{"product_id":"frederic-malle-contre-jour-sample","title":"Frederic Malle Contre-jour Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn this page you find Frederic Malle Contre-jour, a perfume, as a decant. A note pyramid is not on file here, so this page makes no claims about how it should come across. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes: not on file\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe notes of Contre-jour are not in our files. That is not a judgement about the perfume, only about what we can state with certainty. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOn request\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe status of Contre-jour 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. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the vial\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Contre-jour that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no season on file for Frederic Malle Contre-jour, the fair test is simply several different days. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo audience is on record for Frederic Malle Contre-jour, and a perfume does not check who wears it anyway. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Frederic Malle Contre-jour as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescriptions and reviews tell you how Contre-jour wears on other people; only a sample tells you how it wears on you. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Frederic Malle is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs this the same perfume as the full bottle?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Frederic Malle Contre-jour and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy does this page list no notes?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo note list is on record with us for Frederic Malle Contre-jour, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I try Contre-jour next to other samples?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederic Malle","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67706162938010,"sku":"DG-FMA-CONTRE-JOUR-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67706162970778,"sku":"DG-FMA-CONTRE-JOUR-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67706163003546,"sku":"DG-FMA-CONTRE-JOUR-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/frederic-malle-contre-jour-sample.jpg?v=1791508872","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/frederic-malle-contre-jour-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
