What does Shimmering Shanghai smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, with longevity slightly ahead. These ratings come from only a small number of voters, so they are best read as a first impression rather than a firm measure. It does not lean towards either gender.

The top opens with bergamot, lychee and ylang-ylang, while jasmine and rose build the floral side. In the heart, peony, vanilla and tonka bean soften the scent. The base brings frankincense, cedar and vetiver for a smoky depth, and sugar and musk settle the sweetness into something creamy.
