Cherigan Shanghai le Soir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Maxime Exler. Shanghai le Soir opens with Pink Pepper, Blackcurrant, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Cashmeran. Cherigan's Shanghai le Soir carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.

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.

Casual

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Shanghai le Soir opens with a burst of sweet litchi and a touch of tart redcurrant leaf, spiced subtly with pink pepper. It then mellows into a floral heart of powdery orris, delicate rose, and soft violet, grounded by earthy cedar. The base settles into a creamy blend of cashmeran and clean musk, offset by warm woody notes, aiming for a soft yet complex finish.
