The story behind the bottle.
Shi-sõ, launched by Nomenclature in 2017 and crafted by Bertrand Duchaufour, is a composition that balances the vibrant freshness of green and aromatic notes with subtle fruity accents and soft spiciness. The scent opens with an invigorating burst of greenery, quickly giving way to hints of citrus and herbal nuances. As it settles, a gentle warmth from soft spices emerges, rounding out the overall experience.
Apply Shi-sõ liberally to ensure the green and aromatic opening notes make a strong initial impression. The soft spices emerge gradually over time, so it's best suited for daytime wear when you can enjoy its evolving character throughout the day.

Bertrand Duchaufour
The world traveler's noseBertrand Duchaufour is a perfumer-adventurer whose creations read like a travelogue of the senses. Trained at Roure (now Givaudan), his work draws deeply from his journeys through Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa.
“The art of perfumery must be at the same time, innovative, harmonius, and “sent bon”.”
