In the notes, elements from the citrus, floral, and white floral groups can be detected, creating a complex and memorable bouquet.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The Chinatown note pyramid begins with a refreshing duo of bergamot and delicate peach blossom, creating an intriguing start.

At the heart of the composition, a luxurious bouquet unfolds, featuring gardenia, orange blossom (fleur d'orange), peony, and tuberose, adding floral depth and exoticism.

The fragrance base is built on warm and sensual notes: spicy cardamom, woody cedar, guaiac wood, patchouli, sandalwood, and sweet vanilla.

This combination ensures a smooth transition from the bright initial phase to a stable, cozy final note that lingers long on the skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

A fragrance where a delicate peony tries to hide its beauty, only to be overwhelmed by tuberose. Although it seems light, it starts to give me a headache. It's a real shame such a beautiful peony gets overshadowed
5/5
5
The perfume opens with cardamom, and then gardenia, tuberose, and peach tree blossoms start to play in the heart. The sillage, though, just chokes with its patchouli, as if someone decided this was the best way to grab attention
5/5
5
The fragrance is indeed beautiful, floral. White flowers with cardamom are felt here, and gardenia adds tenderness. Peony brings freshness, while vanilla and woody notes complete this floral bouquet. Overall, it's a stylish and complex fragrance that is clearly suitable for women )
4/5
4
A floral fragrance, rich and bright, with added bergamot and spices. It's clearly more suitable for women. Although it can be worn every day, there's something sharp about it that makes it stand out from others. It's not just a delicate scent; it has its own character
4/5

The fragrance, I tell you, is DISGUSTING! Complex, yes, but not in a good way. You don't immediately realize how heavy it is. Seemingly decent, but in reality - just unbearable. The brand? Forget it! Not appealing at all. It didn't grab me, and honestly, this perfume is definitely not for everyone
4/5

I tried a sample of this fragrance, and it's truly impressive. It starts with tuberose and peony, and then spices and woody notes are added, creating an interesting cocktail. The scent is long-lasting and leaves a memorable sillage
5/5
5
This fragrance truly beautifully accentuates the image of a confident, stylish, and intelligent woman. There are perfumes that create a festive atmosphere, others give a feeling of youth and freshness, but this one, in my opinion, possesses a special intellectual depth 🌟
5/5

How WRONG I was about this fragrance! I used to just hate it. I smelled it everywhere and didn't even pay attention to it. At the time, I was enjoying Chanel Allure, Gucci Premiere, Lady Million, and sometimes Chanel N5 Premiere. But then, while tidying my perfume shelf, I stumbled upon a sample that once came with a purchase. I sprayed it on my wrist, and that was it. I was just blown away
2/5
2
When you look at this bottle, it gives the impression that there should be something completely different inside. Expectations are one thing, but in reality, it's a sharp, rich, spicy floral-woody scent. Honestly, I don't know what to think about this fragrance 🤔
4/5
4
This fragrance is truly oriental and very rich. It beautifully combines spicy floral and woody notes, and you can also sense vanilla with patchouli. It's perfect for the cold season, creating coziness and warmth ✨
4/5
4
The fragrance is simply gorgeous, rich and floral-oriental. You can clearly hear milky tuberose, as well as peach blossom and spices. A real delight!
4/5
4
The designers of this brand clearly love to play with expectations! The packaging promises cherry blossom, but it's not there. Instead, there's peony, which, of course, is associated with the Celestial Empire. At first, I caught some sharp chemical note, something reminiscent of gasoline. But then the flowers unfolded, many delicate shades. All in all, not too bad. The fragrance pyramid is either incomplete or quite standard for luxury
2/5
2
I can't figure out what this is like. The smell is too floral, with an obvious vanilla sweetness. At first, it seems pleasant, but then the feeling shifts to grandma's perfumes. Using the bottle was extremely inconvenient, and finishing it was a real struggle 😔
3/5
3
At first, this fragrance seemed strange to me; I can't say I immediately liked it. There's something in it from my perfumed past that brings up unpleasant associations. But then, after a while, I couldn't pull my nose away from the clothes where I'd applied it. The longevity of the scent is impressive. It's not divinely beautiful, but it's not awful either. No harshness, doesn't cause rejection, but at the same time, it definitely attracts me. I understand it's not for everyone. It's definitely worth trying. I'm sure it will unfold just as sexually and attractively on a man as it does on me)))
3/5
3
If you look at this fragrance in isolation, it can really enhance an image. But if you view it as a perfumer's creation, that's another story. In that case, it's simply magnificent. Unisex - that's the precise definition. You could say it's a masterpiece, but I wouldn't wear it myself. After trying it, I smelled unpleasant notes all day. I tested it on my girlfriend - the result was just as terrible. But if you just inhale it without associating it with the wearer, then it's a completely different matter 😔
