Shanghai le Soir
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and underwhelming if you're expecting classic Chanel, but a bright, playful, and surprisingly long-lasting fruity floral if you're after a modern, easy-going scent that gets compliments.
This one's a divisive affair. Despite the enticing notes, Shanghai le Soir is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent with some finding its blackcurrant and musk combination turning surprisingly… unpleasant. Definitely test before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
While many found its performance lacking, others noted surprising longevity and compliment factor, making it suitable for most casual and date settings. Its overall fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile leans well to office wear, though it might be a bit too casual or 'young' for formal events.
Seasons
Occasions
Given its 'extrait' concentration, this scent is likely to be quite present, making it less ideal for a close-quarters office environment. Its fruity-woody-floral profile lends itself well to evenings out and dressed-up occasions, but it's not so heavy that it can't be worn casually for those who enjoy its unique character.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Woody, Fresh accords and Rose, Violet notes
