The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1996, We're for Men by Shiseido is a fragrance that blends the freshness of citrus with woody and aromatic notes, creating a dynamic contrast. Perfumer Maurice Roucel crafted this composition to be both vibrant and grounded. The bright opening of lemon, bergamot, and lime gives way to a heart of green leaves, rosemary, and lavender, before settling into a warm base of sandalwood and cloves. This fragrance is an embodiment of modern elegance, seamlessly transitioning from day to night.

How to wear it

We're for Men has a bright opening that fades within two hours. To ensure it lasts throughout the day, apply to pulse points and allow it to settle before dressing. It's best suited for daytime wear when its fresh aromatic notes can shine without overpowering.
