Scent as part of identity: finding your perfume signature

English Garden Solid Perfume is a women's solid perfume by shiro, released in 2016.
The composition combines aromatic, floral and woody facets, evoking a well-tended English garden where fresh greenery meets aromatic herbs and dry cedarwood.
The shiro fragrance house, founded in London in 2015, builds its aesthetic around the Japanese principle of wabi-sabi — the beauty of simplicity, naturalness and expressive imperfections.
English Garden Solid Perfume fits this DNA perfectly: the fragrance does not strive for excessive ornamentation, but reveals its character through clear green and woody nuances.
At the heart of the composition is a cool herbal accord with minty freshness, green lavender, rosemary and marjoram.
Clary sage and Litsea cubeba add dry spiciness and a light citrusy spark, while geranium and palmarosa soften the fragrance with delicate floral nuances.
As it develops, English Garden Solid Perfume becomes calmer and deeper: the aromatic herbs gradually blend with cedarwood, which creates a clean, slightly dry woody base.
As a result, the perfume feels fresh, composed and slightly meditative at the same time — ideal for those who enjoy green compositions with a distinctive character.
It is positioned as a women's fragrance with very strong sillage.
Its green-woody profile may be especially striking in spring and summer, as well as during the transitional seasons, when you want to express your individuality not with a sweet accord but with fresh herbal energy.
The exact amount of English Garden Solid Perfume to apply to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information, so it is best to adjust the amount gradually, taking your own perception and the reactions of those around you into account.
The perfumer behind the composition has not been disclosed, nor have any other concentrations of this fragrance.
This fragrance is worth considering for fans of aromatic, green and woody compositions who value freshness, expressive herbal facets and an unconventional character.
