What does Shimotsuki smell like?

The top opens with yuzu, silver fir and snow, while peach skin and kelp take some of the edge off the chill. In the heart, iris, white tea and Bulgarian rose otto build a floral, powdery line. The base leaves a woody, creamy footing of hinoki cypress, Australian sandalwood and musk, with the sweetness and light spice staying in the background.

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. With few ratings behind them, these figures are more a tendency than a firm measure. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine. Its profile is close to Mugler Over the Musk and Locherber Dokki Cotton.
