Shangrila opens with a brief, quiet flash of bergamot that immediately gets absorbed by a warm, heavy wave of steeped white tea and dry ginger. It immediately leans into a dense, velvety heart of rich lilies and soft rose that feels deeply comforting rather than breezy. The scent quickly grounds itself into its true character; a massive, dominating base of smooth, warm sandalwood, amber, and a dense, clean musk. This creates a thick, comforting blanket of fragrance that smells like expensive timber, heavy fabrics, and high-end security.
