Orange, passionfruit and frangipani on vanilla
Part of FragranceGems' own Mykonos line, Marbella is an Extrait de Parfum that opens with orange, lemon, passionfruit and mango, moves to frangipani, solar notes and blackcurrant, and ends on vanilla, benzoin, musk and labdanum. A summery fruit top over a resinous vanilla base is a mix best checked on your own skin, so a 10 ml decant is a sensible first step.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Orange and lemon give a bright citrus frame, and passionfruit and mango add tropical juiciness. It is a loud, sunny start, and the interesting question is how long that brightness holds before the heart takes over on your skin.
Frangipani brings a creamy, tropical flower, the solar notes add a warm, skin-like glow, and blackcurrant gives a tart, dark-fruit contrast. This is where Marbella moves from fruit to flowers, and where you will decide whether the shift is smooth for you.
The base blends vanilla and benzoin for a soft, balsamic sweetness, musk for a clean skin feel, and labdanum for a darker resinous depth. It is a warm, enveloping finish. Smell your skin again late in the day to judge whether it feels cosy or too heavy for summer.
Testing it
Marbella is listed for summer, so test it in warm weather on clean skin. Notice the fruit in the first few minutes and the vanilla and resin later on. Wear it once for the day and once for the evening, and compare which setting suits it better.
FragranceGems tags Marbella as unisex and strong, for summer, and for daily and evening wear. It suits someone who loves tropical fruit and sunny flowers and does not mind a resinous vanilla base. If you prefer dry or green scents, expect something rounder and sweeter.
Summer perfumes with a resinous base can turn out airy or thick, depending on the skin. Marbella is one of FragranceGems' own Mykonos perfumes, and this vial is filled by us from the original bottle and labelled by us. The full bottle sits behind the link on this page.

FragranceGems lists it for summer, with the extrait strength tagged strong. The sample shows how it feels in your own climate.
Solar notes aim to suggest warm skin and sunshine rather than a single ingredient. Whether the effect works for you is easy to judge on a sunny day.
Mykonos is one of FragranceGems' own perfume lines, and Marbella belongs to it. The decant is filled from that same bottle.
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 spans 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.
