Verdúu launched Christopher Shannon in 2017 — and it was a brilliant move. A unisex fragrance belonging to the spicy, floral, and aromatic families. Conceived and brought to life by perfumer Mark Buxton. By character, it falls into the spicy, green, and ambery groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of wood, musk, floral, citrus, and whiteflower can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. The fragrance concentration is eau de parfum.
The sillage is moderate — present, but never overpowering. It stays on the skin for a good while — longevity is firmly in the moderate range. Country of origin — Germany. Christopher Shannon Verdúu — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Wood, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Middle indicates a stable lasting impression.
Overall Christopher Shannon holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
