About Shiso
Shiso by Jil Sander: A Fresh, Woody Unisex Debut
Jil Sander introduces Shiso, a new fragrance for men and women from perfumer Julie Massé. It sits in the aromatic woody family, with a crisp, green character built from citrus, juniper, and sandalwood.
Launching in 2026, Shiso takes its name from the Japanese herb, though the official note pyramid keeps the composition streamlined and modern.
The opening of Shiso is bright and slightly metallic, using aldehydes to lift a burst of lime. That citrus sparkle sets a clean, energetic tone rather than a sweet one.
The heart shifts toward juniper berry, bringing a faintly resinous, spicy freshness. It gives the perfume a brisk, almost gin-like texture that reinforces the aromatic feel.
Australian sandalwood anchors the base with creamy, smooth wood. The contrast between the sharp top and soft base gives Shiso an easy, wearable balance.
The overall accords read as aromatic, woody, and fresh-spicy, with green and aldehydic touches. It is not a loud scent; it feels refined, minimal, and contemporary—fitting for the Jil Sander aesthetic.
Julie Massé, known for transparent but characterful compositions, keeps the sillage moderate and the evolution subtle. The result is a unisex fragrance that works from morning to evening.
Shiso will appeal to those who like clean, woody fragrances with a green edge. It suits fans of minimalist design, unisex scents, and perfumes that favor restraint over projection.
Shiso is a quiet statement: a crisp, woody fragrance that feels fresh without being generic. It’s an intriguing new chapter for Jil Sander and well worth sampling in 2026.
