Ginza

Exotic ve dramatik, biber ilk sıkışta belirgin. Yumuşak bir koku değil, yumuşak bir kokuya dönüşmüyor ve notalar arası geçişi çok ama çok yavaş. Tarz sahibi bir kadın kokusu ve güçlü bir kişiliği var. Kendini anımsatıyor ve buradayım diyor.

Warm, exotic, fresh woody floral scent. Very little of the pink pepper comes through to my nose on initial spray, maybe I detect it during the dry down, but it is very subtle. Instead I get a very 'fantasy' floral blend.. difficult to detect one of the middle floral notes from the other. Does not smell synthetic just very, very well blended floral. The dry down is clean and remains rather warm. Someone mentioned this one is an easy one to overspray and I would agree. It is a DENSE perfume despite the performance being a bit linear... you will overpower yourself if you go more than 3 or 4 sprays and it can quickly turn into a noxious sandalwood & fruitchuili mess. A tad boring and safe for some.. but to me this thing LASTS a loooong time. It actually does not smell like much else in my collection to be honest as the floral notes are just so incredibly well blended and the pomegranate, while not very prominent, settles into more of a tart, slightly sweet, juicy note. The patchouli is similarly subtle but I get it after an hour on skin, the sandalwood emerges much sooner however, at like 15-20 minutes. Even though I keep repeating that this is a "warm" scent, it is absolutely wearable year-round. The floral notes seem to shapeshift throughout the year and depending on weather/warmth/environment, you can pick up more of the jasmine versus the freesia but only slightly.

This was a gift my mom has received from a very close friend of hers and I am absolutely stunned by it. This is a soft, elegant and luxury scent without being pretentious. It smells like spring in a bottle. It may be strong at first spray but later on it is so delicate and femenine. 🌿🌸

A wonderfully feminine fragrance that’s fun in a classy way. It lasts well throughout the day, and I genuinely enjoyed it. Definitely a perfume I would repurchase.

This perfume is very strong, and one spray is enough for me. When I spray this on me from an arm's length away, I get a lovely combination of airy/watery florals together with interesting grounding woods, with a touch of spiciness. Sometimes the woodiness and spiciness comes out to the forefront of my awareness when I am driving for example, and it is really nice. I also have the Murasaki flanker, but that does not have the spiciness of the pink pepper achord, and it does not have that unique woodiness of the hinoki wood, which makes this perfume so special. I especially love the drydown I notice on my clothes, days after having sprayed the perfume -- on clothes and on hair the drydown is a light watery floral, like a light and beautiful watercolor painting made of colorful transparent washes. The floral combination here is really pretty, more like an abstract floral composition -- I can't seem to recognize any specific flower. I sometimes find florals in perfumes to be heavy or to remind me of "old lady" perfume, but this is not like that. The florals here are watery, airy, and abstract. There is also a sweet fruity note of pomegranate, but it is also abstract and does not remind me of real pomegranate, which as far as I remember is deeper and more bitter and with a touch of astringency - here the pomegranate is more like a sweet juicy note. However, this perfume also has it's downsides. I think it is designed to be light, but if sprayed too heavily it becomes suffocating for me, and it starts feeling synthetic and harsh, and the florals can feel rotten and heavy, especially if sprayed too heavily on skin, and the base notes can become a generic perfumy musk which I don't like. Sometimes the drydown on my skin can feel slightly rotten and heavy, if I spray too heavily. Also I wouldn't consider this a cosy perfume -- while pretty, it is too harsh to go to bed with. It is more like a pretty bra that makes me look good but which I want to take off at the end of the day. This perfume takes me on a journey, changing according to how strongly I spray it, and changing with time, with the florals and the woods coming in and out of focus. It can be load and clear and very feminine. I remember when I first got my bottle I thought the perfume was such a happy and womanly scent. Also my boyfriend seems to like it. Another thing I like about this perfume is the bottle -- it is such a lovely and practical bottle! It feels really nice in the hand and fits nicely in a purse.

I really want to like this - the wood and the freshness gives a nice clean girl vibe. But the white flowers are too screechy - they overpower the other (more interesting), notes. Currently testing the Datura flanker though - it's more wood focused which I wanted more from the OG. Try Datura if the white flowers put you off the OG.

What can i say about this one? Ugh! I love it so much! I can't wait to autumn to arrive to wear this fragrance! In my opinion it is not an autumn perfume, quite the opposite, you can wear it all year round, but for some reason I found this one perfect for the coming season! It's a youthful floral, but in the best sense, it's not as if you fall in a garden full of flowers, no, it's woody, not too intense... it's just too beautiful, I think it is very unique, not many perfumes smell like this one, and that's why I love it! 💓

Very clean, you can smell the orchid quite well. However, it is quite underwhelming... almost like a hand cream. It's a bit generic as well, but that's not an issue if you are looking for everyday perfumes. It definitely does not smell bad or unpleasant, perhaps it is just way too ordinary for me.

I'm on my second bottle of Ginza and it really is such a beautiful perfume. It's one of those fragrances that reminds me of being on holiday. The longevity is really quite good and lasts maybe 4-5 hours on me. Will forever be on my shelf.

Sweet, musky and generic. 2026 EDIT: I take back my review, partially. It IS sweet, musky and generic BUT it's actually quite nice. Now I am noticing the pomegranate more and more, and it smells cute, but I wish it was more tart like the pomegranate in Bright Crystal.

I tasted all Ginzas at the store and I prefer Ginza the most, but they don't have the sample of Ginza so the vendor gave me a sample bottle (so cute) of Ginza Murasaki instead which I really like and couldn't get enough of it. However after a few months I still couldn't shake off my desire for Ginza so I ordered one and I absolutely love it. It's really the scent that cheers up my mood, very joyful and sweet.

I've also smelled Murasaki, Night and Intense. Intense is quite different and very girly, floral and sweet. The rest are similar between them (I can smell the orchid and pink pepper more), but if I had to choose one of them, I would choose the Ginza EDP version.

I also find that this perfume is very similar to Mon Paris. This one is slightly less fruity but all in all, if you have one of them the other is not needed.

Few years ago I received sample of this fragrance and forgot about it. After a while I decide to try it. At first I wasn't much pleased, it was ordinary flower fragrance, but after it dries down it is so much more better. It is beautiful, I just could not stop smelling it. It's fresh, elegant, romantic, sensual, perfect for spring/summer. Today I bought big bottle of it, and I'm really happy with it.

Very shampoo-y fresh out of the shower hair smell. I did not find it synthetic or generic. Seems like a very good compliment getter.

A very classy perfume! For my taste, this is a 100% match. The fruity-woody smell makes me feel super fresh all the time.

It smells cheap and basic, there are way better fruity offerings than this. The Si line and Euphoria by CK is better.

Like! This was a blind buy but I did a lot of research beforehand. I wanted to try Ginza for years. With Ginza original, immediately receive Mon Paris vibes, but with a little pomegranate and slightly aquatic florals instead of the Mon Paris berry-rose combo. It also reminds me of You're the One (B+BW) but less woody, no rose, and more fruit. As of late, I have been turning away from gourmands and embracing freshie/shampoo fragrances that are only slightly sweet (e.g. VS Bombshell). Ginza was a risk due to its listed woody notes. However, it sweetens and softens in a lovely way as it dries. There is a very faint white musk vibe in the drydown, like a tiny whisper of Myth by Ellis Brooklyn. Ginza's patchouli is strong (IMO) but in a clean, woody way similar to Ouai's North Bondi. I have been getting away from many fragrances with strong patchouli, but this one is nice. One spray is all you need. Maybe two max, for those with a higher tolerance.

Sooo good. It's a simple and fresh yet very comforting feminine scent for warmish days. Gorgeous bottle and notes. Mom loved it. I could see any age group pulling this off.

To me it is identical of Si Passione by Armani, nice but sharp in some notes.

Sampled it at the store when I was wearing Beautiful Magnolia by EL and I could instantly tell the two are VERY similar. Ginza is a tad sweeter thanks to the fruity notes, otherwise they are almost impossible to tell apart, especially in the opening. I like them both, nothing complicated or overpowering, fresh white flowers, easy everyday wear.

The best summer🌅☀️ perfume but in the most sophisticated way possible😍😍😍 So unique - the pink pepper, hinoki and orchid are so special🧡🧡

Y'all this fragrance is soooo good! It's so chic, elegant and classy. It works for all seasons, day and night. Would definetly reccomend to people who like floral and clean scented perfumes. Very underrated but one of my favs!

This is a very nice scent. It is very fruity scent but the floral and woody notes compensate well. Slightly soapy. It is similar to Mon Paris but with a more woody and patchoulied drydown.

I really liked this Ginza a lot starting from the fresh, slightly spicy and fruity opening, then it becomes wonderfully sweet with a fruity scent but much more sweetened by some flowers that give the sensation of something very elegant, the finish is more woody and dulls the sweetness a bit, giving off something almost powdery

I love original Ginza and quite like the collection as a whole - it's very feminine, floral-fruity, elegant and wearable. Not too juvenile or too mature. I understand why some may call it basic, but it's basic in a good sense. I'd rather call it versatile; a capsule wardrobe for perfumes. The original Ginza being the most versatile, elegant and basic of all three. It is a well blended and balanced floral scent, with a fruity blast in the beginning. Actually it is the same pattern for all Ginzas. After a while it sits on skin as a mix of everything mentioned below, except patchouli and woods. On me it is not prominent on patchouli and not prominent on any of the florals listed. As I said, just well blended to be a lovely mixture of them all. Also, on me it never gets soapy or headache inducing, which happens for Murasaki and Intense. In this compartment it sits just in the beginning, being the least nauseating. (Murasaki is next and then Intense is the most suffocating of them all). The general quality of Shiseido scents - I have Zen and original Ginza + samples of Murasaki and Intense fragrances - is good. They may turn a bit soapy or sweet but never too synthetic and are well blended. If you're looking for a comparison between the Ginza collection: 1) Original Ginza is the most floral, inoffensive, subtle and versatile, and a safe blind buy to majority of people. It can be worn by all ages, in all seasons, day and night. It never gets ugly in the drydown and is not prominent on anything in particular. Some may say it lacks personality because of that, but it also makes it a beautiful perfume for any occasion. I imagine it as a perfect first floral scent for a young woman, who just discovers the world beyond gourmands. If you look at the Japanese inspirations, this is a young, beautiful wife during her wedding day. 2) Ginza Murasaki is the most juvenile of these three, rather pink than violet. The colours of bottles really say everything about this collection. It starts with a lovely fruity blast and then sits on skin as a fresh, carefree floral. This one is a young, romantic girl walking in Akihabara - not too crazy but still surrounded by neon lights, lollipops and video games. 3) Ginza Intense is the most sweet and sensual of them. It hits you with black currant and turns into a fruity rose scent. It's a lover met in the red and purple neon street after midnight. Not a femme fatale scent by any means, but intoxicating enough to evoke a hint of sexual attraction. If this is your ballpark, I'd however recommend La Nuit Tresor as far more sexier and not as mature as Si Passione - two perfumes that have similar vibe to Ginza Intense; you can read more about it on the Intense page. For me, the original Ginza is just what I need in my collection and potentially something every woman may want to have. I pass on Murasaki and Intense as fragrances I find OK but I can live without them. Taking some of the below reviews into considerations, it's perhaps worth sampling Ginza to check it against your skin chemistry. If you already own Ginza and are wondering whether to blind buy Murasaki/Intense, I strongly recommend sampling as you may find out they are less elegant or something that you just don't need.

Quite elegant, sensual and deep. I highly suggest to wear it at night for a special date. A touch of freshness with a strong woody and floral scent. The orchid is quite strong here in a good way. I love it but I might be bias since this has been my mother’s perfume since it’s launch so it’s comforting when I smell it and warm as her hugs!

I love this one! It is very girly but there is something different about it. I am not sure why people dislike this perfume but I think it is very original. It is light and fresh and I can wear it every day. Pomegranate is not strong and floral notes are combined perfectly. Quite uplifting.
