Pear and melon over soft wood, moss and caramel
In the Mykonos range of FragranceGems sits Monaco Royale, an Extrait de Parfum. The recorded notes are pear, melon and green notes on top, soft wood and cedarwood in the heart, and moss, caramel and musk in the base. Juicy fruit over wood and a touch of caramel is not an obvious mix, so a 10 ml decant is the right way to meet it.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening is fruit with a green edge: pear and melon, joined by green notes. It should smell juicy and fresh rather than sugary. The first minutes show you whether this watery fruitiness is what you hoped for or whether it feels too light for an extrait.
The heart is short and woody: soft wood and cedarwood. After the fruit, this gives the perfume a dry, quiet middle. It is a good moment to see how the scent changes character once the juicy start has gone, and whether the wood feels smooth or pencil-like on you.
The base brings moss, caramel and musk together. Moss adds a green, earthy depth, caramel a trace of sweetness and musk a clean, close finish. Smell your wrist in the evening and judge whether the caramel stays a quiet touch or comes through more strongly on your skin.
Testing it
Put the decant on clean skin on a mild day in spring or summer, as FragranceGems tags it, and wear it to work or for an evening. Smell it at the start, once the wood arrives and later when the moss and musk remain. Wear it a second time on a warmer day to see whether the fruit gets sweeter.
For people who like fruity-green perfumes with a woody backbone and do not need a heavy, sweet scent, and who prefer to wear one fragrance from morning into evening. FragranceGems lists it as unisex. If caramel in perfume puts you off, the sample shows quickly how small a part it plays here.
Fruit, wood and moss in one extrait is a combination that changes with the weather and the wearer. As a Mykonos perfume it belongs to our own range, and the decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. If you like it, the full bottle is available from FragranceGems.

The sample is 10 ml of Monaco Royale in a glass spray vial, which FragranceGems fills from the original bottle and labels itself. Mykonos is one of FragranceGems' own houses, so the original bottle is ours too.
Caramel is one of three base notes, next to moss and musk, and the opening is pear, melon and green notes. How sweet it feels depends on your skin, which the sample will show.
Spring and summer are its tagged seasons at FragranceGems, together with daily, work and evening use. Wearing the decant in those months gives the clearest view of how it behaves.
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.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
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.
