SyntheticWhat does Ginza (Eau de Parfum Murasaki) smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters find it feminine and modern.
The top is Fuji apple, violet and pomegranate, giving a fruity sweetness and a fresh feel at the start. Jasmine, freesia and wisteria in the heart add a soft floral note. Patchouli and sandalwood in the base finish it with a gentle woodiness, and a synthetic touch stays noticeable throughout. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Bloom and Shiseido Ginza (2021) have a close profile.
