Fragrance notes
Fragrance family: Woody Aromatic. Top notes: cardamom. Heart notes: violet. Base notes: guaiac wood. Shanghai opens with a warm, peppery-spiced cardamom that invites intrigue without overpowering, followed by a refined, powdery violet heart that adds a touch of classic elegance. The scent settles into a smooth, resinous base of guaiac wood, delivering a lasting, sophisticated warmth. The overall profile blends spice, floral nuance, and wooden integrity to create a versatile fragrance that feels contemporary yet timeless. Subtle nuances weave through the dry-down, enriching the scent with a quiet complexity suitable for both day and night wear.
Additional nuances include a clean, slightly translucent spice that never veers toward heaviness, and a velvety floral softness from violet that keeps the fragrance approachable in close environments. The guaiac wood base provides a durable, woody foundation with a refined, almost suede-like finish that lingers without overpowering the room or the wearer.
