The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Nyumonhei by Shiseido was launched in 1917, marking one of the earliest fragrances from this pioneering Japanese brand founded in 1872. The composition is a distinctive blend of green and herbal notes that create a fresh, spicy opening, leading into a sweet heart that adds an unexpected layer of warmth. This fragrance stands as a proof of Shiseido's early commitment to blending traditional elements with modern sensibilities.

How to wear it

Nyumonhei has a distinctive balance between its fresh top notes and sweet base. A light spritz allows the green and herbal elements to shine initially, with the sweetness subtly unfolding throughout the day. It pairs well with cooler weather when the warmth of the scent is most noticeable.
