ZEN - Eau de Parfum

Not the Zen I remember

I was born with a great nose. Just sayin. My grandmother was perfume obsessed and had every old classic imaginable in the 70s when I was a child. Shalimar, Lanvin, Youth Dew, White Shoulders, Tabu, etc. I always loved perfume. But the one I fell instantly and forever head over heels in love with was Zen. The smoky, incense-y floral, without a hint of cloying sweetness, transported me to another world, and I have never forgotten it! My taste in fragrance has stayed true to its origins. I still love woody incense with a hint of floral and wet forest floor. Please, please bring back the original. It was just too gorgeous to remain just an unforgettable memory!

I will never going to buy this perfume again

Is absolutely a skam it doesn't even smell like the original , waist of my money

Will definitely purchase again!

I'm 65 and my brother first bought me the original zen in a black bottle. I loved it! Bought the new and didn't like it at first but after misplacing it, found it and absolutely love the scent!

I like it but it's NOT THE SAME

i don't understand why Shiseido discontinued the original perfume that had a class, grace, and sophistication. the newcomer is mesmerizingly refreshing and all, but it CANNOT BRING BACK the sweet memories of my young adult life. I love the classic original Zen so much.

don't like

I purchased this product but i don't like the fragrance. It is NOt the original Zen. When will you bring the original back.

Love Zen

My favorite of all fragrances!!!! Love love love it!!! Very clean and pleasant!

Ever since December of 1990

I met my wife in Japan, and needed a gift for her. After shopping for quite some time, I came across the Shiseido counter. And we both fell in love with the fragrance ever since. My wife of 32 plus years has been using nothing else but Shiseido.

Smells like sunshine

I have loved this fragrance for years. It makes me happy when I wear it.

Wonderfully surprised

I absolutely love this parfum! Light and crisp scent

What happened to the original scent?

I've used zen many years ago like the 90s it was the original black canister and it smelled amazing one of a kind scent. I've looked for it everywhere all fragrance sites and I can't locate it. Now this new version doesn't even come close to the original scent and the bottle is to bulky and unattractive. Not happy with this product at all.

Disappointed

I have been using same perfume more than 10 years and Zen does not last more than couple hours anymore. You guys changed the formula for sure. This perfume used to be a gem now it lingers an hour and that's it. It's too bad I am very disappointed and sad about it because this was my signiture scent.

Delicate, Yet Softly Lasting

I love this perfume! I actually smelled it first in a Shiseido store in Chicago, where I started to buy it then, but hesitated because perfume often "turns" on me if it has a lot of synthetic fragrance oils in it. I wore the sample the sales lady sprayed on me all day and it never turned - a sign of a high quality product! I came home and ordered it immediately. It is crisp and clean, with a hint of citrus and creamy flowers. I have received so many compliments while wearing this perfume. I never put on much, as I believe in not having my perfume proceed me into a room. Yet people always seem to catch its delicate scent. I will be a forever customer of this beautiful perfume.
