Shangri La

In the almost one hundred years since Francois Coty defined the chypre genre, the classic citrus-oakmoss accord has come to represent windswept, exotic lands. Now, Hiram Green brings us his vision of the chypre in the form of the most exotic land of all: Shangri La, the mystical paradise from James Hilton's classic novel Lost Horizon. The result is a beautiful, all-natural fragrance so fresh and transportative that you may find yourself nostalgic for a place that doesn't even exist.

Like a classic chypre, Shangri La opens with a huge, sharp burst of citrus that ignites the senses. A rich bouquet including peach, jasmine, rose, iris and spices make up the sumptuous heart of the fragrance, evoking the lush gardens of an impossibly beautiful locale. An earthy base of vetiver and oakmoss anchor it all, completing the accord and providing a long-lasting, beautiful drydown. Natural fragrance lovers, rejoice: your perfect chypre has arrived.

2022 Re-Release: Following an outpouring of demand, Shangri-La is back after a four year hiatus. While the 2022 version features an updated and refined formula, it will take a good nose to distinguish the new version from the beloved original. We'd say the new edition features an even more opulent floral heart, with a bit more cinnamon-driven spice for that ideal romantic chypre balance.
