{"product_id":"reef-43-sample","title":"Reef 43 Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere Reef 43, a perfume, is listed as a sample of 2, 5 or 10 ml. On paper it is built around Cedar and Leather. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCedar, Leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the listing names\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Reef 43, FragranceGems names Cedar and Leather. No order is recorded, which means the sample is the way to find out what comes first and what remains. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScent family\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a family, FragranceGems gives oriental and woody for Reef 43. Read that as a rough direction before you try it. Its strength is listed as strong. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the sample is made\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For 43 that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe season tags for Reef 43 say autumn and winter. Use that as a starting point for your first wearing. FragranceGems files it under evenings and special occasions. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to FragranceGems, 43 is for everyone (unisex). Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Reef 43 as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sample of 43 answers the two things that matter: whether you like it, and whether you still like it on the fifth wearing. It is our own decant from the original bottle, labelled by us. This is not an official brand sample and the house is not involved. And if 43 wins you over, FragranceGems carries the full bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does the sample look like?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply 43 the way you normally would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy are the notes not split into top, heart and base?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the record for Reef 43 gives one flat list: Cedar and Leather. We print notes exactly as recorded and never sort them into a pyramid ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow do I test 43 properly?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reef","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67706540785818,"sku":"DG-REE-43-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67706540818586,"sku":"DG-REE-43-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67706540851354,"sku":"DG-REE-43-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/reef-43-sample.jpg?v=1791508815","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/reef-43-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
