Perfume Parlour Going Apart For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002. Going Apart For Women opens with Cyclamen, Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Fig, settles into a heart of Peach Blossom, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood. Perfume Parlour's Going Apart For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a aldehydic-led wear.

Going Apart chases Amouage Dia Pour Femme's elegant aldehydic-floral signature. It captures the soapy, vintage rose-and-orris character on a budget, though it reads flatter and less refined, missing some of the luxurious dimension of the Ellena niche original.

About

Going Apart opens with a soft aldehydic shimmer over bergamot, violet leaf and a green herbal touch of sage and tarragon, faithfully echoing the powdery, soapy start of Amouage Dia Woman. The heart is a refined floral of Turkish rose, orris root, orange blossom and peach blossom, before a warm base of heliotrope, sandalwood, incense, guaiac wood and white musk settles into a vintage-makeup-and-clean-linen drydown. Where the Amouage feels luxurious and three-dimensional - the aldehydes sparkling, the rose dewy - this budget version reads flatter and a little more straightforward, the soapy elegance slightly muted. Projection is moderate and longevity is good at five to seven hours, short of the original's remarkable staying power. It is a sophisticated, refined floral for office, formal and daytime wear across the cooler seasons, and an affordable way to taste the elegance of a celebrated niche scent.
