applied, will arouse your sense of smell. When I wear it I feel pretty and feminine. The best part is that a little bit goes a long way. As with all of the Avon Eau de Parfum Sprays this fragrance was created with higher concentrations of each of the aroma oils than your typical fragrances so the wonderful scent stays with you all day.
Far Away Sensual Embrace comes in a 1.7 fl. oz. bottle that is as pretty to look at as it is to wear. Frosted glass tinted purple with smooth curves. This fragrance sells for only $22.50 and can be found for less several times a year when in gift sets. It also comes in a purse size spray for $9 but often on sale for less, so if you feel the need to "touch up your fragrance you can. I find the fragrance will last all day, especially if you use a layering technique. Start your day with a shower using Sensual Embrace Shower gel, follow this by applying the pearlesque Body Cover, then use either the Body Powder, which comes in a tube shaped container or the new Shimmer Dusting Powder.
All in all I find this to be one of Avon's best perfumes. I get complements on it all the time. I think if you try it you will too.
