Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

The note pyramid of Compass is built as a layered story, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Shirley May is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette sets the right density and pace of development.

From the group perspective the composition is built around Citrus, Spicy, Ambery and Wood. The framework further includes Musk and Gourmet. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to East.

Right at the start you sense sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Cardamom and Mandarin.

When the opening settles you detect Cinnamon, Coriander and Nutmeg holding a warm-spicy direction.

The accord profile is built around these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Amber and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.

Taken together Compass sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best understood on skin.

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.
