{"product_id":"saphir-utur-al-yaqut-marwan-parfum-100ml","title":"Utur Al-Yaqut Marwan Eau de Parfum 100ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrapefruit, jasmine and guaiac wood. Those three are the whole of Utur Al-Yaqut Marwan Eau de Parfum 100ml, and the interest is in how far apart they sit from each other. Grapefruit goes on bitter and slightly sulphurous in the good way, sharper and less friendly than orange or lemon would be. Jasmine blooms up through it with a sweet, heady, almost fleshy quality that argues with the grapefruit rather than agreeing with it. Then guaiac wood takes the base and turns everything dry, smoked and resinous, more like a cold fireplace than like a forest. Three materials, three completely different registers, and the scent moves between them in clear steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt reads masculine mostly because of the guaiac wood, but the jasmine means plenty of women wear this kind of thing happily. Spring and autumn suit it better than deep winter. It is a daytime bottle more than an evening one, and the grapefruit is bright enough that one spray on a shirt and one on the neck is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJasmine recurs across this range, but guaiac wood is in this bottle and no other, so nothing else here smells of smoke in quite the same way. A 30ml bottle of Marwan is sold at 24 euro and is the better opening move with something this particular, while the large bottle is for when you already know the answer. Saphir, which makes it, began in 1940 as Almacenes Corinto, a family warehouse in the Spanish city of Zaragoza, and it has been making and distributing fragrance ever since. The company is Spanish owned throughout, and its own ranges like this one are sold alongside the licensed designer fragrances it also produces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saphir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54328462606663,"sku":"ENG220718","price":33.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng220718.jpg?v=1783830910","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/saphir-utur-al-yaqut-marwan-parfum-100ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
