Zen (Perfume) Shiseido arrived in 1964 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. A feminine fragrance from the chypre and floral families. Inspiration and execution — all of it is Michel Almairac. One of the scents from the Zen collection. Available as perfume extract.
Brand country — Japan, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Zen (Perfume) 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 composition of Zen (Perfume) unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The style of Shiseido is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Perfume extract sets the right density and pace of development.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Powdery and Amber enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In the top tier you catch radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Bergamot, Galbanum, Hyacinth and Orange blossom.
In the central layer you sense Clove, Iris, Jasmine, Mimosa, Narcissus and Rose carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Citrus, Green, Floral and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Ambery, Wood, Earthy / Mossy and Musk.
Taken together Zen (Perfume) holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.
