Shiseido Zen Essence Eau de Parfum is a floral musky perfume for women, inspired by the peaceful beauty of zen gardens. Tangy bergamot and luminous jasmine open onto a delicate iris heart wrapped in mineral musks, before warm cedarwood and vanilla settle into a soft, lasting trail. Shiseido imagined it as a sensory ritual that invites you to slow down and find your inner balance through the day.
