The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Tentatrice by Shiseido is a Floral fragrance that embodies the delicate balance between freshness and warmth, capturing the essence of white florals with a hint of sweetness and powdery musk. The composition opens with notes of orchid, lily-of-the-valley, and jasmine, creating an intoxicating aroma that feels both crisp and inviting. As it evolves, oakmoss and amber add depth and complexity, grounding the scent in earthy, mossy tones while maintaining its fresh character.

How to wear it

Apply Tentatrice lightly to pulse points — it blooms beautifully on skin within minutes. The fresh top notes are most prominent in the first hour, so reapply if you want a stronger presence throughout the day.
