Zen for Men. Shiseido

Shiseido launchs "Zen for Men" this month.

Me, BIG fan os asian colognes... And this one didn't disappoint me.
It's a gorgeous blend of exotic fruits, flowers and a touch of musky-incense notes.


Notes of kumquat, bergamot, kinkan, violet, nashi pear, rhododendron, nutmeg, leather, patchouli, agarwood and musk.


The opening of "Zen for Men" is a rich combination of exotic fruits.
A vivid kumquat, bergamot and Kinkan: (an asian type of orange), sparkling-juicy top notes surrounded of spices such nutmeg.

The clear but sweet essence of the Nashi and the violet reigns in the heart of the perfume with a surprising "deja vú" of a clean, cold smoky incense.
The zesty notes keep its position in the game, on the background of the composition in a effervescent way.

This cologne, in fact, could be gratefuly included on the succesful "CDG's Incense Series" line: It follows a parallel character with the above mentioned. The perfume shows a spiritual, smoky, playful, sexy yet elegant face.

Pleasant flowery touches from rhodondendron with leather and a pinch of musk brings us down Earth.
And here it comes the oud wood. Smoky-leathery-woody drydown with splashes of musk, patchouli, while the pear, violet and rhodondedron still around the juice as a whisper.

Despite its aparent difficult character, "Zen" is a minimal, kind of vintage, hypnotic yet calm perfume that made me love it on first sight.
Trying to dive on it won't be an option: "Zen" is an oda of scented sights and sounds.
Austere, reserved: A juxtapose blend of notes, fruits melting with an icy metallic flower heading on a musky-smoky woody base.
A breath of juices lying over pebbles. Heady metallic flowers dancing in the breeze, while the smoke of an incense stick dissolves itself with the aroma of a fresh cut agar wood piece.

Lacking the richness and complexity of a masterpiece, it's def. my third best perfume launch for men of the 2009, sharing the throne with "Powe" and "He Wood Rocky Mountain".
Spiciness with a complete lack of warmth - a spiritual "cold" burning incense. Solitude. Zen.
