Eau de Toilette

Parfums Chypron Shahi Eau de Toilette is a sweet, floral women's scent that ties rose, ylang-ylang and jasmine to the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though with so few votes these ratings are a first impression rather than a firm verdict. Made for women, it sits on the richer, more formal side, with a powdery, oriental manner. It opens with bergamot and tangerine adding fruity brightness, while rosewood and tagetes pull it slightly towards green and spice. The heart builds a dense bouquet of tuberose, orange blossom, violet and carnation. In the base, vanilla, benzoin, heliotrope and cedarwood close it out sweet, powdery and woody in a chypre mood. Giorgio Beverly Hills Giorgio and Elizabeth Arden Red Door have a close profile.
