Shiseido Rising Sun is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019, created by Jean Jacques. Rising Sun opens with Sea Water, Pebbles, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Mirabelle Plum, Musk, Coconut, and Cashmeran. Shiseido's Rising Sun carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive, unusual summer scent. Some adore its mineral, solar uniqueness and 'your skin but better' vibe, others find it strange, metallic, or fleeting. Definitely try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

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:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate performance and clean, subtle nature make it suitable for casual wear, especially in warmer weather. While some find it unique enough for dates, its skin-scent quality might get lost in formal settings, and it's too gentle for vigorous 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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Rising Sun opens with a fresh, slightly salty sea breeze and unusual mineral notes, brightened by a hint of lemon. The heart unfolds with creamy ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine, before settling into a soft base of coconut, plush cashmeran, and a touch of sweet mirabelle plum. It's a skin scent that aims for a sun-warmed, clean feeling rather than a typical tropical punch.
