{"product_id":"saphir-the-last-man-eau-de-parfum-200ml","title":"The Last Man Eau de Parfum 200ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCocoa in the base is the detail that makes Saphir The Last Man Eau de Parfum 200ml worth a second look, and it is handled dry rather than as a sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe start is sharp. Black pepper is prickly and warming, bergamot is clean and bitter beside it, and the two of them make an opening with real bite, the kind that announces a men's fragrance within seconds of leaving the atomiser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe middle is aromatic rather than floral. Cedarwood brings a dry, clean, sawn timber crispness, and sage adds a silvery herbal bitterness that keeps everything taut. There is no sweetness at all at this stage, which makes the turn that follows more effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the base does sweeten, carefully. Cocoa is the unusual material, and in perfumery it is dusty and bitter more than it is sugary, closer to the powder in the tin than to anything you would eat. Tonka bean sits beside it, soft, powdery and faintly bitter itself, and amber supplies a resinous warmth underneath. The three together make a dry down that is warm and slightly dusty, and it holds on a coat for a very long time. Seven materials, a proper structure and a clear season. This is a cold weather fragrance for men, it suits evenings far better than mornings, and the 200ml format makes it an affordable everyday option for anyone who wears this style all winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe firm that makes it, Saphir, has been in Spanish perfumery since 1940, when the family warehouse Almacenes Corinto in Zaragoza turned to fragrance. It is still Spanish owned, still manufacturing in Zaragoza at a plant with its own research centre, and still aiming at perfume people can afford to use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saphir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54466622357831,"sku":"ENG201208","price":35.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng201208.jpg?v=1785380341","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/saphir-the-last-man-eau-de-parfum-200ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
