{"product_id":"gulf-orchid-cloud-9-sample","title":"Gulf Orchid Cloud 9 Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is Gulf Orchid Cloud 9, an Eau de Parfum by Gulf Orchid, offered here as a sample. Its listing names Bergamot, Cedar and Musk. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBergamot, Cedar, Musk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes, as recorded\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe notes on record for Cloud 9 are Bergamot, Cedar and Musk. They are listed without tiers, and we keep them that way instead of guessing a pyramid. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScent family\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGulf Orchid Cloud 9 is classified as floral, fresh and woody. If those families usually work for you, a sample confirms it; if they usually do not, it may still surprise you. FragranceGems rates its strength as light. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall size, same perfume\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Cloud 9 that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. 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\u003eFor Cloud 9, FragranceGems names spring and summer as the fitting time of year. On record it fits everyday wear and work. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. 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\u003eThe audience on record for Cloud 9: for everyone (unisex). Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Gulf Orchid Cloud 9 as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. It is our own decant from the original bottle, labelled by us. This is not an official brand sample and the house is not involved. Should it turn out to be yours, the full bottle is in the FragranceGems range.\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 Gulf Orchid Cloud 9 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 are the notes not split into top, heart and base?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the record for Gulf Orchid Cloud 9 gives one flat list: Bergamot, Cedar and Musk. We print notes exactly as recorded and never sort them into a pyramid ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow do I test Cloud 9 properly?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gulf Orchid","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67705856229530,"sku":"DG-GOR-CLOUD-9-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67705856262298,"sku":"DG-GOR-CLOUD-9-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67705856295066,"sku":"DG-GOR-CLOUD-9-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/gulf-orchid-cloud-9-sample.jpg?v=1791502726","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/gulf-orchid-cloud-9-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
