{"product_id":"paris-corner-qissa-blue-eau-de-parfum-100ml","title":"Qissa Blue Eau de Parfum 100ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeather and incense in the top row rather than the bottom is the first clue that Paris Corner Qissa Blue Eau de Parfum 100ml is not the light blue fragrance the name suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix materials share the opening and they pull in several directions at once. Bergamot and lemon give the citrus brightness, artemisia a grey bitter herbal edge, ylang ylang a creamy floral richness, and then leather and incense arrive underneath them, dry and smoky, from the first spray onwards. It is a crowded start and more interesting for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe middle is busy too. Ginger adds a dry prickle, orange a soft sweetness, jasmine and magnolia a clean floral lift, and patchouli begins the slide towards earth that the base will finish. Nothing holds the centre for long, and the fragrance moves along at a decent pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour materials close it out and they are well chosen. Amber is warm and resinous, saffron metallic and faintly bitter, oakmoss damp and genuinely mossy, and musk soft underneath the lot. The finish is dry, a little smoky and rather elegant, and it is the part of it worth paying for. Fifteen materials in total, with heavy projection through the first two hours and good longevity after it. Autumn and winter suit it best, it works for evenings and for the office in cold weather, and it reads as masculine without ever being aggressive about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParis Corner sits behind the bottle, a Middle Eastern company whose brands are all its own. North Stag, Pendora and Emir belong to it, no designer name is licensed for any of them, and a composition with this much in it reaches the shelf cheaply as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paris Corner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332866101575,"sku":"BTS376326","price":31.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/bts376326.webp?v=1783942846","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/paris-corner-qissa-blue-eau-de-parfum-100ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
