{"product_id":"frederic-malle-promise-eau-de-parfum-sample","title":"Frederic Malle Promise Eau de Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003ePromise is the second volume of Frederic Malle's Desert Gems, a tribute to Middle Eastern perfumery that Dominique Ropion composed in 2017. He recreates the pull of oud as an illusion, with cypriol and Turkish and Bulgarian rose, and the house links it to the strongest bonds between two people. Rose and cypriol are a bold pair, and a 10 ml decant lets you meet it quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Pink pepper, Rosemary oil, Apple accord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Bulgarian rose oil, Turkish rose absolute, Clove oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Patchouli heart, Ambroxan, Labdanum, Cypriol heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePepper, rosemary, apple\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree notes sit on top: pink pepper, rosemary oil and an apple accord. Pepper gives a dry spark, rosemary a green herbal bite, and the apple something bright and faintly tart. They start the scent with energy before the roses arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo roses, one clove\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulgarian rose oil and Turkish rose absolute stand side by side in the heart, with clove oil next to them. Both roses get room, and the clove adds a warm, dry spice so they do not go soft. This is where the idea of strong bonds gains weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn oud that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base lists patchouli heart, ambroxan, labdanum and cypriol heart, and no oud at all. According to the brand, Ropion recreates its allure as an illusion built from cypriol and rose. Labdanum brings resin, ambroxan a smooth skin-warm backing, and patchouli earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePromise is dense and dry, so apply a small amount to clean skin and give the roses and cypriol time to unfold. Cool evenings and indoor settings suit it. Test it at a long dinner or a quiet day at home, and compare how it feels at the start and later in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who like rose with a dark, resinous backdrop, and who enjoy the idea of oud without a literal oud note. It suits those who respond to scents with a story attached and want formality for evenings and special occasions. The house shows it on its women's and men's pages alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Frederic Malle Promise as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose and cypriol is a strong pairing, and an oud illusion may please you or fail to convince you. Concentration and richness make a mistake costly in a 50 ml bottle. A 10 ml decant is a measured way to see how this dark rose behaves on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the decant?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10 ml of Promise Eau de Parfum, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us.
