Alfred Sung Shi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Shi opens with Basmati Rice, Water Lily, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk and Birch. Alfred Sung's Shi carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This early 2000s gem is a surprisingly potent, clean aquatic floral that evokes a fresh-out-of-the-shower crispness. While some find it serenely beautiful and highly versatile, a vocal minority warns of sharp notes leading to nausea, proving it's not a universal crowd-pleaser.

About

Shi opens with a unique, slightly milky basmati rice note, softened by delicate water lily and a hint of bright mandarin. The heart blossoms with lush frangipani and sweet orange blossom, creating a watery, white floral core. It settles into a clean, musky base with a whisper of birch, maintaining an ethereal freshness throughout.
