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.
