Crossing the busy streets of this city decorated in red, he was immediately hit by the frenetic, yet strangely organized, movement of his new neighbors. The cacophony of urban life was loud and overwhelming but exciting. Mobiles and designer handbags mingled amongst the aromas of spicy beef and dim sum. The juxtaposition of contemporary glass-clad skyscrapers, haute-couture shops, and luxury cars harmoniously cohabitating with the myriad of traditional street vendors, barrows, and bicycles were a unique phenomenon of modern-day Shanghai. He stopped by a fruit stall, marveling at the variety of such exotic fruits; the old man gave a toothless grin as he offered him a slice of real China to try, the Nashi pear. Its unforgettable smell and crisp, juicy taste instantly cemented his sense of residence in Shanghai, now his city to live and work. Shanghai has a special place in his memory, as it was the origin of his training process as a perfumer. This creation represents the union between modernity and the characteristic tradition of the city. The fragrance opens with an outflow of juicy nashi pear , symbolizing Chinese tradition and Asian culture. In its most floral part, the chinese peony stands out, providing colour and freshness, while in the background, a soft amber lingers and gives the fragrance great strength. Top notes: lemon, Nashipear, tea leaves Middle notes: Chinese peony, coconut water, jasmine Base notes: Sinfonide, Ambroxan, vetiver
