{"product_id":"alezz-oud-hersh-lahab-sample","title":"Alezz Oud Hersh Lahab Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlezz Oud Hersh Lahab is an Eau de Parfum that opens with basil, black pepper and vetiver, moves through Timur pepper and grapefruit, and rests on patchouli. Pepper, bitter citrus and patchouli sit differently on different skins, so a 10 ml decant is a practical way to find out before you consider the 100 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Basil, Black Pepper, Vetiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Timur Pepper, Grapefruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Patchouli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBasil, pepper and vetiver\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening is green and dry rather than fruity. Basil brings a cool herbal sharpness, black pepper adds a dusty heat, and vetiver gives the first minutes an earthy floor. Spray it once and give it a short wait: the herbs tend to show first and the pepper settles in a little later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTimur pepper meets grapefruit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragranceGems describes the heart as built on Timur, a Sichuan-type pepper, with grapefruit beside it. The Timur gives an almost tingling sensation in that description, the grapefruit a bitter, clean edge. Together they should make the middle feel bright and slightly electric before the base arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA patchouli finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recorded base is patchouli alone, described as a warm, woody and steady close. A single-note base is easy to read on skin: if you like patchouli the drydown should feel familiar, and if you do not, the sample tells you soon. Check it again in the evening, when the base has had time to open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it on clean skin on a cool morning, one spray on the forearm and one on the chest, so you can compare both spots. Smell the wrist at the start and again after you have forgotten about it. Wear it on a second day for the office and on a third for an evening out, and see which setting suits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fit if you like peppery, herbal openings and a patchouli close, and prefer a perfume that feels dry rather than sweet. FragranceGems tags it for men and for autumn and winter, with daily, work and special occasions. If patchouli has not worked for you before, the decant answers that without a full bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Alezz Oud Hersh Lahab as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePepper, grapefruit and patchouli are three notes that people react to very differently. The vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and carries a label we add ourselves. It is not an official brand sample, and Alezz Oud has no part in it. A single link on this page leads to the full bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does the Timur pepper add?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragranceGems calls it almost tingling and says it blends into the grapefruit. How strong that feels depends on your skin, and a few test days will show whether it suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat exactly is in the vial?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA glass spray vial with 10 ml of Hersh Lahab, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle.
