Sphinx Damascena Sample
Damascena by Sphinx, as a decant
Damascena is a perfume from Sphinx. We have no note list on record for it, so we describe nothing we cannot back up. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Without a pyramid
For Sphinx Damascena no note list is on record with us. We only print notes we can trace to a source, so this page names none; wear it and judge. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
-
How on request works
Sphinx Damascena is listed so that you can ask for it. Send the form on this page and your interest is noted; we do not name a date. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.

The vial
Your sample of Sphinx Damascena is a decant: the perfume is taken from the original bottle by FragranceGems and filled into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml. The vial carries our own label. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
With no season on file for Sphinx Damascena, the fair test is simply several different days. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide.
Who it is for
No audience is on record for Sphinx Damascena, and a perfume does not check who wears it anyway. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own.
Why try Sphinx Damascena as a sample first
The same perfume can be a favourite on one person and a miss on the next, which is the whole case for testing Damascena first. 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.

Frequently asked
Is this a sample made by Sphinx?
No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Damascena from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Sphinx Damascena, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
How do I test Damascena properly?
Spray 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.

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.
