{"product_id":"saphir-the-best-eau-de-parfum-200ml","title":"The Best Eau de Parfum 200ml","description":"\u003cp\u003ePink pepper, cashmeran and musk is the whole of Saphir The Best Eau de Parfum 200ml, which makes it one of the most modern things the house produces, precisely because there is so little in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePink pepper opens, and it behaves nothing like the darker spice its name borrows. It is bright, lightly fruity and a little fizzy, sparkling in a way that belongs as much to fruit as to spice, and it gives the first ten minutes a lift that is sharp without being harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCashmeran is the heart and the real subject of the fragrance. It is a single synthetic material rather than a flower or a spice, and it smells warm, dry and softly musky with a hint of spice buried in it. Perfumers reach for it when they want something to feel smooth and contemporary, and in a composition this spare it is given the whole middle to itself, which is rare and rather interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusk finishes it, quiet and soft and skin close, extending the cashmeran rather than changing it. Three materials, and it wears like what it is: a clean, warm, close fitting scent with no narrative at all. If you like the modern minimal style, where a fragrance is a texture rather than a story, this is a very cheap way of owning one in quantity. It reads unisex, it works year round, and it will not trouble anybody in a lift. Projection is moderate rather than loud, which is the usual trade for this sort of composition, and longevity is better than the short note list would suggest, because both of the materials under the opening are built to last on skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpain is where this is made, by Saphir, a company that has been in fragrance since 1940. It began as a family warehouse in Zaragoza called Almacenes Corinto, has remained Spanish owned, and produces everything under its own name at a Zaragoza plant that includes a research centre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saphir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54328462442823,"sku":"ENG185746","price":35.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng185746.jpg?v=1783830885","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/saphir-the-best-eau-de-parfum-200ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
