{"product_id":"houbigant-essence-rare-sample","title":"Houbigant Essence Rare Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eHoubigant Essence Rare is a perfume from the Houbigant line-up. No note list is on record with us for this perfume, and we do not guess one. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes: not on file\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis page says little about what Essence Rare contains, on purpose: no note list is on record, and the sample says more than a guess. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding. Give it time to settle before you judge it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore it can be filled\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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 Essence Rare, and we note it. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sample itself\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Essence Rare that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. Because it is a spray, the perfume spreads on skin the same way it would from the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Houbigant Essence Rare 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. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no audience on file for Essence Rare, which leaves it open to anyone curious. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Houbigant Essence Rare as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou learn more from three wearings of Houbigant Essence Rare than from thirty opinions about it. 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.\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 Houbigant Essence Rare 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 does this page list no notes?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo note list is on record with us for Houbigant Essence Rare, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I try Essence Rare next to other samples?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houbigant","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67705728041114,"sku":"DG-HOU-ESSENCE-RARE-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67705728073882,"sku":"DG-HOU-ESSENCE-RARE-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67705728106650,"sku":"DG-HOU-ESSENCE-RARE-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/houbigant-essence-rare-sample.jpg?v=1791508776","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/houbigant-essence-rare-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
