A nice perfume but I find it very hard to distinguish what the scent is really like. It’s a destiny blend that seems to have really melded perfectly so you can’t pick out one thing from it (at least to me).To me, it doesn’t seem overly floral despite the description. Maybe it’s the sandalwood or the blend just really worked chemically but to me this has a bit of a sort of unisex scent about this that reminds me closer to a light men’s aftershave than a feminine perfume. Someone else may feel differently about the scent though.The design of the bottle is quite simple but elegant (it’s not stylised to look like any other object like the other designer brands do)

The first thing that you notice about this product is the packaging. I love the box that it came in that I am keeping it in there as it just looks so sophisticated. The box it black and white with purple on it and looks stunning. The bottle...I could not love this bottle more. It isn't designed to stand out like most "fashion" brands, it stands out because it is classic and elegant.The scent is something that I wasn't sure about from the description but once i receive my bottle I realised that like with most perfume that different notes linger on different people. For me, this is not a strong perfume, it does have a nice floral scent but also has a musk-ness to it that makes it not so over bearing.

I hadn't heard of this brand before so I had to do some research. Etro is an Italian fashion house founded in the 1960's. Although perhaps less well known in the UK compared with other big Italian fashion names it does have a presence with 2 boutiques in London. Etro has been in the perfume game for some time and first launched a fragrance line back in 1998. The Shantung Eau de Parfum is a complex multi-layered scent with top floral notes of rose and citrus with base notes of cedarwood and musk. It is quite sweet but not overly so and develops over time. As an Eau de Parfum it is very intense and a small amount goes far. It also lasts for ages and mellows to a very pleasant lingering scent.

There has been a bit of a disagreement about this scent in the Sweeney household. This Eau de Parfum is designed to be worn by both men and women, so my wife and I sat down for a testing session to work out who would be using this (or whether we'd share it). It transpired that I now own this fine fragrance, as it wasn't to my wife's taste in scents at all. Although this may seem like a win for me, it leaves me with a fragrance that my wife isn't overly keen on, which means that if I wear it, she's not going to like the way I smell too much. Oh well, at least she didn't actually actively dislike it.A little Shantung goes a long way and has an interesting and complex lingering woody,

I liked the look and description of this Eau de Parfum by Etro so decided to order it for my partner who uses perfumes regularly.It is presented in a quite simple but classy box with a black Paisley style design on a white background while the bottle itself has the same pattern in white on it giving the whole package a feeling of good quality.My partner has worn this on several occasions now and has mixed feelings about the product. She finds it to be a pleasant, mostly citrus smelling scent and she liked the fact that it wasn't overpowering. However, she also commented on the fact that the perfume appeared to fade quite quickly and she did not think that it was worth the price tag. Overall,

I had never heard of this perfume before so was keen to try something new. The glass bottle is attractive with a gold coloured top and comes in a nice looking box.My first thoughts when seeing the price was ‘its expensive’ but actually it isn’t as you get 100 ml for this price and being eau de parfum it lasts longer than eau de toilette.I quite often use a cologne which has mandarin in it which I like and this is probably why I like this perfume as it has mandarin in it with the sweetness of blackcurrant and lychees not that I can detect the latter. It does have woody undertones.I actually love this new fragrance and it has now taken the place of my other scent. It is not too sweet and is quite different.

My wife loves this.Lovely scent that is floral and smalls so fresh and wonderful - also lasted ell on my wife and din't need reapplying on the 2 evenings we've been out with her wearing this.The box and bottle are lovely - the photo's don't do it justice at all.Overall a thumbs up - see note on value for money below - but for 100ml it's not that much more than many other perfumes.I've ignored the value for money rating as you'll either love it or hate it and to be honest 100ml of anything isn't worth £118 but then you're buying a design and a image so if you can afford it you can have it and if not you can't criticise the price - just don't buy it (says me who got this for free to

Stunning bottle!The scent is very beautiful, a mix of floral and fruity and it stays all day.It smells very different on the skin to smelling the bottle or if you spray it on a piece of paper. On the skin all the notes start to become more apparent - especially the blackcurrant and it becomes a lot more fresh. The woody notes help to ground out the floral. I’m not a massive fan of rose but it is quite subtle once on the skin, and blends well with the other scents.I recommend you dab the perfume on and not rub it in otherwise you don’t get the scent pay off!It can be an everyday fragrance but it’s richness lends to it being an excellent evening/night out scent.

I took this scent to my work place and asked several female colleagues to try it and tell me their thoughts. None of them were blown away by it, but all of them liked it. To me the overall scent was a citrus, not over sweet, but had plenty of body - and being Eau de Parfum, it lasted on all of my testers, all day. The wow, was when I informed my colleagues of the price - and this is where it fell down. None of them said they would be prepared to pay the price of £118. To quote one lady, "It's nice, but no that nice...."...So unless you, or your lady specifically was this scent, then you need to try before you buy.

At well over £100 I was quite startled and unable to understand what makes it so special that it deserves that price tag. It smells nice but no better than things I've smelled at much lower cost. It has a long over the top description of what it is supposed to smell like. My first impression was light aromatic fruit and a woody undertone. After seeing lychee and cedar listed I agree, that I think that's what it smells like to me, any other undertones in there are indefinable but add a somewhat mystery element that is pleasant enough. Does not smell synthetic to me.

This is a lovely fragrance sold as unisex but smells nicer on her due to its rose accent in my opinion. Described as masculine I found as a man I couldn’t immediately smell it on me and that it needed time to warm up. Once it did, it was warm and musky but also fresh.I was told that a fragrance suits you if you can’t smell it on yourself?It isn’t the strongest fragrance I own but it is pleasant and long lasting. She loves it on herself so I have probably lost it anyway?Comes in a nice presentation box with a lovely shaped bottle.

I love perfumes and scents that mix woody/musk notes with citrus top notes and this one hits all the right notes for me. The top notes are:Papyrus, Lemon, Bergamot and Mandarin with base notes of Honduras Styrax, Oud, Citrus Labdanum, Amber, Musk.I wear Jo Malone's Amber and Lavender daily and also like Miller Harris's Tangerine Vert. This is reminiscent of those scents and the the heart notes of Turkish rose, Cedarwood and Saffron add some spice and longevity.It's nicely packaged with a classy looking bottle

This perfume looks so stylish and high quality, I had not heard of the Etro brand prior to this. The packaging is really high end, the bottle looks great too. The perfume smells lovely, slightly floral and woody, but disappointingly the silage is not great and does not last as long as I would like. Considering the price I would be very disappointing if I had paid that much money. I would recommend you get a tester spray before you commit to getting this perfume (well any perfume!)

The smell is slightly on the feminine side in my opinion but I still wear it because it smells so good. Males can definetly get away with it but the smell is quite complex. Its light and pleasant and steers away from the standard his and her. The price I think reflects more of the adherence with the scent lasting a very long time. One spray is all I need to keep me good for the day. Not to mention the bottle is very good looking too.The fresh smell is a must after showering

Very nice packaging and a pretty bottle. The scent is very lovely on my skin - I hadn't realised it is unisex - it's quite floral and the muskiness works very well with my skin, but it does smell nice on my husband too. I've had several compliments when I am wearing this perfume - it's not too strongly scented, but it lasts well on my skin. For me, this is a winner.
