{"product_id":"mykonos-senja-sample","title":"Mykonos Senja Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eFragranceGems has its own house in Mykonos, and Senja is one of its strong Eau de Parfum perfumes. It opens with coffee and almond, moves to patchouli, chocolate and milk, and ends on sandalwood, chocolate, vetiver and cistus. Chocolate appears twice in this pyramid, so a 10 ml decant is a good way to see how a gourmand perfume with this shape behaves on you before the 50 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Coffee, Almond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Patchouli, Chocolate, Milk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandalwood, Chocolate, Vetiver, Cistus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCoffee and almond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee and almond start the perfume with a roasted, slightly bitter warmth and a nutty, marzipan-like softness. There are only two notes in the top, so the opening is simple and direct, and it makes clear within moments whether you enjoy coffee in a perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePatchouli, chocolate and milk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart combines patchouli, chocolate and milk. Chocolate gives the bittersweet centre, milk rounds it into something creamier, and patchouli adds earth so the whole does not tip into dessert. This is the stage where the gourmand character is strongest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSandalwood, chocolate, vetiver and cistus\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChocolate comes back in the base, now with sandalwood, vetiver and cistus. Sandalwood is creamy, vetiver dry and earthy, cistus resinous and amber-like. These keep the finish from being purely sweet and give it a woody depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it on an evening, which FragranceGems lists with daily wear and special occasions, applying to a clean forearm. Watch how the coffee gives way to chocolate and milk, and how the woods take over at the end. A second test on a cooler day is useful, as autumn and winter are the listed seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like gourmand perfumes with coffee and chocolate and a woody backbone. On FragranceGems it is listed as unisex and strong, for daily wear, evenings and special occasions, in autumn and winter. If you like coffee but dislike sweet scents, the sample shows how the vetiver and cistus balance it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mykonos Senja as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee, chocolate and milk in one perfume is a pairing that some people adore and others find too edible. This is our own Mykonos range, so there is no outside house to point to: FragranceGems fills the vial from the original bottle and labels it.
