Wear Somnium first, decide later
Somnium is a perfume from Hemcael. We do not have its notes on record, which is one more reason to let your own nose decide. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
Our record for Somnium stops at brand and name. Notes, families and seasons are left out here because we cannot verify them. 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.
This sample is listed on request, which means it is not filled yet. Use the form on this page to let us know you would like Somnium, and we note it. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Hemcael Somnium, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself.
Testing it
For Hemcael Somnium we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub.
Our record does not say for whom Hemcael Somnium was made. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes.
A full bottle is a long commitment, and a sample lets you make it with open eyes. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.
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.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Hemcael Somnium 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.
No note list is on record with us for Hemcael Somnium, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
14 perfumes by Hemcael: that is our current list of samples from this house. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. You find Hemcael among the niche perfume samples. Trying two or three of them side by side shows what the house is about on your own skin.

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
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
