Wear Cypress Shade first, decide later
Cypress Shade is a perfume from The House of Oud. There is no recorded pyramid on this page, because we only print notes we can trace. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

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!
On the skin
Our record for Cypress Shade stops at brand and name. Notes, families and seasons are left out here because we cannot verify them. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
The House of Oud Cypress Shade has the status on request. The page is here so you can tell us you are interested; the sizes open up once we can fill the sample. We make no promise about timing. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Cypress Shade from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.
Testing it
Nothing on record ties Cypress Shade to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.
Who Cypress Shade is aimed at is not on record with us. If The House of Oud is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving.
You learn more from three wearings of The House of Oud Cypress Shade than from thirty opinions about it. To be clear, this is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants it from the original bottle and puts its own label on the vial; The House of Oud plays no role.
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.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
It 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 Cypress Shade the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for The House of Oud Cypress Shade, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Cypress Shade as it was when we filled it.
The brand
From The House of Oud you find 35 perfumes here, each as a decant. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. In our shop The House of Oud sits with the niche perfume samples. A few small vials tell you more about a house than one large bottle chosen on a guess.

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.
