{"product_id":"gissah-akoya-sample","title":"Gissah Akoya Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eGissah Akoya is a parfum named after the Akoya pearl. Raspberry, orange oil and bergamot open it, jasmine, caramel and lavender sit in the heart, and sandalwood, patchouli and the rare wood eucryphia close it. Fruit, caramel and lavender is an unusual mix, which is a good reason to try a little of it before anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Raspberry, Orange Oil, Bergamot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Jasmine, Caramel, Lavender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandalwood, Patchouli, Eucryphia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRaspberry, orange oil, bergamot\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragranceGems says the orange oil gives the juicy raspberry a sharp, citrus-bright lift, with bergamot alongside. The opening is where fruit and citrus argue, so give it a few minutes on the skin and see which of the two you notice first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJasmine, caramel, lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart, liquid caramel meets lavender and jasmine. FragranceGems describes the sweetness melting into the aromatic freshness of the lavender. This is the stage where lavender-sceptics and caramel-sceptics both find out whether the blend works for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSandalwood, patchouli, eucryphia\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli and eucryphia, a rare wood that FragranceGems links to honeyed, woody tones. Check this drydown late in the day, when the fruit has gone and the wood and patchouli are what remains on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it on a bright spring or summer day, once on clean skin, and carry on as usual. Come back at lunch, mid-afternoon and in the evening and write one line each time. A second trial under evening light shows whether caramel and lavender turn warmer once the temperature drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGissah Akoya is for men and women who want something polished and slightly unexpected, to wear by day, in the evening and at work. FragranceGems puts it in spring and summer at moderate strength. If you usually pick either fresh citrus or sweet gourmands, this one sits between them, and a sample shows how comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Gissah Akoya as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fruit, caramel and lavender mix is hard to judge from a list, because the notes can feel cosy on one wrist and muddled on another. The vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original Gissah bottle and carries our label. The pearl-named parfum in it is no official brand sample, and Gissah plays no part in filling it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhere does the name Akoya come from?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragranceGems says the parfum is named after the Akoya pearl, which it associates with refinement. The name is not a note, so you will not find pearl in the pyramid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the raspberry sweet or sharp?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragranceGems writes that orange oil gives the raspberry a sharp, citrus-bright lift, so the fruit leans fresh rather than jammy at first. The caramel arrives later in the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs eucryphia a common note?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a rare wood, as FragranceGems puts it, with honeyed woody tones in the base. If it is new to you, the sample is a low-risk way to meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gissah","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67705663979674,"sku":"DG-GIS-AKOYA-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67705664012442,"sku":"DG-GIS-AKOYA-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67705664045210,"sku":"DG-GIS-AKOYA-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/gissah-akoya-sample.jpg?v=1791501632","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/gissah-akoya-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
