{"product_id":"mykonos-aphrodite-sample","title":"Mykonos Aphrodite Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eAphrodite is the Mykonos Extrait de Parfum that opens with jasmine, burnt cinnamon and myrrh, moves into cedarwood, tonka bean and sandalwood, and ends on white musk, tobacco, vanilla and mineral amber. Mykonos is one of FragranceGems' own perfume lines. Burnt spice and white flowers over tobacco make a rich mix, which makes a 10 ml decant the sensible way in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Jasmine, Burnt Cinnamon, Myrrh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e White Musk, Tobacco, Vanilla, Mineral Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJasmine meets burnt cinnamon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJasmine and burnt cinnamon share the opening, with myrrh adding a dark resin. A floral note against a charred, sweet spice is an unusual start, and it is worth noticing whether the jasmine or the cinnamon leads on your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWoods and tonka in the heart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedarwood and sandalwood give the heart a dry and a creamy wood, and tonka bean adds a sweet, almond-like warmth. The heart is where the perfume turns from spicy to woody, so smell your skin again at that point. Take note of which of the two woods stays with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhite musk, tobacco and vanilla\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base sets white musk and tobacco beside vanilla and mineral amber. Musk keeps things clean, tobacco adds a dry, smoky leaf, vanilla warms it, and the amber lends a faintly stony glow. Judge it late in the evening, when only this base remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAphrodite is listed for autumn and winter evenings and for special occasions. Wear it on a cool evening on clean skin, and check it again as the evening goes on. Try it once more at a different occasion and compare how the spice and the tobacco come across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn FragranceGems this is a unisex, strong extrait for autumn and winter evenings and special occasions. It suits someone who likes dark, warm perfumes with floral and spicy accents and wants an extrait for the cooler months. If you like fresh and light, it will feel heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mykonos Aphrodite as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBurnt spice, myrrh and tobacco together are a rich blend, and it is wiser to try it than to imagine it.

How that pairs with jasmine is best judged on your own skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the tobacco heavy?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTobacco sits in the base next to vanilla and white musk. FragranceGems tags the perfume as strong, so apply with care when you first test it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Aphrodite only an evening perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragranceGems lists evening and special occasions.
