The story behind the bottle.
Inoui by Shiseido was launched in 1976, marking its place as one of the brand's enduring classics. This Chypre fragrance opens with green notes and Amalfi lemon, creating a fresh and vibrant top layer that feels like a burst of morning dew on lush foliage. The heart of Inoui is richly layered with jasmine and freesia, adding floral warmth to the composition. As it settles into its base, oak moss and civetta introduce an earthy, balsamic depth that grounds the scent in a sophisticated and lasting elegance.
Inoui has a long-lasting base that takes time to bloom fully. Apply two sprays to your pulse points for an enduring aroma that evolves throughout the day. The green and spicy top notes are fleeting, so enjoy them while they last before diving into its rich heart and earthy base.
