The story

Kublai Khan's summer capital.

Peach, mandarin and bergamot open bright and juicy. Orange blossom, lily of the valley, jasmine and rose build a delicate floral heart. Musk, vetiver, vanilla and amber close it warm. Named for Shangdu — a dream-place of clear rivers and palaces, rendered calm rather than grand.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
