What does Shanghai 1930 smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall next and winter the least chosen. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also gets votes for the office and evenings. Most voters read it as feminine, though many call it modern.
Green tea, bergamot and violet leaf give the top its freshness, while cinnamon adds spice and mango and plum bring a fruity sweetness. In the heart, champaca, jasmine sambac, tuberose and magnolia form a full floral bouquet. It settles into a softer, sweeter base of myrrh, sandalwood, vanilla and musk.
