Perfume information

The note pyramid of Swear unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Shirley May comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.

The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Wood and Amber expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.

At the opening of the pyramid you sense radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Bergamot and Mandarin.

In the middle phase you detect Currant, Jasmine and Orchid keeping a velvety fruity direction.

At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Fruit, Whiteflower and Floral. The palette also extends to Ambery, Wood and Musk. At family level the fragrance belongs to Fern and Floral.

In summary Swear reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition 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.

Associations

Effect

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
