Frapin Checkmate Sample
Checkmate in a small glass spray vial
Frapin Checkmate is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. Its notes are not in our files, and we would rather say so than fill the gap. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
What is not on this page
No note list is on record for Frapin Checkmate; wear it and judge. We would rather give you a clean sample than a description we cannot stand behind. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.

Listed on request
The status of Checkmate is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.

About the decant
A decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Checkmate that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Nothing on record ties Checkmate to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.
Who it is for
No audience is on record for Frapin Checkmate, and a perfume does not check who wears it anyway. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf.
Why try Frapin Checkmate as a sample first
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Frapin is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
Is this a sample made by Frapin?
No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Checkmate from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Frapin Checkmate, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Will Checkmate be the same on me as on someone else?
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear Frapin Checkmate yourself before deciding.

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!
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.
