Vocalise

Vocalise is a gorgeous floral-fruit scent. I wouldn't classify it as oriental. It's sweet fruit and vanilla but not gourmand. The florals are a lovely bouquet. It is just one of those well-blended fragrances that don't push any one note out in front but work together beautifully. It's an elegant scent, a classic one that will never go out of style. You can wear it anywhere. It's not going to push any boundaries, it's always in good taste but not in a boring way by any means. Performance is very good for me. I can still smell it the next day nose to skin. Sillage is a couple of feet. I can catch the scent when I move. Such a shame it's discontinued. I would continue to purchase this for years to come.

Glorious fragrance! I love all the Shiseido fragrances; they're beautiful and unique for me. Very very special. And the bottles, colours and names are all gorgeous.

I love this perfume indeed, it's elegant, sweet and floral, better for winter use.

A masterpiece of the floral fruity kind. Lots to love about this perfume. A lot accords and notes that I enjoy smelling. This starts off very rich in fruits with grapes, peaches, yuzu, and a lot of other fruits that appear to be mango, pineapple and frangipani. The flowers in this fragrance particularly the orchid give it a tropical punch. Jasmine, rose and lily of the valley give it a classy floral scent found in other fragrances that wear as formal evening wear fragrances. The rose is a nice touch, a deep dark rose. At the end it's woodsy with cypress. Taking this beauty with me when I travel during Fashion Week to Europe. Exotic, rich, heady, sweet, and unforgettable. I love the Shisheidos.

"speak.ask.promise.cry.whisper.shout.vocalise" Vocalise joins the tradition and imagination of no limits. For the mistresses of improvisation, who choose the best way to live - by intuition. The scent doesn't have a classic pyramid of notes. They circle around the lasting main accord. The fragrance doesn't change as quickly as the traditionally composed perfumes. The bottle was created by Aaoshi Kudo.

This Used to be my winter scent about 10 years ago. Pure spirited. This perfume will always remind me how I could see my own breathing on air, hear voice from snow on my every step, feeling the shining snow and crispy cold weather. ***<3<3<3***

this perfume I really feel regret to buy it. it's just plian and has nothing to smell. and there is no lasting power. and even when i spray it, the smell doesn't spread. it's strange. only if i put my nose infront of it, it got the smell.

I had a vial of this perfume..I think 13 to 14 years ago. It's one sexy, heady perfume. I'd say it's for winter.
