Reviewed profile
Shiso gives this an unusual green, herbal-mineral tint over bergamot and orange. Peony softens the middle into a light floral, with sandalwood grounding the base, the whole thing quiet and fresh with a slightly leafy character.

The Purist
The Cool Sweet
Cool on the surface. Quietly sweet beneath.
Not where you'd expect to find it. It crept in and stayed. Some softness arrives that way.

Roger & Gallet Shiso carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
