The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1972 by Shiseido, Lordos is a fragrance that bridges the aromatic and woody realms with a fresh spicy twist. The composition opens with vibrant notes of rosemary, lavender, bergamot, lemon, and basil, creating an invigorating freshness that cuts through the powdery warmth of tonka bean and vanilla. At its heart, Lordos features a delicate balance between the green vibrancy of geranium and carnation, the earthy depths of moss, and the floral softness of rose. This blend results in a scent that is both grounded and uplifting, capturing the essence of its era with lasting elegance.
Apply Lordos sparingly — its fresh top notes are bright but fleeting. The woody and powdery base notes emerge gradually over an hour, so layering can enhance its longevity without overpowering the delicate balance of the composition.
