Hisui (Jade)

Hisui (Jade) from the Japanese brand J-Scent is a bright white floral with citrus and a mossy, woody base. Everyone who describes it calls it floral, most also notice citrus, a sizeable minority find it woody, and smaller groups mention sweetness, green and musk.

Mandarin orange, lemon and bergamot give the opening a juicy, sparkling freshness, while black currant adds a tart, green fruitiness. The heart is a white-flower bouquet: lily of the valley brings a dewy freshness, jasmine a sunny radiance, ylang-ylang a creamy sweetness, tuberose a lush, buttery depth and orange blossom a honeyed glow. The base is classic and grounded, with patchouli and oakmoss giving an earthy, mossy richness, sandalwood a creamy woodiness, and amber and musk a soft, warm finish.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like polished white florals with a chypre-like backbone. The profile works for spring and summer, daytime and evenings, and suits elegant occasions. Those who enjoy citrus-lifted white florals with a mossy base should find it graceful.
