The Others

Perfume Parlour The Others is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1978. The Others opens with Orange Blossom, Hyacinth, Lily, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Rose, Iris, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, and Oakmoss. Perfume Parlour's The Others carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

The Others channels Cacharel's vintage classic Anais Anais, its lush white-floral bouquet softened by powdery amber and moss. That timeless, romantic femininity comes through, though it wears lighter and flatter than the original L'Original.

About

The Others is Perfume Parlour's take on Cacharel's Anais Anais, the soft white-floral that launched an era of feminine bouquets in the late 1970s. It opens green and delicate with orange blossom, hyacinth and white lily over a fresh citrus lift, then unfolds into a rich romantic heart of jasmine, rose, iris, lily of the valley and ylang-ylang. The base settles into a powdery, mossy chypre of sandalwood, amber, musk, oakmoss and a touch of incense. Against the original, this budget version simplifies the intricate floral layering and reads softer and more linear, with the vintage chypre depth pared back and longevity closer to the skin. Still, the powdery, ultra-feminine character is recognisable, making it a pretty and nostalgic budget option for spring days and gentle autumn evenings.
