Shimmer
“Citrus brilliance, polished florals and a deep sensual trail.”
A Luminous Citrus Opening with a Dark Sensual Foundation
Elevate your senses with Shimmer by Asten, a luxurious 100ml Eau de Parfum that moves from refreshing citrus brightness into elegant florals, earthy woods and a deep sensual base.
The fragrance opens with citruses, bergamot, lemon, cedar and mandarin orange. Sparkling citrus notes create energy and brightness, while cedar introduces a dry woody structure that keeps the opening balanced and refined.
Iris, patchouli, vetiver, jasmine and rose form the heart. Iris brings a polished floral softness, jasmine and rose add classic elegance, and patchouli with vetiver introduces earthy, woody complexity.
The base combines vanilla, incense, leather, opoponax, civet, sandalwood, tonka bean and musk. Sweet warmth meets smoky resin, smooth leather, creamy woods and sensual musk to create a rich and memorable dry-down.
Shimmer is presented in a sculpted cobalt-blue glass bottle with a dark reflective cap and a coordinated presentation box. Its bold visual identity and layered fragrance profile make it suitable for personal collections as well as thoughtful fragrance gifting.
