Shirley May Eclipse — character and history of the fragrance
Shirley May Eclipse is a men's eau de toilette released in 2015.
The composition belongs to the fougère family, combining an energetic, cool-spicy character with expressive woody-amber depth.
The fragrance was created by Shirley May, a brand founded in 2009 in the United Arab Emirates.
The brand's DNA is built around the meeting of Eastern refinement and a global vision of modern luxury, which is why Eclipse comes across as an accessible yet distinctive fragrance statement for a man who appreciates an expressive scent.
Olfactive character and development
Shirley May Eclipse develops dynamically: it opens fresh and spicy, then becomes greener and drier before gaining a warm, softly woody texture in the dry-down.
The fougère base makes the fragrance composed and masculine, while amber and musky nuances add volume and sensuality.
The overall impression of Eclipse is confident, polished and slightly mysterious.
This is not a quiet office fragrance: its stated sillage is very strong, so it makes its presence known and can linger on the skin and clothing for a long time.
When and who Eclipse is suited to
The fragrance is positioned as masculine and feels especially natural in cool weather, in the evening, at a meeting, a formal event or whenever you want to emphasize your individuality.
Thanks to its fougère structure, it can also be considered for everyday wear, although its intense sillage calls for careful application.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the database.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount, assess its development after a few minutes and add more gradually if needed.
What to compare it with and try next
In terms of overall mood, Shirley May Eclipse may appeal to fans of classic men's fougères with spicy, green and woody nuances.
For comparison, consider Oriflame DeMarco, Dior Eau Sauvage and Angel Schlesser Angel Schlesser Homme — each offers its own balance of freshness, masculinity and woody base.
If you are looking for a men's fragrance with a noticeable presence, expressive sillage and a traditional fougère character, Eclipse is worth exploring.
It brings together spicy energy, green freshness and a warm finish, leaving behind a composed and memorable impression.
