Shine Despite Everything is a homage to the legendary motto of Sarah Bernhardt, the renowned French actress and trailblazing icon of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Widely regarded as the worldÕs first modern celebrity, she was also a fashion icon, visionary, and astute businesswoman who challenged gender boundaries.
The Divine Sarah, as she was known, was universally described as flamboyant, avant-gardist and charismatic and these three traits are captured by the three main accords of this Parfum Intense.
The Flamboyant accord is a spicy blend of opulence and sophistication powered by the glamourous combination of turmeric seeds and incense Orpurª that open the scent with an unforgettable signature.
The Avant-gardist accord is a sumptuous blend of iris Orpurª enhanced by the unexpected, addictive caramel and amber notes of Rosyfolia Orpurª which add a warm, resinous depth.
The Charismatic accord combines captivating notes of Coumarine and premium-quality vanilla, finished by Akigalawood for an enchantingly soft, mesmerising trail.
Part of the Atkinsons 1799 Reserve Collection, Shine Despite Everything is a glorious, glamourous fragrance dedicated to those who, like the Divine Sarah, do not fear glory and face life with tenacity and intensity.

Avoid direct application on clothes and sensitive skin to prevent irritation and preserve the integrity of the scent.
