The story

Shanghai the improbable.

Bergamot, green tea, plum and mango open bright with cinnamon and violet leaf behind them. Then the white flowers arrive in force — tuberose, champaca, jasmine sambac, magnolia, ylang-ylang and orchid. Sandalwood, myrrh, tonka and vanilla close it heady. A city of spies and tycoons, at its strangest moment.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
