Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

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.

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
High (5 to 12 hours)

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.

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.

This scent, honestly, reminds me of Amore Amore, the same cloying sweetness. The fragrance, in general, isn't bad, but these candied citruses with vanillin without peels just annoy me. Monotonous, and also too dense. For its price, of course, you can get it, but don't expect anything special 😒

Apricots are definitely noticeable here, but they seem to be enveloped in something dark and bitter, like vanilla that isn't quite sweet. The fragrance is bright, yet at the same time, it attracts with its mystery. It reminds me of those Victoria's Secret perfumes hidden in opaque bottles, similar to Stella McCartney's designs. There's something languid about this scent that makes you ponder
