Tom Ford Shanghai Lily's Inspired Attar

Flora Five's Shanghai Lily attar is an alcohol-free, oil-based interpretation of the opulent, spice-laced white florals of Tom Ford Shanghai Lily. Bitter orange, pink pepper, black pepper and clove strike a warm match at the top, and then the bouquet arrives — jasmine, rose, tuberose, violet and lily in full bloom — carrying the scent for roughly 8–10 hours on skin.

How it compares. Our attar captures the recognisable Shanghai Lily accord — lush white petals lit up by clove and peppered citrus, glamorous rather than soapy. Because it's a concentrated oil with no alcohol, the opening is softer (no spray "blast"), it develops more slowly, sits closer to the skin, and lasts noticeably longer than an alcohol spray.

The formula is 100% alcohol-free and halal, so wear it the traditional way: glide the roller over wrists, the sides of the neck and behind the ears, then give your body heat twenty minutes to open the florals. Avoid rolling it directly onto white or pale clothing — concentrated oils can stain.

Frequently asked questions

What does Shanghai Lily attar smell like?
Like an evening gown in scent form — a rich, heady white-floral heart of lily, tuberose and jasmine wrapped in rose and violet, with a spicy prologue of clove, peppers and bitter orange. It reads distinctly feminine and dressed-up: velvety, warm and a little mysterious rather than fresh or green. A small amount makes a statement.

How long does it last?
Around 8–10 hours on skin, in line with rich floral oils. The spiced citrus opening is at its loudest for the first hour; the white florals then project moderately for 4–6 hours before softening into a petal-and-violet veil close to the skin. On a scarf or shawl it can comfortably last into the next day.

How is Flora Five's version different from the original Tom Ford Shanghai Lily?
Tom Ford's is a discontinued, hard-to-find eau de parfum bound in alcohol; ours is a concentrated roll-on oil built around the same spiced white-floral character. Skipping the alcohol means a gentler opening, a slower bloom and better staying power — and it keeps this beloved profile accessible instead of collector-priced. It is an independent tribute, not the original formula.

Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
Start with 3 ml if spicy white florals are new territory for you — it still gives dozens of wears. The 6 ml suits regular evening use, while 12 ml is the best value per ml for anyone who already knows they love tuberose and lily. All three share the same rollerball, so switching sizes changes nothing about the experience.
