Is this a vintage-style fragrance?+−
Yes. Many users find that it pays homage to the legendary chypres of the early 20th century. Because it uses real oakmoss and vetiver, it has a depth and "bite" often missing from contemporary mainstream perfumes.
How does the peach note come across?+−
Unlike the candy-like peach found in many perfumes, the peach here is spicy and sweet. It blends with the jasmine and rose to create a rich, fruity-floral accord that feels mature and complex rather than youthful.
How long does the fragrance stay on the skin?+−
It is highly regarded for its longevity. While many natural fragrances fade quickly, this composition is known for its ability to last through an entire day or evening.
Is Shangri La better for warm or cold weather?+−
Most enthusiasts prefer wearing this in the fall and winter. The density of the spices and the earthy vetiver and oakmoss base can feel heavy in high heat, though the citrus opening provides a nice lift in transitional spring weather.
