Olfactory Pyramid
The Architecture.
A technical breakdown of the molecular evolution — how each note interacts with heat, fabric, and skin over time.
Inspired by Tom Ford Shanghai Lily
Shanghai Lily
Extrait de Parfum · 100ml · 30% Concentration · Sydney, Australia
A discontinued Tom Ford that deserved better. Shanghai Lily was quietly pulled from the collection, leaving those who discovered it with no way to get it back — until now.
Bitter orange, black pepper, and clove open with real spice and drama before jasmine, tuberose, rose, violet, and lily take over in full opulent bloom — a floral heart of genuine complexity and beauty. The base is where Shanghai Lily becomes something rare: vetiver, cashmere woods, benzoin, castoreum, labdanum, guaiac wood, incense, and vanilla all working together in a dry-down that is warm, animalic, and deeply personal. Stays close to the skin but lasts all day. At 30% concentration this is Shanghai Lily exactly as it should be remembered.

Performance
Formulated at 30% concentration, Extrait de Parfum, the highest category in fine fragrance. Expect 10 to 16 hours of wear with a rich, evolving sillage that opens boldly and settles into a deeply personal skin scent over time. One or two sprays is all that is required.
How to Apply
Apply to pulse points, the inner wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Do not rub. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally and interact with your skin's warmth. For best performance, apply to freshly moisturised skin or over an unscented body lotion. Dry skin absorbs fragrance faster. Oily skin holds it longer. At 30% concentration, one or two sprays is enough.
Care and Storage
Store 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 fragrance 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, the same suppliers used by Dior, Chanel, and Tom Ford. Never a pre-made type oil. Never a shortcut.
