Tokyo Sky Tree Shiseido — a 2012 fragrance that needs no introduction. A feminine fragrance from the spicy, east, and wood families. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Made in Japan. Tokyo Sky Tree Shiseido unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate 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 Tokyo Sky Tree is built as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Shiseido is evident in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.
Right at the start you catch cardamom-peppery top notes: Ginger, Green Tea and Kumquat. Exactly these 3 notes build voluminous spicy depth that is impossible to miss.
In the middle phase you sense Frankincense, Iris, Mirabelle Plum, Pink pepper, Rose and Yew Berry carrying a opulent floral direction.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Powdery and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Spicy, Drinks, Citrus and Balsamic. The palette also extends to Floral, Fruit, Wood and Gourmet.
Taken together Tokyo Sky Tree sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
