Cherigan Shanghai le Soir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Maxime Exler. The fragrance opens with Litchi, Redcurrant Leaf, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Violet, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Woody, Cashmeran, and Musk.

Our verdict on Shanghai le Soir: Acquired

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.

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.

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.
