SHIU 25 combines soft iris with frankincense, pink pepper and warm woods, with a cool, slightly camphoraceous edge running underneath. It has the atmosphere of a serene wooden interior where incense has been burning—not sweet, not traditionally “perfumey,” and not especially floral.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLongevity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModerate to very good.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Early reports are somewhat mixed, with some wearers getting around 6 hours and others reporting substantially longer wear.
