Cognac, cinnamon and plum, then vanilla
Fragrance World Cocktail Intense is an Eau de Parfum that opens with cognac, cinnamon and plum, moves to myrrh, cashmeran and iris, and settles on vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood. A boozy, spiced opening like this can be delightful or heavy, so a decant is a sensible way to test it before you take a full bottle.

Reviews of FragranceGems, the shop behind DecantGems
I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
Cognac, cinnamon and plum give the top a warm, fruity and slightly alcoholic character. Cinnamon adds a dry sweetness, and the plum keeps it round. Pay attention to how quickly the sharp spirit note softens on your skin.
The middle combines myrrh, cashmeran and iris. Myrrh adds a resinous, bitter-sweet depth, cashmeran gives a soft woody-musky warmth and iris brings a powdery texture. Together they turn the drink-like start into something calmer.
The base is vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood, a creamy and warm combination. It rounds the spice into a comforting finish. If you enjoy gourmand bases, this is where Cocktail Intense should win you over.
Testing it
Choose an evening or a cool day and spray once on the forearm, since the tags point to evening and special occasions in autumn and winter. Do not add more in the first minutes, because the cognac and cinnamon can feel strong at first. Check the same spot the next morning.
For people who like warm, gourmand-oriental perfumes and are curious about a spirit-and-spice opening. FragranceGems records it as unisex and strong, so test it in cooler weather rather than on a hot day.
The cognac-and-plum vial does not come from Fragrance World, and it is not an official brand sample. This decant of Cocktail Intense is filled by FragranceGems and labelled by us. A strong, boozy perfume is easier to judge in 2, 5 or 10 ml than in a full bottle you may not finish.
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.

The opening lists a cognac note, which describes the scent, not an ingredient list. The recorded notes are cognac, cinnamon and plum in the top.
Yes, FragranceGems records Cocktail Intense as an Eau de Parfum, and the decant is filled from that bottle.
Spiced, boozy openings divide opinions. A short trial shows if the vanilla and sandalwood base wins you over.

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
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
