Avon takes us Far Away… Beyond the Moon
This December, Avon welcomes a new addition to their Far Away parfum family. Introducing Avon Far Away Beyond the Moon, a scent inspired by the beauty of the full moon. In its heart is the Belle de Nuit, a fragrant flower that blooms only at night. This fragrance is designed to transport its wearer to a dreamy, moonlit landscape, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. Imagine a scent that captures the quietude of nocturnal skies, the whisper of a night breeze, and the delicate dance of moonbeams on a tranquil sea.
If you’re looking for a lasting fragrance, this might be right up your alley! Beyond the Moon is formulated with a higher concentration of fragrance oil, making it the most intense perfume in Avon’s Far Away lineup.
Shop Far Away Beyond The Moon and other Avon Fine Fragrances at www.avonshop.ph, through your local Avon representative, Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.

Finally, local Luxe fragrances for men
Luxe Fragrances by Luxe Organix have been making the rounds in social media, leaving influencers surprised at how similar they are to high-end fragrances. Just last week, they added three new additions to the lineup, designed for men! These Eau De Toilettes (EDT’s) are now available online and at Watsons stores for only P299 for a 100mL bottle, same price as the original four scents. Triumph is described as “a crisp citrusy scent that is sweet yet masculine,” with lemon, pink pepper, apple, bergamot, and blackcurrant top notes. Chivalry sounds perfect for outdoorsy types, “a citrusy & woody scent that is clean yet alluring.” It features lemon zest, bergamot, and mint as top notes. Last but definitely not least, Anarchy is “a fresh spicy scent that is radical yet timeless,” featuring Calabrian bergamot and pepper as top notes.

Consumers can enjoy their favorite scents more sustainably, with up to 35% cost savings. It currently features best-selling fragrances from the L’Oreal group, including signature perfumes from YSL, Prada, Lancôme, Armani, and Mugler.

Must-watch documentary for Dior fans and fragrance aficionados
Have you ever wished for insider access to fashion and beauty’s iconic brands? Or wondered exactly how perfumes come into existence? This week, Amazon Prime released a new documentary that will allow you to experience that world. “Inside the Dream Dior” follows French perfumer Francis Kurkdjian in his first year as Dior’s creative director of perfume. His quest: to reinvent J’Adore, the brand’s signature scent. Aside from getting an exclusive look-see of Dior’s Paris headquarters, Kurkdjian journeys to Los Angeles, Tokyo, Grasse, and India to fulfill his mission.
And that’s that for this week’s beauty news roundup! Honestly, I’m not much of a perfume fan. Still, seeing new scents, affordable local alternatives, and sustainable options made me happy. I also love a good story, so I’m definitely adding Inside the Dream Dior to my watchlist. Stay tuned for more beauty news around the globe!
