Parfum Intense 100ml

Unisex

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 world’s 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 glamorous combination of turmeric seeds and incense Orpur™ that open the scent with an unforgettable signature.
The Avant-Gardista Accord is a sumptuous blend of iris Orpur™ enhanced by the unexpected, addictive caramel and amber notes of Rosyfolia Orpur™ 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.

About the Atkinsons

Atkinsons - Established in London in 1799 by James Atkinson—accompanied by his iconic bear—Atkinsons is a historic perfume house renowned for its bold creations and aristocratic flair. Breaking conventions from the start, Atkinson introduced a warm, spicy Eau de Cologne in 1800 that redefined British perfumery.

The brand’s identity is steeped in royal recognition, symbolized by a crest from King George IV, and reflected in its distinguished bottle design featuring gold engravings and a two-bear medallion. Each fragrance pays tribute to Atkinsons' storied origins—from the orange hue inspired by its first Soho boutique, to the top hat-shaped cap reminiscent of traditional wicker packaging.

With collections ranging from reimagined 19th-century classics to modern interpretations of British landscapes, Atkinsons continues to blend history with innovation—offering niche perfumes that transcend gender and embody timeless British elegance.

Reserve Collection - A masterpiece of iconic heritage, pure preciousness and distinctive intensity
