{"product_id":"mykonos-dark-secret-sample","title":"Mykonos Dark Secret Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eMykonos is a house of FragranceGems itself, and Dark Secret is one of its Parfum compositions, listed as strong and unisex. Black cherry, saffron and bergamot open it; cinnamon, nutmeg, praline, marigold and jasmine fill the heart; sandalwood, tonka bean, amber and musk close it. A sweet, spiced scent like this deserves a trial 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 Black Cherry, Saffron, Bergamot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Praline, Cinnamon, Marigold, Nutmeg, Jasmine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Amber, Musk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCherry meets saffron\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack cherry gives the opening a deep, dark sweetness, and saffron cuts across it with a leathery, slightly metallic warmth. Bergamot keeps the first minutes from closing in. Expect a start of fruit and spice rather than a fresh one, which is worth knowing before you spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePraline and warm spice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart cinnamon and nutmeg bring warm spice, praline adds a nutty, creamy sweetness, and marigold and jasmine lay a soft floral layer over it. The mixture is thick and sweet. Some wearers enjoy that and some find it heavy, so this is the stage where the sample is most useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSandalwood, tonka, amber and musk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is built from sandalwood, tonka bean, amber and musk: creamy wood, a sweet almond-like softness, resinous warmth and a skin-like finish. Once the spice has calmed it leaves a warm, woody and slightly sweet trace close to the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose an evening or a cold day, since FragranceGems lists it for evenings and special occasions in autumn and winter. Apply a small amount to clean skin and come back after the cherry and saffron have eased. Test on at least two separate days, because sweet spiced perfumes shift with weather and skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor wearers who like sweet, spiced perfumes with a dark gourmand streak, in autumn and winter and for evenings out. FragranceGems lists it as unisex. If you prefer clean, airy scents it will probably feel too rich, and the decant shows you that before you choose a full bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mykonos Dark Secret as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDark Secret combines cherry, saffron and praline, a mix that is either exactly right or too much, and a description cannot decide that for you. Mykonos belongs to FragranceGems, so the decant comes from a bottle we know well: we fill the glass spray vial ourselves and put our own label on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Dark Secret very sweet?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCherry, praline, tonka bean and amber all lean sweet, while saffron, cinnamon and nutmeg add spice against it.
