Love Island’s Molly Smith praises ‘long lasting’ £16 perfume that ‘smells expensive’

Molly Smith, a star of Love Island, praised a £16 perfume that she claimed “smells expensive.” Since its launch in early September, the product has also become extremely well-known online.

Far Away Shine, an AVON new viral sensation, has been worn by the celebrity. The perfumier behind the new perfume, Honorine Blanc, also created YSL’s Black Opium, so it’s no surprise the scent has become a fan favourite.

Molly recently shared the scent with her 640k followers on TikTok, quickly going viral with more than 403k views and 8, 535 likes. Many fans were offended to learn that the high-street brand had the luxury scent.

Molly was floored by the smell, exclaiming that it “smells expensive”, and is a “bargain”. When she tested the popular scent on her boyfriend, Tom Clare, who thought it was worth £120, she was shocked to learn that the perfume is actually £16 from AVON.

The scent is ideal for autumn, with middle notes of exotic Ispahan roses and base notes of luminous golden musk. The collection’s new stackable and recyclable bottles are a welcome addition to the Far Away collection.

The perfume has an impressing 4.7 star rating online, with many praising the scent in rave reviews. Among them, one shopper said: “Sunshine in a bottle. I very enjoy using this perfume. I like the musky undertones and sweetness (which is about right) because it has a nice warm, fruity note but is also great and fresh during the summer.

I adore roses’ floral notes. When not feeling so great, it helps to boost your mood. I also really like how the scent stayed on my clothes throughout the day.

A second wrote:” Long Lasting Summer Scent. This is a really pleasant perfume, which you could probably buy either for yourself or to give someone else as a present. Don’t be fooled by the initial sweet blast! It settles into something deeper, reminiscent of summer evenings, and lasts for hours. “

A third shopper added:” New favourite perfume! This perfume is ideal for the summer and into the fall! It’s both elegant and chic, and it’s a good way to transition into the fall months! I will definitely repurchase! “

However, some people were not quite so impressed, with one shopper writing:” A big no. I had a great time trying it. I didn’t like it at all. It’s a very dated sent. It evokes a typical Avon from the past twenty years in my opinion. Used it three times and I can’t anymore. I was actually pleased about it because it doesn’t last.

The Fragrance Shop has Yves Saint Laurent Libre for £58 while Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia for Her Eau de Parfum is currently on sale for $58. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Neon Eau de Parfum is available on LookFantastic for £64.80, down from £108.
