Blue Angel Shirley May — a fragrance that speaks for itself. This is a feminine fragrance rooted in the fern and water families. Concentration — eau de toilette: exactly what it needs to be.
Brand country — the United Arab Emirates, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Blue Angel is built as an expressive line of development, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Shirley May comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette supports the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Aquatic and Wood with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
When the structure is mixed the notes arrive together with a mineral-marine mood: Aquatic accord and Fougère accord. In this format 2 notes sound as one voice, building mineral transparency that feels seamless.
The heart and base are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Mineral, Green, Wood and Aquatic. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Fern and Water.
In summary Blue Angel holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best understood on skin.
