In 1998, Shiseido introduced Fleur Excellente — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A feminine fragrance rooted in the floral family. Conceived and brought to life by perfumer Michel Almairac. Released in perfume extract.
Country of origin — Japan. Fleur Excellente Shiseido — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Fleur Excellente is built as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Shiseido is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract keeps the right density and pace of development.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Whiteflower, Floral and Musk. At family level the scent maps to Floral.
When the structure is mixed the fragrance opens as a single chord with a lush white floral mood: Gardenia, Jasmine, Mimosa, Rose and musk. Here 5 notes sound as one integrated frame, building floral tenderness that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The inner phases are felt as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In summary Fleur Excellente holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best judged through real development.
