Bergamot, Berries and Citrus fruits, tried on skin first
Shift is a Parfum from Assaf. The recorded notes read Bergamot, Berries, Citrus fruits, Patchouli, Pineapple, Spices and Vetiver. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

The composition
These notes are recorded without a pyramid.
On the skin
The recorded notes of Assaf Shift are Bergamot, Berries, Citrus fruits, Patchouli, Pineapple, Spices and Vetiver. Nothing on record says which of them opens, so we do not claim it. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
Shift carries the family labels citrus, fresh and fruity. Labels like these help you sort a long list, and wearing it does the actual judging. For strength, the listing says moderate. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
Assaf Shift comes as 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle. It is labelled by us and not by the brand. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
FragranceGems lists Shift for spring and summer, so start your test in that kind of weather. For occasions, the listing says everyday wear and sport. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
FragranceGems lists Assaf Shift for men. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. To be clear, this is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants it from the original bottle and puts its own label on the vial; Assaf plays no role. When the sample convinces you, the full bottle is part of the FragranceGems range.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Shift from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
FragranceGems lists it for spring and summer. That is a guide, not a rule: with a decant you can try it in other weather and see whether it still works for you.
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
The brand
Assaf makes Arabian perfumes with character, a warm oriental signature and, as FragranceGems puts it, a range that runs from elegant daytime scents to rich evening compositions. We have not found a brand site to quote, so this page rests on FragranceGems' own data. One Assaf Eau de Parfum is listed as a sample, Assaf Attacks, a green, spicy vetiver scent that is more restrained than its name. A sample is the way to find that out.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
