Shiso

Beautiful earthy fragrance with a wonderful calming effect. There is an aura of tranquility with this perfume. On those very stressful, nauseating days where often times a fragrance only exacerbates the feeling of sickness, Roger & Gallet's Shiso has a profoundly de-stressing effect. It is softly fresh and transports the wearer to a deep, misty forest, where nature thrives and peace reigns. In a time where there are strong fragrances galore on the market, this is a wonderful discovery. A rare perfume that stays throughout the day and brings the wearer back to the moment of inner peace and zen.

Received this in a Eyviab’s giveaway and I LOVE it! This was a surprise giveaway. She asked me what type of scents I preferred and, I must say, she did a GREAT job sending what she thought I’d like! Not sure why it’s high in the “dislike” column. To me, it has a soft spa-green-floral innocence. Hint of citrus. A bit peppery? Dries down to a warm skin scent — everything I like about tea fragrances (although there’s no tea in it?). Office-friendly, with surprising longevity.

Amazing one! I'd need an eau de parfum which smells the same, but with strong sillage and longlasting performance...

Oh, I quite like this one! The shiso note gives it a green and herbal twist in comparison to more citrus-forward EdCs. Shiso smells refreshing yet elegant and it would be a perfect pick-me-up scent during hot weather. I can still smell traces of the fragrance, especially the shiso note, after 12 hours. I consider this to be a great value fragrance that is worth trying.

special fresh + floral smell, not so much orange for me. Long lasting fragance, for me smells better the day after more sweet and soft. Cannot say is a complicated fragance, doesn't change much.
