{"product_id":"gulf-orchid-mango-ice-sample","title":"Gulf Orchid Mango Ice Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eGulf Orchid Mango Ice is a Parfum that opens with mango, lemon, ginger and rhubarb, passes through white flowers, amber and licorice, and ends on musk, vanilla, caramel and chestnut. It is a loud mix of fresh and sweet, and the licorice and caramel make it hard to predict from the list alone, so a sample helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Mango, Lemon, Ginger, Rhubarb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e White Flowers, Amber, Licorice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Musk, Vanilla, Caramel, Chestnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFruit with a cold snap\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMango leads the top, and lemon, ginger and rhubarb sharpen it. The rhubarb and ginger are there to cut through the fruit, so the start should feel juicy but not syrupy. Notice whether the cooling effect works for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhite flowers, amber, licorice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe middle is the odd part: white flowers, amber and licorice. Licorice adds an aromatic, slightly dark depth, which can feel unusual next to fruit. Wear it long enough to see whether that depth appeals to you or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMusk, vanilla, caramel, chestnut\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is sweet and soft: musk, vanilla, caramel and chestnut. Chestnut and caramel make it feel nutty and edible. If you like gourmand finishes this is the payoff, and if not, you will notice by the end of the wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it on a warm day, since the tags record spring and summer, and spray once on the forearm. Check the first ten minutes for the mango, then the middle of the day for the licorice, and the late stage for the caramel. Repeat on an evening, which the tags also list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like fruity, gourmand perfumes with an unexpected twist and are happy to experiment. FragranceGems records it as unisex and strong, so one spray on the forearm is a fair start, and you can add a second on another day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Gulf Orchid Mango Ice as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house of Gulf Orchid has nothing to do with this vial, and it is not an official brand sample. We decant Mango Ice from the original bottle and label it ourselves. With a mix as unusual as mango, licorice and chestnut, 2, 5 or 10 ml is a safer first step than a full bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs licorice really in it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, licorice is listed in the heart, next to white flowers and amber, as recorded by FragranceGems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it an extreme sweet perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe base is sweet, with vanilla, caramel and chestnut, but the top has lemon, ginger and rhubarb.
