What does Shangri La (2014) smell like?

It opens on citrus notes, and the heart brings peach, jasmine, iris, rose and spices together. The sweet, fruity side melts into the florals, while vetiver and oakmoss underneath give it a classic chypre backbone and a faint animal warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is most often matched to nights out and evenings. Though unisex, the largest share of votes calls it feminine. Guerlain Royal Extract and Esteban Classic Chypre have a close profile.
