Shanghai 1930 by Astrophil & Stella

Unexpected Encounters

SHANGHAI THE MYSTERIOUS,

SHANGHAI THE ROMANTIC,

SHANGHAI THE INSCRUTABLE.

AND, ABOVE ALL ELSE, SHANGHAI THE IMPROBABLE.

IN THE EARLY 30’S SHANGHAI WAS A CITY LIKE NO OTHER. A MELTING POT OF CULTURES, ETHNICITIES, INDIVIDUALS, POLITICS. BRITISH SPIES, SOVIET AGENTS, RICH TYCOONS, JOURNALISTS, REVOLUTIONARIES AND INTELLECTUALS. SHANGHAI IN THE 30’S WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY CITY AT AN UNUSUAL TIME.

A POWERFUL AND DISTINCTIVE FLORAL ORIENTAL FRAGRANCE WITH DEEP, HEADY AND SUAVE NOTES. THE TOP NOTE IS CHARACTERIZED BY A FRESH GREEN EARL GREY TEA ACCORD WHICH MARRIES PERFECTLY WITH THE NARCOTIC ELEGANT TUBEROSE HAVING ITSELF A SWEET ORIENTAL DRY DOWN. THE BACKGROUND IS MYSTICAL AND SOMEHOW FINE POWDERY WITH TYPICAL ORIENTAL INGREDIENTS, SUPPORTED BY AN ELEGANT MUSKY ACCORD WHICH GIVES THE SCENT A LONG LASTING CHARACTER AND SENSUALITY.
