{"product_id":"saphir-oui-intense-eau-de-parfum-200ml","title":"Oui Intense Eau de Parfum 200ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor evenings when the weather has turned and a light scent would simply disappear, Saphir Oui Intense Eau de Parfum 200ml is built with enough weight to hold its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack pepper is the first thing you notice, dry and prickly and immediately warming, which is an unusual way to begin a floral. Bergamot cuts underneath it with a clean bitterness and pear adds a juicy, green edged sweetness, so the opening is spicy and fruity at the same time and rather more interesting than either on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose and jasmine make the heart, and they are given room. The rose is full and slightly jammy rather than dry, jasmine is rich and heady beside it, and the black pepper from the opening lingers into this stage, keeping the pair from becoming a bouquet. It is a classic pairing handled generously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is unexpected is the base. Ylang ylang is listed at the bottom rather than in the middle, which is where you would normally find it, and it brings a creamy, faintly rubbery richness that pushes the dry down somewhere more tropical than the opening suggested. Cedarwood gives it dry structure underneath and vanilla sweetens the whole thing, so the final hours are warm, soft and quite enveloping. Eight materials, well spread across the three stages, and a bottle large enough that none of it has to be rationed. Cold evenings, dinners and nights out are where it belongs, and a light hand is wise, because intense is not an idle word here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name on the bottle belongs to a Spanish perfume company trading since 1940. Saphir started as Almacenes Corinto, a family run warehouse in Zaragoza, and it is Spanish owned from end to end, making every Saphir branded fragrance at its own Zaragoza factory and research centre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saphir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54165125038407,"sku":"ENG185743","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng185743.jpg?v=1781540645","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/saphir-oui-intense-eau-de-parfum-200ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
