{"product_id":"mykonos-monaco-royale-sample","title":"Mykonos Monaco Royale Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Pear, Melon, Green Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Soft Wood, Cedarwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Moss, Caramel, Musk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePear, melon and green notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoft wood and cedarwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMoss, caramel and musk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mykonos Monaco Royale as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFruit, wood and moss in one extrait is a combination that changes with the weather and the wearer.

If you like it, the full bottle is available from FragranceGems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat do I get with the Monaco Royale sample?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sample is 10 ml of Monaco Royale in a glass spray vial, which FragranceGems fills from the original bottle and labels itself.
