What do reviewers say about Shi and Dragonfly?
Here's the thing about Shi: it won't announce itself. No fireworks. No drama. Just clean, cool, almost-transparent calm. The aquatic opening is soft, the florals arrive without fanfare.Shi
A fragrance about stillness and light rather than drama. The rice and angelica give it an unusual texture, the rain notes in the drydown feel genuinely authentic, and the entire arc moves quietly.Dragonfly
