The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1917 by Shiseido, Hana Tsubaki is a Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's longstanding commitment to elegance and refinement. The composition opens with a fresh floral bouquet before transitioning into a powdery, lactonic heart that adds warmth and depth. A soft spicy undertone rounds out the scent, creating a subtle contrast that keeps it engaging throughout its wear.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms slowly on the skin, so it's best to apply two sprays and let it settle for about an hour before heading out. It reads better close to the skin than in a larger space, making it perfect for intimate settings.
