Shantung Dream our latest fragrance is inspired by the luxury and rarity of raw silk, handwoven with a unique slubbed texture, which reveals the occasional surprise beneath the smooth surface.
Imperfect luxury
“I have always loved the touch and texture of fabrics, and Shantung is no exception. Its slightly imperfect luxury speaks to me. It celebrates the artisan, something that is still hand crafted yet special, and despite its subtly irregular texture is the gold standard of silk fabrics,”
“Shantung is often used for wedding gowns, just as gardenia and jasmine blossoms are a popular wedding bouquet floral choice, so they felt a perfect reflection of the rarity of this special textile.” says Kate
Summers spent in the Mediterranean, memories of orange blossom drifting on the warm breeze, the warmth of baked terracotta tiles on bare feet and the touch of sun-kissed skin.
The elegant Moorish gardens of Majorca with their eastern influences of orange blossom, jasmine and gardenia, are combined with the inspiration of Shantung silk, a luxurious hand-woven fabric; Eastern influences skilfully brought together in this new floral amber perfume.
As luxurious as silk, as warm as sunshine.
PERFUME NOTES
Top notes of neroli and petitgrain drift above a floral heart of gardenia, jasmine, sweet orange and fig, which rests on a warm base accord of sandalwood, tonka bean, amber and tolu with a delicate hint of musky ambrettolide.
“However, the fragrance is also inspired by the dream of a wonderful holiday, spending the day in the sunshine, the warmth of hot sand under your feet, a luxuriously carefree moment at the end of the day feeling pampered and relaxed, with a golden glow of bliss.” says Kate
