Parfums Berdoues Somei Yoshino is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Angéline Leporini. Somei Yoshino opens with Shiso, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Parfums Berdoues's Somei Yoshino carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This "chypre floral" is a divisive one, often dismissed as a Bath & Body Works dupe. Those who appreciate its delicate, clean floral heart find it a beautiful, sophisticated spring scent; others just get generic shampoo or nothing at all.

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.

About

Somei Yoshino opens with a unique, almost minty and herbaceous shiso note, hinting at green freshness. This quickly softens into a clean, dewy jasmine sambac, which often gets perceived as cherry blossom by many. The drydown features a surprisingly gentle patchouli, not earthy or heavy, providing a subtle, clean foundation rather than a traditional chypre base.
