Shade is packed with gorgeous essential oils that give it a warm, comforting scent. Sandalwood oil is extracted from protected and sustainable trees and blended in to give this fragrance its warm and woody note, while olibanum and guaiacwood oils round it out with a little grounding and a little floral, so its scent on skin is just a little different, but oh-so-perfect on everyone. Made in United Kingdom.

I bought the 30ml Shade spray perfume

Some of you remember that i absolutely love sandalwood. I also love frankincense. When i saw thst Shade perfume had both, i HAD to buy it.

I also bought the solid perfume and the wash card.

I bought this approximately 2 years ago and just never reviewed it nor put it here in my lush blog.

This perfume did not disappoint. It smells as good or actually better than i imagined it would. Its more a unisex scent. Its warm and comforting, even meditative. It’s not lost on me that i have sandalwood incense and frankincense incense that i like to burn when feeling meditative. This fragrance is somehow slightly sensual as well. Its only ever so slightly sweet. Its got a note, probably the frankincense, that seems slightly like a fruity floral note, yet i wouldn’t call this fragrance floral, nor fruity, nor green. Its woody but in the best and beautiful way.

How can something smell grounding but airy at the same time. Im not sure but that’s what i get when i wear Shade.

It has great throw, and nice staying power on my skin. I like to wear a bit of the solid on my forearms after showering at night so i can smell it while i lie down and go to sleep.

The Hanukkah 2025 ‘Menorah’ bath melt has the shade scent.
