What does Ginza (2021) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it stays close without disappearing. Most voters pick spring and summer, and winter is the least chosen season. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and more than half of voters read it as feminine. Rochas Girl and Shiseido Ginza (Eau de Parfum Murasaki) share a close profile.

The scent reads as one fresh, floral whole: jasmine, magnolia and orchid come first, while pink pepper and pomegranate add a light fruity sweetness. Sandalwood, hinoki cypress and patchouli give the flowers a woody base.
