Ferguson Lane in April is a Shanghai cliché for a reason — the magnolias bloom, the humidity hasn’t arrived yet, and the whole street smells like a florist’s fever dream. Magnolia opens dewy and green: crushed magnolia petals, narcissus, and fresh leafy notes, like a morning walk after rain in the French Concession. Then it blooms. Tuberose, neroli, and jasmine rise into a creamy white-floral heart — rich but never indolic, polished but never cold, composed by someone who genuinely loves flowers rather than someone trying to prove they’re expensive. Cedar, amber, and musk close it out clean and contemporary.
This is spring in a bottle, made for brunch people, garden people, anyone who stops to smell actual flowers on the street. Wear it when you want to feel put-together without trying too hard — crisp autumn evenings work too, when you need to remember what April felt like. EDP. Brand-new 2025 release from David Huang — performance data is still settling, but expect moderate, elegant projection.
The real thing, from the source — exactly as David Huang envisioned for Shanghai.
