Ambrette, fig, orris and poppy
Pendora Scents Poppy Pulse is a Parfum with a short pyramid: ambrette and fig on top, orris root and poppy in the heart, tonka bean and heliotrope underneath. FragranceGems calls it floral, powdery and soft, tagged for women and for daily and evening wear. Powdery perfumes are subtle, and their effect depends heavily on the skin they sit on.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening has two notes, ambrette and fig. Ambrette is a plant seed with a soft, slightly musky and fruity smell. Together with fig it gives a gentle, understated start rather than a loud one. Smell your wrist directly and again a little later.
The heart is orris root and poppy. Orris, the dried root of the iris, is the powdery, slightly earthy ingredient that gives the perfume its character, and FragranceGems builds the floral side around it. Poppy adds a delicate flower note. This stage tells you whether you like powdery scents.
Tonka bean and heliotrope form the base, a soft, creamy finish according to FragranceGems. Heliotrope has an almond-like, powdery sweetness, and tonka adds warmth. Together they make a gentle end, best judged on a second day when the powder has settled.
Testing it
Try it on clean skin on a mild day in spring or autumn, and give it some time before you judge, as powdery scents develop slowly. Compare your wrist with your clothing later in the day. On a quiet day at home the orris and poppy are easier to notice than in a rush.
For people who enjoy soft, powdery florals and want a gentle scent for daily wear and the evening. It is tagged for women. If you usually prefer bold or sharp perfumes, the sample shows whether you would like something this quiet.
Orris and powder notes are among the most skin-dependent in perfumery, and a first impression may say very little. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in your hands you can come back to the powder on more than one day. The vial comes from our own decanting of the original bottle, under our label, and not from Pendora Scents.
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.

Orris root is the central note of the heart, and FragranceGems describes the scent as powdery. How powdery it feels is a matter of your skin.
Tonka bean and heliotrope give a soft, creamy sweetness at the end, while the top is ambrette and fig. It is gentle rather than sugary.
Ambrette is a plant seed used in perfumery for its soft, slightly musky character. It opens the pyramid together with fig.
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.

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.
