Shanghai

by Nicolas Beaulieu

Contes de Parfums Shanghai is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Nicolas Beaulieu. Shanghai opens with Nashi Pear, Tea, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Coconut, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Sinfonide, Vetiver, and Ambroxan. Contes de Parfums's Shanghai carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

A juicy, realistic pear opening quickly gives way to a creamy coconut and floral heart. Shanghai is a modern, slightly feminine amber-fruity scent that's a bit of a chameleon on skin, offering different facets to different noses.

The fresh and fruity opening makes it adaptable for casual wear, while the amber-floral drydown lends itself well to dates. While pleasant, its unique character might be a bit much for very formal settings or intense physical activity.

About

Shanghai opens with an incredibly vivid nashi pear, brightened by a hint of lemon and an aromatic whisper of tea. This fresh, juicy start transitions into a creamy, tropical heart of coconut and lush florals like jasmine and peony. The base is a warm, musky amber from sinfonide and ambroxan, with a grounding touch of vetiver, balancing the fruit and flowers with a smooth, lasting warmth.
