Fleur Excellente

The quiet sophistication of stepping into a dimly lit room where the soft glow of a single candle casts shadows, and the air is filled with the delicate scent of fresh blooms.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Fleur Excellente by Shiseido was launched in 1998, capturing the essence of refined elegance that has long been synonymous with the brand's heritage since its founding in 1872. This floral fragrance opens with a bright and radiant burst of white florals before diving into a deeper, more complex heart of yellow florals and lactonic accents. The composition is further enriched by musky and powdery notes that create a sense of warmth and comfort, while subtle animalic elements add an intriguing layer of depth.

How to wear it

Apply Fleur Excellente in light layers to allow its nuanced composition to unfold gradually. The white florals are bright but fleeting, so focus on the heart notes by layering it over your usual skincare for a more lasting effect.
