Perfume information

The note pyramid of Éssential Blanc unfolds as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The signature of Shirley May is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.

At the opening of the pyramid you catch cardamom-peppery first notes: Cardamom, Grapefruit and Rosemary. Exactly these 3 notes shape voluminous spicy depth that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.

At the core of development you meet Tuberose and ylang-ylang keeping a silky white floral direction.

The accord architecture is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Leather and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over.

At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Spicy, Citrus, Aromatic and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Leather, Wood and Floral.

Taken together Éssential Blanc sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged through real development.

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
