Layering Pair
Two bottles. One scent.
Why these two belong together, which one goes on your skin first, and what the pair becomes over the hours.
Layering Pair
Shanghai Lily + Gentlemen Only Absolute
Two Extraits de Parfum · 30% Concentration · Sydney, Australia
Shanghai Lily is a big spiced floral with incense and vanilla beneath it, glamorous and slightly theatrical. Gentlemen Only Absolute over the top grounds it, the dark wood and tonka pulling the flowers down out of the air.
This is the most classically perfumed pair of the ten, in the old sense of the word. It is heavy, it is warm, and it lasts a very long time. One spray of each is genuinely enough.

How to Layer
Two sprays of Shanghai Lily onto the skin first, at the inner wrists and the base of the neck. Give it a few seconds, then one to two sprays of Gentlemen Only Absolute over the same spots. Do not rub. Order matters here: Shanghai Lily is the slower of the two and belongs underneath, holding Gentlemen Only Absolute in place as it lifts off. Sprayed the other way around the effect is weaker and does not last as long.
What You Receive
Two full bottles, both in the size you choose. Pick 50ml for the pair or 100ml for the pair. These are full bottles, not miniatures and not decants. Each fragrance also stands completely on its own. The pair is simply how the two are best worn together.
Performance
Both bottles are Extrait de Parfum at 30% concentration, the highest category in fine fragrance. Worn as a pair, expect 10 to 16 hours. Because you are wearing two fragrances at once, start with fewer sprays than you think you need. Two underneath and one over the top is the whole recipe.
Care and Storage
Store both bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. UV exposure and temperature fluctuation degrade aromachemicals over time. A drawer, cabinet, or wardrobe shelf is ideal. Avoid bathrooms. Kept correctly, your fragrances will perform at full strength for 3 to 5 years.
Formulation
Every formula is built from individual aromachemicals using GCMS reconstruction, the same methodology used by the world's leading fragrance houses. We source exclusively from IFF, Givaudan, and Firmenich. Never a pre-made type oil. Never a shortcut.
