The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1997 by Shiseido, Camélia Superieur is a fragrance that captures the essence of refined femininity. The composition opens with a powdery and green freshness that transitions into a lush floral heart, balanced by woody undertones and a subtle lactonic warmth. This harmonious blend creates an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication, reflecting Shiseido's long-standing reputation for blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern luxury.

How to wear it

Camélia Superieur's base notes bloom gradually over an hour, so it's best to apply one generous spritz and let it develop naturally. The fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, making it perfect for intimate moments or quiet evenings.
