The story behind the bottle.
Ginza Intense by Shiseido was launched in 2023, crafted by perfumers Karine Dubreuil-Sereni and Maïa Lernout. This Floral Fruity fragrance is inspired by the Ginza district in Tokyo, celebrating the inner strength and self-confidence of every woman. The composition opens with a burst of black currant, leading to a lush rose heart, before settling into warm notes of patchouli and vanilla. It embodies the passion, energy, and fire symbolized by the color red.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The fruity opening is bright but fades within an hour, making way for the warm patchouli and vanilla base notes that linger throughout the day.
