Saffron, coffee and caramel on sandalwood
Gissah Beyond Me is a Parfum that opens with cardamom, pink pepper and saffron, moves to caramel, coffee and coconut milk, and ends on labdanum, sandalwood and patchouli. It is tagged strong, for evenings and special occasions in autumn and winter. A pairing of coffee and coconut milk is easy to like or dislike, and only wearing it settles that.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top is vital and intense. Cardamom and pink pepper bring a warm, peppery spiciness that FragranceGems says cuts through the lush saffron. The effect is meant to be strong and inviting at once, so smell it immediately after applying it, before the spice settles.
The heart is rich and hypnotic in FragranceGems' words. Dark coffee melts into liquid caramel, and coconut milk adds an exotic creaminess. It is the sweet-bitter centre of the perfume and the stage where people usually make up their minds.
The base is labdanum, sandalwood and patchouli. Sandalwood adds creaminess, patchouli earth, and labdanum a balsamic warmth. FragranceGems describes a trail that stays on the skin like a precious signature. Give this part time, since it is where the sweetness finally calms.
Testing it
Wear it on a cool evening on clean skin, and since the tags say strong, begin modestly. Smell your wrist as soon as it is on, again when the coffee and caramel arrive, and once more when it is only sandalwood and patchouli. A second try in a different outfit will show how it sits with fabric.
For people who like gourmand-oriental scents with spice and coffee in them, and want something with presence for evenings. Nothing in the listing ties it to one gender. If you find coconut or caramel too sweet in general, the sample tells you whether the cardamom and patchouli keep them in check.
A perfume with saffron, coffee and coconut milk is not a scent you can imagine from a list, and opinions on it split quickly. A 2, 5 or 10 ml decant gives you enough to wear it through several evenings. Our team decants it from the original bottle and puts our own label on the vial, with no involvement from Gissah.
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.

Coffee is one of three heart notes, with caramel and coconut milk. It is part of a sweet and bitter mix rather than a single coffee note.
The top has cardamom, pink pepper and saffron, so spice is the first impression. Later the caramel, coconut milk and woods take over.
Autumn and winter are the seasons recorded for it. A sample lets you test it on a cooler spring evening and decide whether it travels beyond those seasons.

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
