Somei Yoshino

If I hadn't known shiso was in this fragrance I wouldn't have guessed it. The shiso in this is very soft -- none of the spicy edge you would expect from a fresh leaf. It's more of a dried shiso if anything, manifesting as a gentle, floral/herbaceous layer to the fragrance. Overall, a very easy to wear, comforting, and inoffensive scent that's well-blended between musky and floral without being too reminiscent of generic soap. Feels like slipping on your favorite ivory sweater when you can't be fussed to think about what to wear.

Pure spring. True floral with no trace of soap or powder, has a dewy and green note and blooms open into a spicy-musky base that makes this much more interesting than a straight white floral or the B&BW Cherry Blossom many are comparing it to. The similarity is in packaging only as far as I can tell.

my love loved it so i love it :D but more professionally i wanna explain it , it doesnt have high silage but really exotic and floral (better than the same product of gucci blossom) and as its written on its box , scent of japan in a bottle !

Spring-clean linens and soft florals. So fresh & pretty!

Not really my thing but pretty enough. Could have sworn it had some real cherry blossom in, but that must have been subliminal suggestion from the pretty box and the unusual mix of herby shiso with Jasmine. Goes faint very fast though and lingers as sweet, manageable patchouli which is fine though nothing special. Glad I'm not to only one to sense it as a bit generic and shampoo-like in parts. Performance isn't great. Too much of a delicate flower for me I guess. However, as always, your mileage may vary so give it a go if the ingredients intrigue you. I now want to try something greener or woodier with shiso in myself!
