What does Shantung smell like?

The top notes are Italian mandarin orange, blackcurrant and lychee, giving a fruity, bright opening. In the heart, peony and rose carry the floral side, while Somalian frankincense adds a spicy touch. The base of cashmere, musk and cedarwood softens everything and settles it on a woody ground.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Voters lean feminine on character, though some call it masculine. Altaia By Any Other Name and Sisley Izia have a close profile.
