One way to forget the woeful winter weather, and its skin-damaging effects, is to invest in a fresh summery fragrance.

Encased in an elegant, golden bottle and smelling fresh, floral and woody all at once, it is with eagerness that I await the arrival of Shiseido’s intoxicating Zen fragrance.

On counters in New Zealand on September 8th, this fragrance is Shiseido’s third incarnation of Zen and is already a hit in both Germany and Spain.

While the fragrance is uplifting, it is also blended with stress-relieving aromatic ingredients such as rose, grapefruit, freesia and gardenia to relax and rejuvenate the wearer.
