{"product_id":"alvarez-gomez-yacht-marine-eau-de-parfum-gift-set","title":"Yacht Marine Eau de Parfum Gift Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlvarez Gómez Yacht Marine Eau de Parfum Gift Set is the version to buy when the fragrance is going to somebody else, and it is a better present than the name might lead you to expect, because the scent inside is nothing like the breezy aquatic the label suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe box holds a 150ml Eau de Toilette and a 30ml spray. It starts cold, which is the first surprise. Mint is cool and faintly peppery, bergamot is clean and bright beside it, and black pepper adds a dry prickle over the top of the pair. Anyone opening the box and trying it on the spot will get that bracing first impression and assume they already know exactly what they have been given.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen it changes. Labdanum comes in sticky and resinous with a faintly leathery depth to it, jasmine softens that with a rich white floral sweetness, and underneath the pair sit frankincense, dry and smoky, oakmoss, damp and bitter and earthy, and patchouli darker still, with ginger running a line of dry warmth between them. Nine materials, and a drydown that has almost nothing in common with the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat makes it a good gift for somebody who already wears fragrance and will notice the turn when it comes, rather than for somebody who wants one simple smell that stays the same from morning to night. It is the sort of bottle that gets talked about an hour after it has been put on. It is masculine, it suits autumn and winter evenings, and it rewards being worn regularly rather than kept back for best and forgotten in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maker is a Spanish house founded in 1899, when three young men from León in the aroma trade set up shop at Calle Sevilla 2 in Madrid, and it is still family owned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvarez Gómez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53300644872519,"sku":"ENG189925","price":46.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/V0VlVjIrMEczb0J4ZEY4d1lSK3VuNFJ3WjVZbXdNVUtMdXR0dTU2T2ZRcGs1U2NYWStvODk0V1o3NDgrWWkrVQ2.jpg?v=1770624711","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/alvarez-gomez-yacht-marine-eau-de-parfum-gift-set","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
