Perfume information

The note pyramid of Action One is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Shirley May is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette sets the depth and body this composition needs.

Right at the start you detect sparkling citrus top note: Bergamot. Exactly this 1 note builds a sensation of cool purity that is impossible to miss.

In the middle phase you notice Citrus accord carrying a pure citrus-floral direction. At drydown level the structure settles through Kelp, extending a dry green trail.

The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus and Marine without random overlap. The profile is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.

From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Green and Aromatic. At family level the composition sits in Aromatic.

Overall Action One holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced 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.

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.

Gender

This scale depicts gender focus and demonstrates how the brand positions the fragrance - as masculine, feminine or universal.

On the skin

The optimum amount of atomisation on the skin is the balance at which the fragrance reveals itself in its entirety and sounds its best.

Where is the best place to apply the fragrance?

The best places to apply a fragrance are the areas where it will reveal itself most fully and create the most vivid impression.

On clothing

The optimum amount of atomisation of the fragrance on clothes, at which it reveals the best quality of the fragrance.

Associations

Perfume associations are the emotions and images that pop into the imagination when you perceive its unique notes and accents

Effect

Fragrances can attract attention and evoke positive emotions, others can leave neutral, and others can cause negative associations and repel people.

Intensity

The intensity of a fragrance is like its ‘volume’, the degree of intensity and strength with which it is felt around you or on the surface.

Packaging quality

Perfume bottle packaging quality is about protection and aesthetic appeal, including strength, reliability, design and materials. High quality ensures the safety and security of the product, a good first impression and attractiveness
