Perfume Parlour Tropical For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000. Tropical For Women opens with Almond Blossom, Green, and Orange, settles into a heart of Neroli, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Tropical For Women carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget version of Guerlain Mahora. Tropical captures the heady, creamy tuberose-and-ylang white floral that made the original notorious, but the dupe pushes the big flowers louder while the buttery, gourmand vanilla-sandalwood depth that gave Mahora its rich, opulent finish reads thinner and fades faster.

About

Tropical opens on a soft orange and almond blossom over green notes, a lighter prelude before the flowers take over. The heart is the heart of Mahora itself - a thick, creamy tuberose and a heavy ylang-ylang, fleshed out with jasmine and neroli into a lush, almost tropical white-floral overdose. The base settles on vanilla, sandalwood and a touch of vetiver. Next to the Guerlain, this Perfume Parlour interpretation reads bolder but flatter: the big white flowers come through clearly and even louder up top, while the buttery, near-gourmand richness and the deep, opulent vanilla-sandalwood drydown that made Mahora so memorable are simplified, so it makes a strong first impression but doesn't linger with the same creamy weight. It remains a confident, full-bodied floral for warm evenings and dressed-up occasions.
