Astrophil & Stella Shanghai 1930 is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Arturetto Landi. Shanghai 1930 opens with Violet Leaf, Cinnamon, Plum, and Mango, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Astrophil & Stella's Shanghai 1930 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive floral beast - you'll either swoon over its potent white florals and tea or find it a sugary, overwhelming mess. Not for the timid, but if you want to make a statement, this has the projection to do it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its powerful projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, potentially overwhelming close quarters. However, its bold and luxurious floral character, often described as 'captivating' and 'unique', is perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal event.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Shanghai 1930 opens with a flash of green tea and mango, quickly giving way to an intense, sweet white floral bouquet dominated by tuberose, jasmine, and magnolia. Hints of plum and violet leaf add depth before it settles into a warm, creamy embrace of vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and sandalwood, lingering as a rich, sweet floral haze.
