I won this in a competition and was pleasantly suprised by the fragrance - it is fresh and sharp and clean but still floral (not too girly and sweet, which I don't enjoy in a perfume).
I would not have chosen this perfume based on the bottle alone as I prefer a very simple shape like YSL Cinema or Narciso Rodriguez. After using it I can appreciate it though - it is quite architectural and looks like a modern building.
It lasted well on my skin and deepened throughout the day - the clean sharpness developed into warmer muskier notes. This perfume is a reincarnation of the original Shiseido Zen and they have done well to make it into a more updated and modern scent.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes clean floral scents that develop into something warmer and deeper. A great one for summer.
I tried this fragrance back in 2009, I was given a wee tester in Farmers after showing an intrest in it. I had a friend with me and we both agreed at the time it was one of the nicer fragrances on the market.
This clear but gold cube is simple, classic and bold. Sophisticated and bold! Sturdy and solid!
I couldn't afford the $90 at the time but was gifted this for my birthday a few weeks after first finding it.
It's very zesty, musky and very floral scented. I wish I could actually describe how delicious this scent is but you really need to smell it for yourself.
A little squirt goes a long way. By this I mean squirt your neck and wrist and you will be smelling it all day. It lingers and it lasts. My 30 ml bottle lasted me quite sometime as I didn't want to always wear my expensive perfume lol. Once I had actually ran out, my local farmers were no longer stocking it. Writing this review has reminded me how much I loved it.
Definitely worth having a smell of, it does amazing things to your senses xx
