The Trained Nose

Note

Shiso

Carried by 5 fragrances in this catalogue

Shiso smells of herbs and green leaves, and is almost always printed in the heart.

What it is

It sits on herbs and green leaves.
Every fragrance here is measured on the same twenty-four axes.
How loud faint
It has to be dosed heavily before it is noticed at all.
How long it lasts short-lived
An opening material; it has faded before the heart.
