The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1917, Bara by Shiseido is a Floral fragrance that embodies the elegance and refinement expected from this long-standing Japanese brand. The composition opens with a bright citrus note before diving into a rich rose-centric heart that is both delicate and powerful. This balance between freshness and floral intensity makes it a scent that feels lasting without being dated.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus opening will brighten initially but give way quickly to the rich rose notes that form the heart of this fragrance. It works best in cooler weather when the floral notes are more pronounced.
