Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Interesting, but ‘meditative’ is an understatement; it’s too intense for that. It has a relaxing vibe, like a citrus massage oil (without actually being citrus). Smells of laurel and white woods, an aromatic green note with clean wood, nothing deep or oud-like. It’s not ‘clean-fresh,’ but it is fresh without being green or citrusy. I’d need to layer it with something sweet (not gourmand), like ‘Lord of Misrule,’ because it’s so aromatic. It’s exquisite and unique, but don’t buy it blindly: it’s intense and not for everyone.
Shade conveys calm, earth, and warmth. Upon application, you notice something distinct, natural, and essential. The drydown is dry and resinous, creating a creamy veil on the skin. Then comes the woody, slightly spicy facet, very intimate and cozy. Imagine a quiet forest with sunlight filtering through and warm soil; it’s not sweet or floral, but minimalist, meditative, and deep, almost ritualistic. On skin, it’s close with a soft yet persistent trail, ideal for discreet and sophisticated fragrances. Lasts about 6-8 hours. It’s a warm embrace of woods and resins, sober and comforting, perfect for lovers of woody and spiritual scents.
I walked into a LUSH store and was blown away: huge variety of natural products in a cozy atmosphere. I wasn’t looking for creams, but when I headed to perfumes, I found a surprise: they make incredible perfumes! Original and extremely high quality, matching the price (they’re not cheap). My nose couldn’t keep up; the scents are surprising, challenging, and fun. After some hesitation, I settled on SHADE. It’s not explicitly declared, but alongside the sandalwood, I detect a pleasant, rough vetiver, though I might be imagining it. It’s simple but very original. The atomizer and bottle leave something to be desired, but the contents are top-notch. It’s a personal bubble, consistent, and lasts about 6-7 hours. The imagination of these people leaves you speechless. SHADE is one of the most elegant I’ve tried; others are gimmicks or caricatures, but they’re all fantastic. It’s worth discovering.
It’s a winter perfume where palo santo stands out over sandalwood and frankincense. Very woody and earthy; personally, I didn’t like it.
