Shanghai Marks and Spencer is marketed as a feminine fragrance, drawing from the east family. Available as eau de toilette.
Made in the United Kingdom, backed by a long and proud tradition. Shanghai Marks and Spencer — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
One of those fragrances you never forget, even years later. The official website of Marks and Spencer — https://corp.shiseido.com/en/.
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 light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Shanghai evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Marks and Spencer is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette supports the right density and pace of development.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Fruit forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Musc and Amber expand the olfactory volume in the background. The profile is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
As soon as the fragrance opens you catch sparkling citrus opening note: Red Orange.
In the middle phase you notice Apricot and Freesia keeping a tempting fruity direction.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Fruit, Floral and Ambery. The palette also extends to Spicy, Musk and Gourmet. At family level the fragrance belongs to East.
Taken together Shanghai holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
