Shine Despite Everything is a homage to the legendary motto of Sarah Bernhardt, the renowned French actress and trailblazing icon of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Widely regarded as the world’s first modern celebrity, she was also a fashion icon, visionary, and astute businesswoman who challenged gender boundaries.
The Divine Sarah, as she was known, was universally described as flamboyant, avant-gardist and charismatic and these three traits are captured by the three main accords of this Parfum Intense.
The Flamboyant accord is a spicy blend of opulence and sophistication powered by the glamourous combination of turmeric seeds and incense Orpur™ that open the scent with an unforgettable signature.
The Avant-gardist accord is a sumptuous blend of iris Orpur™ enhanced by the unexpected, addictive caramel and amber notes of Rosyfolia Orpur™ which add a warm, resinous depth.
The Charismatic accord combines captivating notes of Coumarine and premium-quality vanilla, finished by Akigalawood for an enchantingly soft, mesmerising trail.
Part of the Atkinsons 1799 Reserve Collection, Shine Despite Everything is a glorious, glamourous fragrance dedicated to those who, like the Divine Sarah, do not fear glory and face life with tenacity and intensity.

Atkinsons 1799 is one of the oldest perfume houses and embodies English perfumery, recognized worldwide among royalty and aristocracy. Aristocracy, a key value of Atkinsons, is felt in everything, from the design of the bottle to the retail positioning carried out through luxury perfume shops. In the early 19th century, James Atkinson created an English cologne, remarkably fresh, simultaneously warm and spicy, yet completely unlike the fashionable Italian colognes. The brand's archives hold original handwritten books containing information about the brand's products, original catalogs, bottles, and labels, as well as mentions of the most devoted clients, including Napoleon Bonaparte. Despite its rich history, against the backdrop of English perfumery, which is held hostage by its past, Atkinsons positions itself as a brand perfectly suited for the lifestyle of modern ladies and gentlemen.
