The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1978, Auslese by Shiseido is a fragrance that marries freshness with warmth, embodying the brand's enduring commitment to elegance and sophistication. The composition opens with bright citrus notes, which give way to a powdery and floral heart, before settling into a musky base that adds depth and complexity. This blend creates an intriguing contrast — crisp and clean yet envelopingly warm.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays at your pulse points. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that freshness throughout the day. For a more subtle, musky aroma, apply less in the morning and let it develop over time.
