Shine Despite Everything is an intense parfum, part of the Reserve Collection of extraits. It encapsulates the resilience and fortitude of Sarah Bernhardt, a glorious visionary who used her platform to challenge the age and gender boundaries of her time.

The fragrance opens with a flamboyant accord of tumeric seeds and incense Orpur, followed by an avant garde heart of Opulent Iris Orpur, Rosyfolia Orpur and warms notes of caramel and amber. The powerful scent is then rounded off with charismatic notes of Coumarine, vanilla and Akigalawood to leave an enchantingly soft and mesmerising trail.

Each Atkinsons Reserve Collection extrait is presented in an exquisite glass flacon, adorned with a delicate layer of gold-leaf, hand applied by Florentine artisans to make each bottle its own unique work of art. The bottle is decorated with a vibrantly coloured, reimagined design of the original lacquered medallion that adorned the Atkinsons face powder in the 1930s.
