Perfume Parlour Far Island For Women is an Eau de Parfum. Far Island For Women opens with Hyacinth, Bergamot, Lemon, and Iris, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Far Island For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget tribute to Guy Laroche's vintage Fidji. The clean, soapy green-floral character with its powdery iris lands recognisably, though Perfume Parlour smooths away much of the original's resinous galbanum complexity.

About

Far Island chases the timeless elegance of Guy Laroche's 1966 Fidji, opening with a clean, green-floral wave of iris, hyacinth, bergamot and lemon. A soft floral heart of violet, jasmine, ylang-ylang and rose carries the airy, soapy character before a base of sandalwood, amber, patchouli and vetiver gives a quiet woody-mossy grounding. The original is famous for its astonishing green galbanum thread, powdery iris and excellent 7-10 hour longevity. This clone keeps the soapy, feminine, powdery-floral signature and the airy iris facet, but the resinous green opening is rendered simpler and the mossy drydown reads lighter and fades faster, giving a few hours of refined close wear. It captures the elegant, vintage spirit of Fidji for a fraction of the cost.
