Which Should You Buy?
Shiseido Ginza is a divisive floral-fruity, with some finding it a chic crowd-pleaser and others dismissing it as a generic shampoo scent. If you're after a youthful, clean, everyday wear, give it a go.
This one is a real treasure, often mourned since its discontinuation. It's a luscious tropical fruit cocktail with a sophisticated floral woody depth that garnered passionate praise, making it a highly coveted, unique scent. If you can find it, it's worth the splurge, making you feel undeniably sexy and luxurious, though some may find the sweetness a tad much.
