Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of 05 Paris-Shanghai is built as a layered story, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Guerlain is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

The accord profile rests on these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Wood, Powdery and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence Middle points to a sustained drydown presence. In projection Weak describes the way the scent radiates.

In the first seconds you detect caramel-milky first notes: Almond and Anise.

In the middle phase you notice Floral Notes, Iris, Jasmine, Mimosa, Orange and ylang-ylang carrying a opulent floral direction.

At the note-group layer the structure relies on Gourmet, Spicy, Floral and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Citrus, Wood and Musk.

Taken together 05 Paris-Shanghai sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best understood on 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
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
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
Imperceptible
2
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.

The fragrance is too POWDERY and heavy. It smells somewhat outdated, creating a feeling of heaviness. I would imagine it on older women

A creamy floral scent. It seems quite heavy and retro to me, there's something oppressive about it. It's definitely suitable for people over 40
