Saffron, oud and Bulgarian rose on sugarcane
Pendora Scents Noir d'Arabie is a Parfum that opens with saffron and bergamot, puts oud next to Bulgarian rose in the heart, and ends on tonka bean, sugarcane, amber, white musk and oakmoss. FragranceGems calls it warm, oriental and deep. The mix of dark wood, rose and a sweet base is one to wear before you settle on a bottle.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Only two notes open the pyramid. Saffron brings its warm, slightly leathery spice, bergamot a bright, bitter-citrus lift. It is a short top, so smell your wrist at once; the lift is soon absorbed into the heart, and what follows is a different mood.
At the heart sits an oud and rose pair. Rose gives softness and fragrance, oud the dark, woody depth, and the contrast between the two is the centre of this perfume. How loud the oud feels is a matter of your skin, and this is where you will notice it.
The base has five notes. Tonka bean and sugarcane sweeten, amber warms, white musk smooths, and oakmoss adds a lightly earthy edge. FragranceGems describes the result as warm, sweet and slightly earthy. Smell your sleeve the next morning to hear what is left.
Testing it
Choose a cool evening and apply it to clean skin, since the tags say strong. Smell your wrist when it goes on, then after you have put on your coat, then again when you get home. If the sweetness seems too much, try another day with less on a single wrist.
For people drawn to oud and rose who like a warm, slightly sweet finish and a perfume for evenings and special occasions. The listing names autumn and winter, so it suits colder months. If you have never worn oud, the smaller sizes make a gentle first meeting.
Oud and rose together make a perfume that is easy to admire in the abstract and harder to wear, and only wearing it settles the question. The vial is ours: filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, labelled by us, with Pendora Scents uninvolved.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

It is tagged strong and for evenings, so it is meant for occasions rather than the office. A sample tells you how it feels on your skin before you commit.
Sugarcane is listed in the base next to tonka bean and amber. It gives the base a soft sweetness that contrasts with the dark oud.
Both share the heart, with rose lending softness to the dark wood. FragranceGems describes the whole as warm and rich rather than harsh.
The brand
29 perfumes by Pendora Scents: that is our current list of samples from this house. The samples are our own decants: 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial, filled from the original bottle and labelled by us. Pendora Scents belongs to the Arabic perfume samples on DecantGems. Wearing a perfume for a few days is the fair way to judge it, and that is what a decant is for.

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.
