Its recorded notes begin with pear, bergamot, ginger and mandarin orange, continue with pear again, orange blossom and jasmine, and end on amber, musk, vanilla, guaiac wood and ambroxan.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening gathers pear, bergamot, ginger and mandarin orange. Pear gives a soft, juicy fruitiness, the citruses add sparkle and ginger puts a small warm edge under them. Spray once and note how ripe or crisp the pear feels, since it comes back in the next stage.
In the heart the pear stays, now with orange blossom and jasmine. The two flowers give a creamy, honeyed floral shade to the fruit and carry the freshness into something rounder. Watch how the transition feels, and whether the flowers lead or support the pear.
The base lists amber, musk, vanilla, guaiac wood and ambroxan. Amber and vanilla bring warmth and sweetness, musk keeps it close, guaiac wood adds a smoky, tea-like dryness and ambroxan gives a salty glow. Smell your wrist late in the evening and decide if it is rich enough or too rich.
Testing it
FragranceGems tags Nautilus for daily use, evenings and special occasions, with summer as its season. Wear one or two sprays on a warm day and notice the fruit and flowers, then in the evening for the amber and vanilla. As an extrait it may stay closer to you, so smell your wrist.
For people who like fruity, floral and aquatic-leaning perfumes with a warm, ambery base and who plan to wear it mainly in summer. The tags on FragranceGems are unisex and strong. If you are unsure whether vanilla and amber feel too heavy for hot weather, the decant lets you check.
A summer perfume with a strong tag and a vanilla-amber base could be fresh or heavy depending on your skin, and the note list cannot tell you which. A decant of Nautilus, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, answers it in practice. The 100 ml bottle is sold at FragranceGems.

FragranceGems does: it fills a glass spray vial from its own Mykonos bottle and labels it. Mykonos is a FragranceGems house, so the sample comes from the same people who made the perfume.
The record names pear in the top and again in the heart. We keep both as recorded, so pear is a thread running through the first two stages before amber and vanilla take over.
FragranceGems tags it for summer and as strong, with amber, vanilla and guaiac wood in the base. A sample shows on your own skin whether it feels warm and pleasant or too much in the heat.
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
