In the lush gardens of Shangri-la, Adam and Eve are living in paradise. Everything is green and sumptuous; gardenias bloom everywhere and animals roam freely, and Adam and Eve revel in their simple, perfect lives.
After many days in paradise, Adam starts to grow a bit restless, wondering if there’s life outside of the garden; maybe there’s other things to know, to understand, to experience. Eve attempts to discourage his wandering mind and restless spirit. She knows they are supposed to stay in paradise and live out their days without worry or fear. Why invite trouble into their perfect world?.... Click here to read the rest of the story!
The sweetness and juiciness of the lychee is the star here, but the other notes elevate it to behind mere fruitiness. Its floral underpinnings ground it in a really gentle way, even as my brain is just so happy about the lychee. I’ll be buying a whole bottle!
Ok ok, so: florals hate me. They burn off my skin like water evaporating off a hot sidewalk in the middle of summer or turn sour and I smell like a Garbage Grandma (you're welcome for the future perfume name, Suc).
NOT Shangri-La! This settled on my skin like a warm garden full of velvet cushions. The gardenia comes through without being overpowering and the sweetness of the lychee is beautifully balanced by the rose hips. A floral perfume that actually smells beautiful ON me? Shut your mouth.
Ohhhhhhh! Not sure what order this came from, but I need to wear this a lot! The lychee really comes through. Definitely buying a larger size during the anniversary sale.
This has been such a lovely bright spot in the pandemic and has now started me collecting perfumes. I absolutely adore the Facebook group, it’s the one nice place on an otherwise hostile app. Thank you for creating Suc!
Shanghai-La is a beauty! Lush velvety gardenia sweetened with exotic lychees. The Rose hips keeps it from getting too sweet. A simple tea note of red tea gives it warmth. It’s a perfect lychee scent.
