Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:

Its clean, inoffensive, and subtle character makes it perfect for the office or casual wear, as many reviews highlight. The poor longevity prevents it from being ideal for formal events or dates where projection is typically desired, though its freshness could suit a daytime casual date.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Shiro opens with the delicate, dewy freshness of cyclamen and cotton flower, instantly evoking freshly washed linens. This soft, airy introduction soon melds into a graceful heart of powdery iris and gentle rose, lending a luxurious, cosmetic feel. The base settles into a comforting, clean musk intertwined with a subtle, cool hint of spruce, grounding the ethereal white florals.
