Description
“I was lost, aimless, and depressed. Now I’m only two of those things.”
-Gwen K. Vroomen
In 1980, Gwen K. Vroomen quit a monotonous job, went to the corner bar, and – on the bartender’s urging – threw a dart at a world map tacked on the wall. She had never heard of Goa but knew immediately she needed to go. Three months later she was celebrating Hindu New Year at a tea garden high in the hills of Kerala, fireworks exploding below. She wrote of that night: “I was resuscitated by color, redeemed by the vibrant unknown.” Her self-proclaimed “Journey out of darkness, ” dotted with unforgettable stories of night markets, river floats, and harrowing moped rides, inspired a generation of young Americans eager to buck the drudgery of ordinary life. With pops of rose and hits of saffron, this scent explodes on the skin and awakens the senses. Every inhale will open you up to the idea of escape, push you to take risks, and embolden you to get truly lost. Magical.

Important info: Here, we sell decants only. This item is a hand-decanted sample. The original bottle on the main picture is not for sale, it just shows the original bottle from which perfume will be decanted. Therefore, the customer will receive the authentic fragrance poured from original bottle into a new sterile vial. The size of the vial is your choice.
Fragrancesline specializes in providing meticulously prepared decants and samples from an extensive portfolio of fine fragrances. Our process ensures the integrity of each scent, as it is expertly transferred from the original flacon to a new, sterile glass atomizer. This service offers our clientele the opportunity to thoroughly trial a fragrance before committing to a full-size purchase, ensuring a confident and informed selection of their signature scent.

To help you explore our collection, we offer sample sizes of 1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 8ml and 10ml. The appearance of the bottles pictured above may vary slightly from the ones we are currently using for decanting; however, we guarantee that the volumes will always be as stated.
Please Note: Unlike our 2ml, 5ml, 8ml and 10ml bottles, our 1ml samples do not come with a spray. Instead, they are equipped with a small dabber wand for a more delicate application to the skin.
