{"product_id":"rayhaan-terra-sample","title":"Rayhaan Terra Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eRayhaan Terra is an Eau de Parfum with a long, spiced pyramid: bergamot, lemon, cardamom, elemi and Sichuan pepper on top, a heart of patchouli, coriander, anise, cumin, saffron, geranium, orange blossom, wormwood and rose, and a base of incense, vanilla, amber, benzoin, oud, birchwood, musk and ambergris. A list this long cannot be judged by reading, so a 10 ml decant is the way in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Bergamot, Lemon, Cardamom, Elemi, Sichuan Pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Patchouli, Coriander, Anise, Cumin, Saffron, Geranium, Orange Blossom, Wormwood, Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Incense, Vanilla, Amber, Benzoin, Oud, Birchwood, Musk, Ambergris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA fresh, peppery opening\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBergamot and lemon give the brightness, and cardamom, elemi and Sichuan pepper add a resinous, peppery tingle.

Incense, oud and birchwood give smoke and resin, while vanilla, amber and benzoin soften it. Check your skin late in the evening to see where that mixture settles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerra is tagged for winter evenings and special occasions, so test it on a cold evening on clean skin. Smell it early for the pepper, mid-evening for the spice and the flowers and late for the smoke and resin. A second evening in a different setting helps to confirm your first impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragranceGems tags Terra as unisex and strong, for winter, and for evenings and special occasions.
