{"product_id":"mykonos-bonfire-vanilla-sample","title":"Mykonos Bonfire Vanilla Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eMykonos Bonfire Vanilla is an Eau de Parfum from FragranceGems' own house, built around smoked wood, vanilla and burnt brown sugar, with clove, nutmeg and pink pepper on top and marshmallow and caramel in the base. A sweet and smoky perfume is a matter of taste, so a 10 ml decant is a fair first step before a full bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Clove, Nutmeg, Pink Pepper, Orange Zest, Vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Smoked Wood, Pepper, Guaiac Wood, Burnt Brown Sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Smoked Wood, Vanilla, Marshmallow, Caramel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpice and orange zest\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClove, nutmeg, pink pepper and orange zest start the perfume, with vanilla already present from the first spray. The spices give a dry warmth and the zest a thin line of brightness before the smoke arrives. Vanilla sitting in the top is unusual, so notice how early it shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmoke, pepper and burnt sugar\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart, smoked wood meets pepper, guaiac wood and burnt brown sugar. This is the stage that gives the perfume its fireside idea: dark wood and caramelised sugar sitting together. How smoky it feels depends on skin, so give it time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMarshmallow, caramel and vanilla\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base repeats smoked wood and vanilla and adds marshmallow and caramel. The result is soft and sweet at the very end, with the smoke remaining underneath. If you enjoy dessert-like warmth, this is the part to wait for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it on a cool evening, since FragranceGems files it as strong and for autumn and winter, and use less than you think you need. Notice how the clove opening gives way to smoke, then to caramel. A second try indoors and outdoors shows whether the smoke feels cosy or heavy to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like gourmand, oriental and woody perfumes and want a sweet one with a smoky side instead of plain vanilla. If marshmallow and caramel sound too sugary, the smoked wood and pepper in the middle may offset them, and the sample will tell you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mykonos Bonfire Vanilla as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet and smoky perfumes are a love-it-or-leave-it style, and a full bottle is a bigger bet than a vial. Mykonos is our own house, and the decant is filled from the original bottle at FragranceGems and labelled by us, so the perfume in it is the one in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it very sweet?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanilla, burnt brown sugar, marshmallow and caramel are all recorded, so sweetness is central. Smoked wood, clove and pepper are there to temper it, and the sample shows how the balance falls on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the smoke heavy?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmoked wood appears in both the heart and the base, so smoke is a theme and not a hint. FragranceGems rates the intensity as strong, so apply lightly the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich season suits it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAutumn and winter, evening and special occasions: that is how FragranceGems files it. A cool evening is the obvious first test, and a mild day shows whether it still feels comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mykonos","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693404029082,"sku":"DG-MYK-BONFIRE-VANILLA-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693404061850,"sku":"DG-MYK-BONFIRE-VANILLA-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693404094618,"sku":"DG-MYK-BONFIRE-VANILLA-010ML","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/mykonos-bonfire-vanilla-sample.jpg?v=1791495333","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/mykonos-bonfire-vanilla-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
