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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
