Shades Dana — a 1998 fragrance that needs no introduction. This is a feminine fragrance rooted in the floral and water families. In eau de cologne — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
The home of this fragrance is the United States. Shades Dana 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 fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
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 Shades is shaped as a layered story, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Dana is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de Cologne keeps the right density and pace of development.
The stylistic positioning is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In the first seconds you detect sparkling citrus opening notes: Basil, Bergamot and Mandarin. These 3 notes build sunny vitality that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the heart you sense Lily, Mint, Peony, Tea and Water hyacinth carrying a opulent floral direction. At the foundation the line is anchored through Cardamom and Woody Accord, reinforcing a dry spicy trail.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Aromatic, Citrus, Whiteflower and Floral. It also reaches into Green, Spicy, Wood and Aquatic. At family level the fragrance belongs to Floral and Water.
Taken together Shades holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.
