What does shi_sõ smell like?

In shi_sõ, vervain, spearmint, ivy and shiso come forward, while blackcurrant and cardamom add a fruity, lightly spicy touch to the green. The accords read fresh, citrusy and floral, with a bright synthetic edge and woods staying in the background. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so they come across together as one cool, green impression.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and winter gets only a small share. Feminine and masculine votes are almost level, which fits its unisex label. Lacoste Essential (Eau de Toilette) and Burberry Mr. Burberry Indigo have a close profile.
