About This Perfume
Shiseido Zen smells like sunlit fruity florals over clean cedar and musk. It opens with pineapple, peach and bergamot, moves into gardenia, freesia and lily of the valley and settles on patchouli, cedarwood and amber. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days. Released in 2007.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike fresh fragrances.
Around $39.
