De Ma Mere Shelley Kyle, created in 2000, is marketed as a feminine fragrance.
Behind this fragrance stands the United States and its rich perfumery heritage. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
A scent you'll want to wear again and again — discovering something new every time. The official website of Shelley Kyle — http://www.coudray-parfumeur.com.
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 rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
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 scent of De Ma Mere evolves as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Shelley Kyle comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Animalistic, Floral and Mineral forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a voluminous floral mood: Amber, Beeswax, Linden blossom, Mimosa and White Acacia. In this format 5 notes act as one coherent layer, forming an elegant floral wave that feels seamless.
The heart and base are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Balsamic, Animals and Floral.
Taken together De Ma Mere sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged through real development.
