Dirty gold digger is a literal reference to a Victorian character who arrived in Australia for the 1850’s gold rush. While digging for gold men at some point have become aware of a divine fresh aroma covering their hands and clothes. They were working underneath eucalyptus trees and the oils from the leaves would settle on the prospectors. In search for gold, they found eucalyptus. 
Dirty Gold Digger, the perfume, gives you that airy elusive and pleasant aroma of the eucalyptus tree as if your right under one. It’s is refreshing and sunny.

Named after the Portuguese city of Faro, where the yuzu in this perfume comes from.

A miraculous aural hologram of a sky-high yuzu meringue pie. Far is a vivid perfume built around yuzu grown in the region surrounding the Portuguese parish Faro do Alentejo. This scrumptious gourmand adds texture to its virtual calories: it’s fluffy, creamy, even crunchy, if you consider the buttery biscuit crust effect at the base.

Just-picked leafy greens and herbs piled high, topped with yuzu peel and runny honey. Raw and green, the smell that bursts when a leaf is bruised between the fingers. Tea leaf is the most bitter, holding the balance against grape skin and wild thyme. Neroli adds floral brightness, while oakmoss and patchouli root the fragrance. White musk and tonka bean tenderly infuse the composition.
