Top notes are Pimento, Turmeric and Frankincense; middle notes are Caramel, Ambrofix™, Rose and Orris; base notes are Akigalawood, Coumarin and Madagascar Vanilla. Shine Despite Everything is a homage to the legendary motto of Sarah Bernhardt, the renowned French actress and trailblazing icon of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This fragrance captures her flamboyant, avant-gardist, and charismatic traits through its three main accords. The Flamboyant accord features a spicy blend of turmeric seeds and incense Orpur™. The Avant-gardist accord offers a sumptuous blend of iris Orpur™ with caramel and amber notes of Rosyfolia Orpur™. The Charismatic accord combines notes of Coumarine, premium-quality vanilla, and Akigalawood.
