Hiram Green Shangri La ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 20 November 2014 12 Comments

Hiram Green Shangri La

Hiram Green has launched Shangri La, a follow up to the brand's debut fragrance, Moon Bloom.

Almost one hundred years after Francois Coty defined the chypre genre with a perfume of the same name, Hiram Green presents his adaptation of this classic accord. Named after the fictional land described in James Hilton’s novel Lost Horizon, Shangri La evokes a mystical fragrant paradise.

Shangri La opens with a sharp burst of citrus, followed by a rich bouquet of peach, jasmine, rose, iris and spices, all anchored by an earthy base of vetiver and oakmoss.

Hiram Green Shangri La is €135 for 50 ml, and can be purchased now at the Hiram Green website.

      Yes. Hope it will come in a travel size…MB originally did, don’t know if they’re still making it.

        Shangri La comes in a travel size, I just checked Hiram Green’s website. He is also still selling Moon Bloom in the travel size.

    I haven’t gotten my mitts on Moon Bloom yet either. Will probably wait a bit and sample both, as this does sound nice.

    Oh my goodness this brings back memories! I met Mr Green many years ago when he was running a tiny shop called Scent Systems just off Carnaby Street behind Liberty. They stocked a small number of fragrances, not sure if Mr Green was doing any manufacturing himself back then, but a perfumer called George Dodd or Dodds seems to be lurking in the depths of my memory.
