Citrus and ginger over neroli, black tea and guaiac
The Extrait de Parfum Inception belongs to Mykonos, which FragranceGems owns itself. It opens with bergamot, ginger, orange and lemon, passes through neroli, cinnamon, black tea and biga flower, and ends on guaiac wood, musk, cedarwood and Lorenox. Four fresh notes over a tea-and-spice heart make for a layered build, which a 10 ml decant lets you learn by wearing it.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top is made of citrus, bergamot, orange and lemon, with ginger added for warmth. It is a bright, clean opening. Because three of the four notes are citrus, it should feel crisp first and then warm up as the ginger comes forward, so give it a few minutes before judging.
The heart blends neroli, a clean orange-blossom floral, with cinnamon for spice, black tea for a dry, slightly tannic note and a note called biga flower. This is the most layered stretch, and the stage where the sample tells you the most about whether the tea and spice combination suits you.
The base has guaiac wood, musk and cedarwood, with Lorenox as named in the recorded list. Guaiac and cedar give a dry, smoky wood, and musk keeps it close. Smell your wrist in the evening and see whether the dry wood fits the lively opening or whether you wanted more sweetness.
Testing it
Apply the decant on clean skin on a mild day, as FragranceGems tags it for spring and summer, and wear it to work or for an evening. Smell it at the start, when the tea and cinnamon arrive and in the evening when the wood remains. A second day lets you check how the citrus behaves in warmer or cooler weather.
For people who like a fresh citrus extrait with some spice and tea in it, and who want a dry woody finish rather than a sweet one. FragranceGems lists it as unisex. If you prefer your citrus perfumes light and simple, the sample shows quickly whether this layered build is more than you need.
A layered extrait with tea, cinnamon and guaiac wood can change a lot between morning and evening, and that is easier to judge on skin than in a description. Because Mykonos is our own range, we fill the decant ourselves from the original bottle and label it. The 100 ml bottle is on FragranceGems if it convinces you.

The sample is 10 ml of Inception in a glass spray vial, decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by our team. Mykonos belongs to the houses that FragranceGems runs itself, so the decant stays within our own range.
It opens fresh with bergamot, orange and lemon, and ends dry with guaiac wood and cedarwood. In between sit neroli, cinnamon and black tea. The sample shows how that arc feels on you.
FragranceGems tags it for work, daily wear and evenings, in spring and summer. Wearing the decant on a normal working day is the most direct test.
The brand
Mykonos is an Indonesian perfume house with a Mediterranean name. Its motto is "Born in Indonesia. Built for the world", the perfumes are produced in Indonesia and most of them are Extrait de Parfum, with a few Eau de Parfum. The range in Europe counts 49 perfumes across six scent families. A sample is the easiest way to find out which of those families suits your skin before you choose a 50 ml or 100 ml bottle.

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.
