As part of their autumn/ winter collection, Shiseido have just released Zen Eau de Parfum - a strong, bold fragrance that is the perfect Winter warmer.
Described as a floral woody scent this is a complex fragrance with top notes of blue rose, magnolia flower grapefruit, bergamot, peach and pineapple in combination with floral notes and base notes including white musk, vanilla.
Housed in a gorgeous square-shaped, gold-coloured bottle which was inspired by a Japanese teahouse. After the initially citrusy burst the spicy woody undertones come through.
This is a modern sophisticated scent that is strong without being overwhelming. Best of all its has great staying power and will linger long after the first spray.
Also if the man in your life could do with a more modern scent than you could do worse that treat him, and yourself, to Shiseido’s new Zen For Men.
Designed to "unite uncompromising sensuality and modern elegance" it has fragrance notes including kumquat, bergamot, Nashi pear, violet, rhododendron, nutmeg, leather, patchouli and musk.
This combination releases a woody scent with a hint of exotic fruit and a lingering musky base which definately has the wow factor.
With its ultra sleek packaging this is a stylish scent any man would be happy to wear.
