Sangria Oak

There's a discounter/decanter retail site that always tosses in a few free Precious Liquid samples in a shipment. Up to now my impression of Precious Liquid perfumes are that of a person who tells you they’re really into wine and then pours you a glass of Barefoot Moscato. The precious liquid name whispers promises of opulence, but the juice inside often smells like someone dunked a used cotton ball in diluted hand soap and called it luxury. And then came along a single sample of Sangria Oak. After the initial used cotton ball marinating in rubbing alcohol opening note passes, there emerges a juicy, sun-ripened fruit soaked in bright yet mellow red sangria. I didn’t think it would smell this good, but here we are, completely hooked, and slightly in awe. There's a quiet August evening confidence to this fragrance as it lingers close, rewarding those who come near me with a refined blend of fruit, wood, and warmth - even heading into the seventh post spritzed hour. Now they need to work on their presentation because these perfume bottles can be easily confused with the typical higher-end witch hazel bottles you may find at your local pharmacy.

Take note - this one smells fantastic. True to the name, the scent is a Sangria made with rich, smooth red wine and dark, subtly sweet fruits. Hints of spice and oak add complexity and balance. It’s a scent that teased me into smelling my wrist over and over. While I’d say it leans a little masculine, a woman could definitely make it work. The sample was from the discovery set, so I only applied a few sprays, but the projection was decent and lasted a few hours. It was definitely my favorite, though there were a few other interesting ones that I need more time with.

Who ever suggest is smells like ganymade has no nose. This smells really good the fruity ness with the booziness mixes so well and stays strong for most of the perfumes performance. The sangria and rum are very sensational and it’s blended so well, wore this is high heat and it’s not bad but it’s more for spring or summer night fragrance, and surprisingly it’s not too fruity 8/10 smell and performance, Must try! Btw the other comments are very accurate to the smell

Oh my, what a delicious red wine scent. It's plummy, with a dark cherry flair that feels fermented and not too dressed up for a perfume. Whispers of smoky oak casks with that raw, Ganymede-esque leather accord by way of saffron. The rum is a bit bracing, warm, and slightly spiced with a pinch of baked cardamom. One of Herpin's best, but it doesn't feel bright enough for a sangria.It feels more merlot when the bright citruses burn off.

Put simply - one of the best fragrances you can find. Ganymede Eau Fraiche. At $275, it’s a steal. Stunning.
