Voters rate Shirley's longevity and sillage as good, though with few votes this reading is tentative. It does not lean toward either gender and reads comfortably on anyone.
As a whole the scent is green and earthy: oakmoss, vetiver and patchouli give it depth, while basil and tomato leaf absolute bring freshness and a leafy bite. Sandalwood and orris root lay a woody, slightly powdery base, and cannabis and palo santo fruit add an unusual tint to the green. Milano Fragranze Derby and Privata Vetiver & Pachulí have a close profile.
