by Shiseido
Rising Sun by Shiseido unfolds as a subtle, skin-scented summer fragrance with a clean, marine-tinged freshness. The composition balances citrus and mineral top notes with creamy coconut, cashmeran, and ylang-ylang in the heart, creating a smooth, airy harmony that evokes sun-kissed skin and warm coastal air. It has a delicate, powdery softness that lingers subtly, reminiscent of a beach morning or a freshly dried cotton shirt in the sun. Most of the reviews describe it as unexpectedly unique—comforting, unobtrusive, and refreshing—offering a distinct alternative to typical tropical or fruity summer scents. It feels more like a mood than a scent, with strong mineral and marine aspects giving it a refined, organic quality. While not a bold or long-lasting fragrance, it excels in subtlety and uplifting presence during warm weather.
