Shiseido

6 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Shiseido range is made of

67% of the 6 Shiseido fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain freesia. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Shiseido returns to freesia more than to anything else — across 6 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads closer to the skin than the catalogue as a whole: projection averages 0.47 against 0.51 across all mapped fragrances. The margin is modest — this is a house closer to the centre of taste than to any edge of it.

One idea, or many

The Shiseido range spreads 0.124 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2012.
