Shi-sõ by Nomenclature is a Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Shi-sõ was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Bertrand Duchaufour. The fragrance features Shiso, Rhubarb, Mint, Black Currant, Ivy, Anise, Cardamom and Vervain. Shi-sõ is based on Givaudan’s herbaceous Glycolierral® molecule that captures the cool scent of a crushed ivy leaf. An iconic herb in Japanese cuisine, shiso is seldom featured in fragrance. But its smell – a blend of mint, basil and cumin with a metallic flash -- has long fascinated Bertrand Duchaufour. In shi_sõ, he spins it into an arrestingly modern take on a classic genre, the eau de Cologne, replacing citrus with a kaleidoscope of green notes. The zesty bite of cardamom. A sprig of cool spearmint. Lemony verbena. Raspy blackcurrant. Soapy almondy anise. Tart rhubarb. Glycolierral® wraps the bracing blend in a sweet, milky, sap-laden effect.
