Identity and History of Shanghai Lily

The fragrance Tom Ford Shanghai Lily, known in Russia as 'Shanghai Lily', was released in 2013 and is a perfume water from the legendary brand Tom Ford.

This fragrance is part of the exclusive collection Private Blend Atelier d’Orient, which reflects the Eastern motifs and luxury inherent in Tom Ford's DNA, where uncompromising luxury and bold sensuality become the main protagonists.

Positioning and How to Wear Shanghai Lily

This women's fragrance belongs to the Floral and Oriental families, creating a perfect balance between tenderness and mystery for bold and confident women.

The scent trail is barely perceptible, which adds intimacy and sophistication, making it suitable for evening events or special occasions.

For optimal application, it is recommended to apply pointwise on the skin, for example, on the wrists and neck, so that the fragrance unfolds naturally, and for clothing, you can use the "enter the cloud" technique, ensuring even distribution and a long-lasting effect.

If you liked Shanghai Lily, you might be interested in similar fragrances: Terry de Gunzburg Rose Infernale, Victoria's Secret Cashmere Vanilla Jasmine and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Cologne Pour Le Soir, which also combine floral and oriental notes to create unique images.

Creators and Influence of Shanghai Lily

Talented perfumers Antoine Maisondieu and Tom Ford worked on the creation of this fragrance, who masterfully embodied the bold sensuality and luxury characteristic of Tom Ford's brand DNA.

Their collaboration led to a fragrance that not only enhances the brand's reputation as a creator of bold and sophisticated compositions but also inspires fans of Eastern aesthetics, confirming Tom Ford's status as an icon in the world of perfumery.

Description of the composition

Composition of Shanghai Lily

The note pyramid of Shanghai Lily is a rich and complex blend where balsamic, citrus, floral, gourmand, spicy, and white floral accords intertwine.

In the composition, one can find benzoin and labdanum, which add warmth and depth, as well as bitter orange for a fresh start.

Spicy notes, such as black pepper, clove, and pink pepper, add sharpness and character, while floral and white floral elements, including rose, jasmine, and tuberose, create a delicate and sensual heart of the fragrance.

The composition is completed by gourmand notes of vanilla and woody vetiver, which ensure longevity and leave behind a mysterious trail, perfectly highlighting the oriental character of this unique perfume.

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.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)

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.
Sillage
Imperceptible

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.
