Launched in 2016, Shantung by Etro is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men, crafted by perfumer Mathieu Nardin. The composition opens with a burst of cassis and litchi, followed by the freshness of mandarin orange and rose. As it evolves, peony adds a delicate floral touch, while incense brings a hint of complexity. The base notes of cashmere wood, musk, and cedar create a warm and enveloping finish.
Shantung captures the essence of Etro's Italian elegance, blending vibrant fruity and floral top notes with woody and aromatic undertones to evoke a sense of refined sophistication.
