An Evolving Rose Journey

Testing perfumes with non-literal names is a lot of fun. With zero preconceptions, I am afforded the opportunity to try to figure out what the perfume was intended to be. In the case of Miller et Bertaux SHANTI SHANTI, the answer was clear within a couple of seconds: rose.

A rich rose this is, with petals piled up to the sky, but SHANTI also evolves quite a bit. Initially the rose note seemed only to be rose petals, but then the composition began to manifest some greenness, leading me to believe that we might be moving toward tea rose territory.

That impression was dashed within a couple more minutes, as the greenish quality faded and the rose began to smell ever-so-slightly sour to my nose, reminding me just a tiny bit of Hermessence ROSE IKEBANA.

Next an unidentifiable spiciness began to emerge. I was not sure at all what the spices were, but as they continued to crescendo and the rose faded a bit, I came to realize that this composition must contain cumin and pepper, as I kept thinking of The Different Company ROSE POIVREE. I greatly prefer SHANTI SHANTI because the spices are kept in check and never reach the point of smothering the rose.

I do not smell any cardamom or much in the way of patchouli in this composition, but I do smell a spicy rose! (I confess that my failure to detect patchouli may have something to do with the fact that I was wearing Juliette Has A Gun VENGEANCE EXTREME last night...) All in all, this is a fine rose perfume with significant development and lots of interesting twists and turns.

Sweet roses with a dash of spice

Shanti Shanti, although not predominantly rose, is undeniably rosy and sweet. This fragrance tickles the senses, with it being somewhat exotic and unique.

This tends to have a much drier rose note than what many people may be used to. In some ways it reminds me of potpourri. It has a slight dusty and spicy feel to it.

Shanti Shanti sits on the skin rather lightly. Had this scent been stronger, I would have said that it would make a marvellous Winter scent, however with its subtlety, I'd also recommend it for Spring wear.

In the heart, the notes like patchouli and intensified spices, become more apparent. Iris tends to soften the rose note a little, creating a powdery and feminine quality.

This is a rose scent, far from those typically conservative, 'English Rose' type scents. Shanti Shanti, like its foreign and enticing name, speaks exoticism.

This fragrance felt very velvety and rich on my skin, however the lasting power wasn't all that impressive, although I must admit that I wasn't disappointed either. I do really suggest this fragrance for those hardcore rose lovers that are searching for something that little bit adventurous.

We speak the inner OM...

The name suits this fragrance, and so does the presentation. When it comes to wellness, meditation, and relaxation, a striking packaging would be out of place. It’s no coincidence that monasteries are kept simple. The bottle is just as spartan. I associate it with clarity, an overview through simplicity, modesty in the sense of renouncing opulence and an overload of information; a sublime modesty, not a submissive one. I feel the same about the scent: initially an unobtrusive, slightly bitter freshness, then a delicate, slightly creamy rose followed by soft, spicy undertones. I cannot consciously sniff out patchouli - rather sandalwood, but perhaps it’s in this fine spice that gradually comes through and keeps the fragrance interesting. At no point in the development of the scent does my nose feel "overfed"; instead, there remains a desire for just a little more. I have to restrain myself from spraying more. Dramatic changes from top to base notes are spared; the rose remains soft and dark. In this form, I can tolerate the Bulgarian rose very well; years ago, I was tempted by "Fleurs de Bulgarie" by Creed, only to find that this creation quickly became soapy and also strict on my skin. This is not the case with "Shanti Shanti." A fragrance chooses its wearer, not the other way around...

Soft and Peaceful

I am somewhat surprised by the relatively unadorned bottle. Any other manufacturer would have tried to visually represent the delicate powdery rose note in some way.
The opening is very fresh-floral; the ingredients are not listed, but I would say typical citrus floral notes have been used here. Very quickly, the beautiful rose, powdered by iris, develops. How wonderful! I recently discovered my love for rose fragrances and must say, this one is almost (but really only almost) a counterpart to Black Tie with its dark rose note.
Cardamom is only slightly detectable in the opening; the other suspects like sandalwood and patchouli hold everything together and elegantly round it off, with the patchouli behaving very politely and reservedly.
The name Shanti-Shanti (meaning peace and tranquility) is very well chosen, as this fragrance has a soothing, calming effect. Very nice for days when you are really annoyed by everything and there is no mom around to comfort you.
