The story behind the bottle.
Myth of Saso by Shiseido is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women, launched during the 1980s. The composition opens with aldehydes and fruity notes that create a bright, fresh introduction. As it develops, ylang-ylang, rose, jasmine, and osmanthus bring a rich floral bouquet, while sandalwood and leather add depth and warmth. This fragrance is a harmonious blend of sweet florals and woody leathery accords, capturing the essence of elegance and sophistication.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Myth of Saso. The aldehydic opening is bright but fades into the rich florals and woody base over time. It's best worn during cooler hours when the warmth of sandalwood and leather can truly shine.
