Shirley May

Parfumour's Interpretation of Shirley May Shirley May

Shirley May is a soft, wearable everyday floral, and our version keeps that gentle character, built around the same notes with strong, lasting wear.

The Story Behind the Scent

Shirley May built this scent as a soft, everyday floral, pairing a bright citrus opening with a rose, jasmine and lily of the valley heart over a warm musk, amber and sandalwood base for a gentle, wearable character.

Our interpretation follows that character, rebuilt at a high perfume oil concentration so it projects well and lasts on skin.
