{"product_id":"pendora-scents-toxic-heart-sample","title":"Pendora Scents Toxic Heart Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003ePendora 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Wild Strawberry, Strawberry, Blackberry, Raspberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanilla, Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, Fir Balsam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFour red fruits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA fruity, sweet and spicy heart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragranceGems 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVanilla, cedarwood, tonka bean, fir balsam\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Pendora Scents Toxic Heart as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy are the heart notes missing here?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragranceGems 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Toxic Heart very sweet?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBerries 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it a gourmand or a fruity perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pendora Scents","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67705665880218,"sku":"DG-PSC-TOXIC-HEART-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67705665912986,"sku":"DG-PSC-TOXIC-HEART-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67705665945754,"sku":"DG-PSC-TOXIC-HEART-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/pendora-scents-toxic-heart-sample.jpg?v=1791501638","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/pendora-scents-toxic-heart-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
