Atkinsons Shine Despite Everything Parfum, Sample
Bold, theatrical and unapologetically radiant, Shine Despite Everything pays tribute to Sarah Bernhardt, the legendary French actress who redefined fame and became one of the first true modern icons. A visionary performer, daring fashion muse and fearless businesswoman, she embodied drama, independence and magnetic charm. This Parfum Intense captures her spirit in a fragrance designed for those who live vividly and refuse to dim their light.
The composition unfolds in three striking chapters, each reflecting a facet of her extraordinary persona.
Flamboyant. The opening is rich and commanding, where vibrant turmeric seeds meet the smoky elegance of incense Orpur™. The effect is instantly captivating, spiced, luminous and irresistibly refined.
Avant-garde. At its heart, luxurious iris Orpur™ reveals a velvety sophistication, elevated by an unexpected twist of caramel warmth and the resinous glow of Rosyfolia Orpur™. This interplay of powdery florals and ambered sweetness creates depth with a modern, daring edge.
Charismatic. The base lingers with sensual coumarin and exquisite vanilla, enriched by the distinctive character of Akigalawood. Smooth, enveloping and hypnotic, it leaves behind a soft yet unforgettable trail.
Part of the prestigious Atkinsons 1799 Reserve Collection, Shine Despite Everything is a celebration of intensity, glamour and fearless self-expression, crafted for those who embrace life’s spotlight and shine in spite of everything.
