The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, The Ginza by Shiseido is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance and sophistication. Perfumers Karine Dubreuil-Sereni and Maïa Lernout have crafted a composition where bergamot and sweet orange create a bright citrus opening, while rose and jasmine sambac bring depth with their rich floral notes. The base of sandalwood and cedar provides warmth and comfort, making this scent both fresh and inviting.
One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of The Ginza. It blooms beautifully on skin within minutes, so avoid layering multiple times in quick succession. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than filling a room.
