Shine Despite Everything is a tribute to the legendary motto of Sarah Bernhardt, the famous French actress and groundbreaking icon of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Widely considered the world's first modern celebrity, she was also a fashion icon, visionary and astute businesswoman who challenged gender boundaries.
The divine Sarah, as she was called, was commonly described as extravagant, avant-garde and charismatic and these three qualities are captured in the three main accords of this Intense perfume.
The Flamboyant accord is a spicy blend of opulence and sophistication, powered by the glamorous combination of turmeric seeds and Orpur™ incense, giving the fragrance an unforgettable signature.
The avant-garde accord is a lush blend of Iris Orpur™, enhanced by the unexpected, addictive caramel and amber notes of Rosyfolia Orpur™, which add a warm, resinous depth.
The charismatic accord combines captivating notes of coumarin and high-quality vanilla, refined by akigalawood for an enchantingly soft, hypnotic scent.
Part of the Atkinsons 1799 Reserve Collection, Shine Despite Everything is a gorgeous, glamorous fragrance dedicated to those who, like the divine Sarah, are unafraid of fame and face life with tenacity and intensity.
