№4 Allen Shaw — a 2016 fragrance that needs no introduction. A unisex fragrance from the fern and fruit families. Shawn Bergin — the creative mind behind this fragrance. The fragrance concentration is eau de parfum.
Country of origin — the United States, and that already says something about the quality. №4 Allen Shaw unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of №4 is built as a layered story, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Allen Shaw is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Fruit, Earthy / Mossy and Wood. At family level the fragrance belongs to Fern and Fruit.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a juicy exotic mood: Currant, Melon, Oak moss, Patchouli, Pineapple and Vetiver. In this format 6 notes sound as one integrated frame, forming thrilling fruity juiciness that feels seamless.
The heart and base are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Fruit and Wood without random overlap. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
Taken together №4 holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.
