Explore a Tropical Paradise with Avon’s New Far Away Bali Perfume, Plus Snag Some Great Freebies!

With the arrival of Spring (and Campaign 9), comes the unveiling of a new tropical Spring fragrance from Avon, Far Away Bali.

Far Away Bali is beautiful, vibrant, more fruity than floral I would say, and definitely fresh. It smells like deep pink (I smell in colors), so the aroma definitely matches the gorgeous hot pink bottle it comes in.

I’m in love with the bottle as much as the fragrance!

Here is Avon’s official description:

WANDERLUST FOR THE EXOTIC
Get that island vibe with your new favorite scent, limited life Far Away Bali. 

Beautiful beaches. Vibrant sunrises. Far Away Bali captures an exotic island vibe with alluring notes of sparkling grapefruit and salted tuberose accented with the warmth of golden amber. 1.7 fl. oz.

NOTES
Top: Acai berry, Japanese plum, sparkling grapefruit
Mid: Water lily, salted tuberose, honeysuckle
Dry: Sacred woods, musk, golden amber

Fragrance Category
Fresh & Vibrant – Fruity floral scents with exciting, lush and liberating notes.

I really get the acai berry and plum, so that’s most likely why it smells deep pink to me.

This is definitely a wonderfully bright Spring aroma, and I cannot believe that it is listed for only $16.99 in my Avon store. It is a limited edition perfume, regular price is $25.00.

Avon has a special offer right now of a free bottle of Haiku Eau de Parfum (You know I love Haiku!) with the purchase of 2 (select) fragrances. Click here to see the selection.

Haiku Perfume Poetry: Beautiful Japanese Garden Fragrance

So beautiful… So tranquil… What a way to begin the new year.

How are you all doing? I hope you’re looking forward to a fabulous 2022.

I’ve began my 2022 enjoying the lovely fragrance of Haiku. I’ve actually been wearing this every day since it arrived, which is quite something for me. If you’ve been following my posts here for any length of time then you’ll know that I did not wear fragrance for a while after my candle making and perfumery days. I became overly sensitive to aromas and had to lay off for quite some time, and now I am very selective in what I enjoy experiencing scent-wise, and I’m especially cautious in which aromas I choose to wear. I mainly lean towards warm, vanilla-type aromas as they seem to be easier on the nose than florals, but — and this is really something — Avon has surprised me over and over now with their new perfumes. They are so well done. So expertly blended. And I know they are using only the very best fragrance oils because they are absolutely beautiful to enjoy. This has been my experience thus far with all the new aromas that I have tried, and Haiku certainly is on the top of my list right now for a very enjoyable fragrance.

I reviewed Haiku Sacred a while back. I really love that version as well. They are both very different from one another.

If you love a fresh floral then you will love this original Haiku.

NOTES
Top: Japanese yuzu
Middle: Delicate muguet
Bottom: Blonde woods

Japanese Yuzu is a traditional Japanese citrus fruit with an aromatic zest. You really get that in the top note. It’s beautiful but not overbearing on the citrus. Delicate Muguet (pronounced moo-gay) is French for Lily of the Valley. It’s a soft, delicate (as described) floral. Very easy on the nose. And Blonde Woods is an aromatic note meant to give you the soft sensuous feeling of cashmere. So, imagine all that blended together in one, and each note releasing itself to finish with a soft sensuality. Brilliant!

Which, I looked up the meaning of Haiku, and according to readpoetry.com, Haikus are Japanese poems that focus on a brief moment in time, juxtaposing two images, and creating a sudden sense of enlightenment.  So, I suppose Avon’s name for this fabulous perfume (and perfume line) is really spot on. The aromas are like poetry in motion.

Here is Avon’s description of this aroma:

The calming and clean notes of Haiku Eau de Parfum bloom in harmony to create a fresh floral that evokes the serenity of a Japanese garden.

You can enjoy Haiku in several different forms. I am enjoying this fragrance in Spray and Deodorant form. Isn’t it cool to be able to match your deodorant with your perfume? I like to spray the perfume into the air and walk into it. It gives me a very nice, light, aroma that makes me feel beautiful.

Here is a link to the Haiku Spray Perfume, and here is a link to the complete Haiku Perfume Collection, where you can find the perfect Haiku (or perfume poetry) for you.

Till next time, remember to stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Fall Candles 2021

Haiku Sacred Intense Eau de Parfum Review

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you enjoyed a fabulous weekend!

Today I bring an offering of wonderful aroma with Avon’s Haiku Sacred Intense Eau de Parfum.

I received a bottle of this in a recent Avon gift, and I was very excited to give it a try. Avon just recently launched their new Intense line of Haiku fragrances, and they all sound very intriguing.

I didn’t know what to expect with this gorgeous purple bottle. I suppose some type of “purple” floral. But, I was quite surprised. The aroma does not smell “purple” in the least. It is a beautiful blend of Rose de Mai (I looked this up, and Rose de Mai is a hybrid rose developed by Dutch breeders sometime between the 17th and 19th century (or earlier), according to Wikipedia. Hm! Learn something new every day!), uplifting tangerine, and earthy driftwood (balancing the beauty of nature, according to Avon).

I have to tell you — I really like it. It does not scream rose perfume or tangerine, but I get those notes + the slight earthiness, but most of all it is very fresh. Not heavy. I have mentioned to you before that I am a former perfumer and my nose is quite sensitive to smell. Aromas affect me in different ways – sometimes very positive, and sometimes not so much, and I sometimes have a more difficult time with florals, so I went in easily. But I must say that I can actually wear this without any upset, and actually, over the past few days I’ve found myself wanting to wear it. It is really pretty, and although the name says Intense, it really is not overpowering. I put on a gentle spray and rub my arms together slightly, and it’s very nice. I wouldn’t spray this all over, then it may become “Intense” :), unless that’s what you desire, then go for it!

You’re not going to believe what this perfume reminds me of. The first time I wore this, the very first thing that I thought of, and I know that you’re probably going to say that I’m silly, this is not a “professional” description, but I am going to say my honest opinion and what it reminds me of — You know that aroma you get when you open one of those fancy fashion magazines and they have a perfume sample inside the pages? You get a waft of beautiful aroma, and think, oh my goodness, that smells good, and I bet it’s very expensive. You know what I mean? That’s what it reminds me of! I feel like a fashion model wearing this. Super Star Jfay! Yay!

So, in my opinion, this one is a keeper. I most likely would not have ever experienced this lovely aroma had it not been for Avon graciously gifting it to me in my Ambassador gift collection. So THANK YOU Avon. I really love it, and will continue to wear this. I’m really surprised. I’m not usually a “rose” fragrance fan, but this is the second Avon product that I really love the aroma of, that has rose as an ingredient. The other is my Black Rose Body Scrub and Cleanser. That has a totally different aroma, and is really really pretty.

I hope you found my review helpful, and you may enjoy learning more about Avon’s Haiku line of perfumes. They encourage you to “Find Your Zen”.

Till next time, stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Thank You Avon for all the Wonderful Gifts, My Ambassadorship Rewards have Arrived!

I am absolutely on Cloud 9! I’m having so much fun, I can hardly stand it! Haha! Well, perhaps I can stand it.

I recently reached my first Avon Ambassadorship (Bronze Ambassador), and with that Avon has graciously sent me a very wonderful gift collection. There are so many goodies. It’s so awesome!

This gift is called the Recruiter’s Dream Collection, and it consists of 6 full-size best sellers + 60 samples. There are so many samples that I could not fit them all in the photos. Plus I’ll mention that I also have my personal order intermixed within the photos for your look-see.

The items that are included in the Recruiter’s Dream Collection are: Haiku Sacred Perfume, CBD Dry Body Oil, Belif Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser, Farm RX Bakuchiol Serum, Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Wild Rose, and Anew Ultimate Supreme. This is a $300.00 collection.

The items that are my personal order (you shouldn’t be shocked) are: Avon Foot Works, Daily Defense Hand Lotion, Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy (facial lotion), Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing & Repair Body Cream, and 2 Moisturizing Bar Soaps (olive oil & coconut oil).

And, like I said, there are tons of fabulous samples. A lot of the new perfumes to try out too! I cannot wait to dive in and give everything a try.

I plan to try each item and share with you how everything is. I personally have not tried any of these Avon products (from my reward collection), except for the Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Wild Rose. I just purchased that one (and blogged about it), so I know I love it! The Farm RX, I have been using the Eye Cream for a couple of weeks and have been planning to tell you how I like that, so I’ll now also be trying out the Serum, yay!

And, as if I am not over-the-moon grateful and joyous enough for all of this – I just earned 2 more beauty collections. So, HUGE YAY! My cup runneth over with fabulousness. I love Avon so much and am so very grateful that I was led back to them. I share all this joy with you to let you know that you can also be a part of all this receiving and joy. Whether you are a super fabulous customer (I love my customers (friends), or if you’re looking for something rewarding and fun to do – well, come on – I will be more than happy to invite you in and help you on your way. I just celebrated my 2 year Avon Anniversary, and hope to continue this journey for many more years to come.

Anyway — I am jump up and down happy right now — I will be blogging about each of these items very soon, so stay tuned. I’ve already tried on a spritz of the Haiku Sacred. It really caught me by surprise. I thought it would smell “purple” because of the bottle, but it’s very fresh and pretty and sophisticated.

Okay gang, I’ll stop chattering for now, but you know I’ll be back very soon with more Avon adventures (as I like to call them!). This has been a big one for sure! Oh, a quick p.s., the Ambassador Reward Collection is available through the end of Campaign 26. We just began Campaign 17. Feel free to contact me to ask how you earn this reward.

Late Summer to Fall Florals

I love the transition from one season to another. There are suddenly hints of nuance that guide you gently into the feels and aromas of the new season.

One of my favorite transitional times is from Summer to Fall. I love how the colors go from very bright and vibrant to increasingly dark and rich. I also love the aromas of the upcoming Autumn. It all just really gets me in a comfy, but also festive mood.

A great way to transition yourself personally from one season to the next is with the colors in which you adorn yourself (in your wardrobe, makeup, jewelry, etc.), and also in the aromas you wear or have wafting throughout your home.

Avon has a couple of new LYRD (layers redefined) Parums (perfumes) that are perfect for the transition from late Summer into Fall. Each has notes of uplifting freshness combined with a hints of richer, darker spices such as Patchouli and Warm Amber.

First, pictured above, is LYRD Rose du Soleil with radiant notes of sun-ripened raspberry, enchanting rose, and spicy patchouli. This reminds me so much of a bright Summer garden transitioning into Fall.

And another Summer garden transitioning into Fall aroma blend for you, LYRD Bouquet de Freesia Eau de Parfum. You get an unexpected mix of sweet Freesia and Tulip, blended with the warmth of Amber.

Which is your favorite aroma combination?

Avon also features 4 specialty LYRD Candles that are also perfect for the late Summer to Fall transition.

There are 4 blends to choose from: Rose Blossom & Musk, Juicy Currant & Magnolia, Violet & Birch, and Peony & Cedar. Here’s a link to view all 4.

Wonderful late Summer to Fall blends.

I hope you find your favorites to bring cheer to the Seasonal changes coming soon. I already see people out looking for Fall decor for their homes. It’s time to get into the mood, but I will let Summer linger a little while longer, and these aroma blends are just perfect for that.

Till next time, have a wonderful Sunday tomorrow. I hope you have fun plans.
