{"product_id":"mykonos-marbella-sample","title":"Mykonos Marbella Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Orange, Lemon, Passionfruit, Mango\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Frangipani, Solar Notes, Blackcurrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanilla, Benzoin, Musk, Labdanum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA fruit basket opening\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrange 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrangipani, sun and blackcurrant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrangipani 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVanilla, benzoin, musk and labdanum\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarbella 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragranceGems 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mykonos Marbella as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummer perfumes with a resinous base can turn out airy or thick, depending on the skin.
