Shiseido Ginza Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni and Maïa Lernout. Ginza Intense opens with Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Vanilla. Shiseido's Ginza Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a slow burner. Generic and a bit samey to start, but give it time and Ginza Intense opens up into a gorgeous, sophisticated fruity rose that many consider a solid crowd-pleaser for its balanced sweetness and wearability. Others will probably just call it boring.

About

Ginza Intense opens with a bright, juicy burst of blackcurrant, quickly giving way to a delicate, fresh rose that feels plucked straight from the garden rather than heavily concentrated. As it settles, a soft, earthy patchouli emerges, grounding the florals, while a hint of vanilla adds a creamy smoothness, creating a well-rounded and subtly sensual scent. The fruitiness persists, keeping the rose from becoming too traditional, evolving into a sophisticated and understated aroma.
