Identity and Release History

In 2017, the world of perfumery was enriched by the exquisite creation of Brocard — the women's fragrance Shamisen, released in the concentration of eau de toilette.

This perfume, known in Russia as "Shamisen," embodies the brand's modern approach to classical elegance, combining fruity and floral notes in a harmonious composition.

Brocard, as the guardian of Russian perfumery legend since 2000, continues to surprise fans with innovative releases, and Shamisen is a shining example, reflecting its pursuit of sophistication and femininity.

Positioning and Wearability

Shamisen is created specifically for women seeking a fragrance with medium sillage, which leaves a delicate but memorable trace.

Its composition is ideal for daily wear, spring and summer days, as well as for romantic encounters, thanks to its fresh and playful character.

For optimal development, it is recommended to apply 4 or more sprays on the skin to feel all the nuances, or from 3 to 4 sprays on clothing for a more lasting effect.

The eau de toilette concentration provides lightness and airiness, making Shamisen a universal choice for those who appreciate unobtrusive beauty.

Creators and Impact

Behind the creation of this fragrance is the talented perfumer Marie Salamagne, known for her ability to combine traditional and modern notes in exquisite compositions.

Her work on Shamisen enhanced Brocard's reputation as a brand capable of attracting international masters to create unique perfumes.

This release not only strengthened the brand's position in the market but also attracted the attention of connoisseurs seeking something special among floral and fruity fragrances.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Shamisen begins with a refreshing start, where black currant and pear create a juicy fruit burst, complemented by the delicate aroma of white tea.

In the heart of the composition, floral notes unfold: cherry blossom and freesia lend airiness, while heliotrope and rose add warmth and romance.

The base of the fragrance is completed by a cozy combination of ambrette, cedar, and musk, providing longevity and sensual depth.

This layered structure smoothly transitions from a bright opening to a soft finish, creating a cohesive and memorable impression.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The scent truly unfolds beautifully in cool weather, without any excessive chemical notes. It gives a feeling of freshness, like a breath of spring wind with light floral notes. Although this fragrance is clearly Asian, spring is its time, but it's quite suitable even now )
1/5

It looks like this is just another attempt to copy something that's already a hit in the States, but "Haiku" by Avon wasn't brought to Russia, yes, the pyramid is almost identical, but this design is just awful, clearly ripped off from Faberlic. Honestly, it's a bad idea, and the whole thing looks like a complete mess

This fragrance is simply a nightmare. The floral notes are light, but the musk is so overpowering it's unbearable. The pear here isn't fresh at all, but some kind of cloying, only emphasizing how much the musk gets in your face. In short, I don't recommend it, it's total garbage, in my opinion
3/5

This fragrance is so delicate, as if you're breathing the freshness of blooming flowers on a cool day. It's not intrusive, not too bright, but rather light and airy. I liked it, but I can't say I fell head over heels in love with it 🌸

The fragrance turns out quite fresh and light, with floral accents, reminiscent of something tea-like. You can clearly smell green tea, a pear nuance, and rose, but unfortunately, it quickly loses its vibrancy. The base doesn't feel very high-quality, which is a bit disappointing. But overall, it's not a bad option for those who like light and unobtrusive scents )
2/5

The fragrance turned out quite simple, tea-fruity. The notes are hard to distinguish, everything is kind of blurry. If you look closely, you might catch light hints of cherry and pear, but it takes effort. The longevity isn't very high, but it's perfectly suitable for the summer season, overall, as one of the options
4/5

The fragrance is truly impressive, that's for sure. Yes, there's a bit of a chemical note, but these light pear and cherry notes are simply captivating. It's a shame it disappears quickly, that's a bit disappointing 😕
4/5

A fresh, light, and very feminine fragrance. You can feel notes of white tea, as well as light floral and fruity accents. It's truly delicate and gentle, creating an atmosphere of lightness and freshness
1/5

The pink floral scent turned out too light and even a bit faceless. It lacks naturalness; it's more of a fantasy than a real aroma.
3/5
3
The scent didn't grab me, it's too light and fresh, like they just poured water with tea. The floral notes are barely audible, and cherry blossom isn't noticeable either. I didn't detect any bright accents, just a light pink liquid that doesn't evoke emotions. I guess those who love fresh and tea-like scents might enjoy it 🌸
3/5

I tried this fragrance several times in the store. At first glance, it seems decent, but it doesn't stick in your memory. It gives the impression that it reflects its packaging: a Japanese girl in a garden, pink color, something cute. After purchasing, I decided to test it on my skin. Yes, it's really pleasant, but not impressive, not vibrant, and leaves no trace. It's suitable for those who just want to smell a little nice
