Rituals Seshen is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026. Seshen opens with Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Cardamom, and Melon, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Jasmine, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Pebbles, and Guaiac Wood. Rituals's Seshen carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This aquatic floral is a 'Frutiger Aero' dream for some, conjuring fresh, clean vibes. However, a vocal minority find it shockingly bad, describing it as industrial, fake, or even like 'toilet freshener'. Sample before you buy, it's divisive.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, clean, and aquatic nature makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, though its projection weakens over time. It's less ideal for formal settings due to its overtly clean profile, while its refreshing qualities lend themselves moderately to sport.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Seshen unfurls with a lively burst of bergamot and a watery melon, softened by sweet orange blossom. The heart plunges into an aquatic realm, with clean jasmine and airy lotus petals floating on a sea-kissed breeze. It settles into a smooth, mineral musk with a subtle woody warmth from guaiac wood, retaining that fresh, almost soapy cleanliness throughout its journey.
