{"product_id":"fascent-sel-a-vie-eau-de-parfum-sample","title":"Fascent Sel à Vie Eau de Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eFascent Sel à Vie is an Eau de Parfum built as a seaside summer: sun at its peak, salty hair, sunscreen and holiday romances, in the brand's words. Mandarin and sweet orange lead to ylang ylang, jasmine and tiaré, then to sea salt, driftwood and a vanilla infusion. Salty scents divide opinion, so trying it as a 10 ml decant is a sensible first step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Mandarin, Sweet orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Ylang ylang, Jasmine, Tiaré\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Sea salt, Driftwood, Vanilla infusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCitrus in full sun\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMandarin and sweet orange start juicy and sunlit, rounder than a sharp lemon opening. It is closer to fruit eaten outdoors than to a cologne. Notice how long this bright layer lasts before anything salty arrives, because that is where the holiday mood starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA warm floral middle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYlang ylang, jasmine and tiaré make the heart. Ylang ylang is creamy and slightly fruity, jasmine heady and bright, tiaré tropical and soft. The sample will show you whether you enjoy white flowers this warm, or whether the middle feels overloaded for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSea salt, wood, vanilla\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSea salt gives the base a dry, mineral edge, driftwood a pale, weathered wood, and the vanilla infusion keeps the ending soft rather than sweet. In the brand's own phrase the result is salty and sun-kissed. Salt on skin behaves differently from person to person, which is the whole reason to test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it on warm skin on a sunny day and give it a stretch of ordinary activity before you decide. Then repeat on a milder spring day to see how much of the salt and the flowers remains. Ideally wear it for two or three separate days, so you are not judging one mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFascent lists it as unisex. It is for people who want a sunny, salty, lightly floral scent for holidays and warm days, with enough warmth in the base not to feel thin. It is a good sample candidate if you have always loved the idea of a marine perfume but never found one that suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Fascent Sel à Vie as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA salty perfume is one of the hardest types to buy unseen, since sea salt and driftwood read very differently on different skin. Our 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you check before you commit to the 30 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat do the notes consist of?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMandarin and sweet orange on top, ylang ylang, jasmine and tiaré in the heart, sea salt, driftwood and a vanilla infusion in the base.
