{"product_id":"alvarez-gomez-platino-homme-eau-de-parfum-150ml","title":"Platino Homme Eau de Parfum 150ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe value argument is straightforward with Alvarez Gómez Platino Homme Eau de Parfum 150ml. It is a simple, well made fragrance sold in a bottle large enough that you never need to be careful with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive materials build it. Lemon is the only thing at the top, sharp and clean and gone within the half hour. In the middle there is lavender and nothing else, herbal with a faint powderiness, settling the lemon down and lending the whole thing its familiar grooming shelf character. Then the base does the real work with three materials pulling together: patchouli for a damp earthiness, vetiver for a dry rooty bitterness, and oakmoss for a green, bark like dampness that smells of a forest floor. The effect is a fragrance that begins bright and tidy and ends up genuinely dark and dry. Because the base is the longest part of the wearing, the eau de parfum concentration counts for something here. There is enough oil to keep the mossy finish going for most of a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is meant for men and it is about as adaptable as a fragrance gets: work, weekends, warm weather and cold. The 150ml size suits that sort of daily wear far better than a small bottle would, since this is not a fragrance you will be saving for occasions. The one caution is the oakmoss, which gives the last hours a damp, green character that not everybody enjoys. If that is unfamiliar territory, try a smaller bottle before buying this much of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Spanish perfumery, Madrid based and family held, Alvarez Gómez traces itself to a shop at Calle Sevilla 2 that opened in 1899. The three young men who opened it had come from Leon hoping to work with scent. A factory and a national reach were added in the 1990s, and the firm is in its fourth generation today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvarez Gómez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53297371414855,"sku":"BTS284502","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng162812.jpg?v=1770519818","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/alvarez-gomez-platino-homme-eau-de-parfum-150ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
