{"product_id":"imperial-shiso-rose-reserve","title":"Imperial Shiso Rose | The Modernist Garden | Private Reserve by Scent Lab 33 | EDP","description":"\u003ch2\u003e🌹 The Inspiration: Charlotte in Japan\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eImagine the legendary designer Charlotte Perriand traveling through Japan in the 1940s. She stands in a Zen garden, surrounded by the sharp, minty scent of Shiso leaves and the distant smoke of burning wood. \u003cstrong\u003eImperial Shiso Rose\u003c\/strong\u003e is the purest, most architectural interpretation of the Aesop Rōzu masterpiece. It is a rose scent for people who hate traditional rose perfumes. It is green, spicy, woody, and intellectually stimulating. It captures the tension between the industrial steel of modern design and the organic chaos of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Green Leaf and Petal\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance opens with a startlingly fresh blast of \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Shiso\u003c\/strong\u003e (Perilla) and \u003cstrong\u003ePink Pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is cold, metallic, and minty. The heart reveals the \u003cstrong\u003eRose\u003c\/strong\u003e, but it is the whole plant—stem, thorn, and petal—not just the flower. The base is a monumental chord of \u003cstrong\u003eGuaiac Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eVetiver\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing a smoky, creamy finish that lasts for days. It is a vertical scent, rising like a skyscraper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Alpine Herb\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShiso Oil (Hokkaido):\u003c\/strong\u003e We source a specific variety of red shiso that has a spicy, cumin-like undertone mixed with mint. It is sharp and vibrating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRose Absolute (France):\u003c\/strong\u003e A high-grade extraction that emphasizes the spicy, artichoke-like facets of the rose rather than the sweet jammy notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuaiac Wood (Paraguay):\u003c\/strong\u003e Known as \"Palo Santo,\" it adds a smoky, milky, rose-like woodiness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🧠 The Scent Psychology: Independence and Strength\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a scent of non-conformity. The clash between the bitter green shiso and the floral rose signals a complex personality. \u003cstrong\u003eImperial Shiso Rose\u003c\/strong\u003e projects an image of intellectual independence, artistic sensitivity, and resilience. It is for the pioneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e🇬🇧 The London Lab Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe used \u003cstrong\u003eGreen-Capture Synthesis\u003c\/strong\u003e. Shiso notes are highly volatile. Our lab utilized a molecular cage technique to bind the shiso molecules to the heavier wood resins, ensuring that the sharp green opening note persists deep into the dry down, maintaining the \"fresh cut\" feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✨ The Application Ritual\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to wear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art gallery openings, architecture studios, creative brainstorming, or when you need to feel sharp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to spray:\u003c\/strong\u003e Behind the ears and on the wrists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese workwear, oversized shirts, architectural jewelry, and minimalist aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e💭 From the Perfumer's Diary\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It's not pretty; it's beautiful. There is a difference. Pretty is easy. Beautiful has edges. This scent has edges. It smells like cold steel and warm skin. It is my tribute to modernism.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scent Lab 33","offers":[{"title":"50ml","offer_id":45768606220478,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100ml","offer_id":45768606253246,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/1642\/4126\/files\/1765602523553_5_8beadec2-f172-4e2f-b15b-edd264aa368c.webp?v=1767885658","url":"https:\/\/scentlab33.com\/products\/imperial-shiso-rose-reserve","provider":"ScentLab33 | Artisan Perfume House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
