Red fruit and vanilla with a sweet, spicy heart
Pendora Scents Toxic Heart opens, in the FragranceGems record, with a bouquet of red fruit: wild strawberry, strawberry, blackberry and raspberry. The heart is described only as fruity, sweet and spicy, and the base names vanilla, cedarwood, tonka bean and fir balsam. A dark fruit perfume with a sweet base is a strong taste, so a sample comes first.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top note list is all berries: wild strawberry, strawberry, blackberry and raspberry. Together they should give a ripe, mixed-berry impression with both sweet and sharp sides. Notice early whether it reads as juicy or as syrupy on your skin.
FragranceGems names no individual notes for the heart, only its character: fruity, sweet and spicy. We keep it exactly that way. When you test it, listen for where the berries fade and the spice begins, and decide for yourself what you would call it.
The base of vanilla, cedarwood, tonka bean and fir balsam brings warmth, wood and a resinous edge. Fir balsam is the unusual name here, a conifer resin that gives the sweetness a woody, balsamic side.
Testing it
Because it is a strong perfume with sweet notes, try it in the evening in autumn or winter, with a small amount on the wrist. Compare the first stage on a clean wrist with the later stage on the next day's sleeve. If you like it, test it once more in a different setting before choosing a bigger size.
For people who enjoy fruity gourmands with a dark, spicy and woody base, for evenings and special occasions in the colder months. On FragranceGems it is filed under unisex and strong. If you usually find berry perfumes too bright, the vanilla and cedar base may be what balances this one for you.
Red fruit perfumes rarely turn out as the list suggests: berries can become jammy, sharp or candied depending on skin. This berry-and-vanilla vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. The berry-and-vanilla decant is not an official brand sample, and Pendora Scents has no say in the filling.
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.

FragranceGems describes the heart only as fruity, sweet and spicy and names no materials, so we list none. We prefer an honest gap to a guess.
Berries and vanilla point to sweetness, and FragranceGems calls the heart sweet as well. The cedarwood and fir balsam in the base are the counterweight, and a sample shows how much they hold it back.
Both labels are on it at FragranceGems, together with oriental and woody. In practice the berries lead, and the vanilla and tonka bean give the dessert side.
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.
