Shiseido Zen (Eau de Parfum Aromatique) is a discontinued women's fragrance that builds a green, floral and powdery character from valerian, hyacinth and iris.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, though fall and winter are not far behind. It leans towards daily, leisure and office wear, and most votes read it as feminine.
It opens with valerian, hyacinth and Gentiana scabra, fresh and green. In the heart, Moso bamboo, juniper haircap, iris and violet add a soft, powdery floral touch. Vietnamese oud, amber and musk close it on a woody, spicy warmth. Serge Lutens Bas de soie and Parfums de Marly Galloway have a close profile.
