Description
Zen is the most famous perfume from Shiseido. The original edition was launched back in 1964 in a black bottle. A modern and transparent version of Zen signed by Nathalie Lorson came out in 2000 in a white bottle, replaced by the new Zen edition from 2007 that comes in a rectangular yellow bottle. The masculine version Zen for Men was launched in 2009.
New fragrances Zen Sun and Zen for Men Sun, fresh editions of the cult perfumes that reflect solar energy, come out in Summer 2013. The fragrances are limited editions.
Zen Sun opens with a fresh combination of bergamot, grapefruit, peach, black currant, citron, mango and lemon. Delicate heart notes include gardenia blossoms, blue rose, lotus, lily of the valley and cherry blossom. Raspberry, sandalwood and amber create a warm finish in the base.
The fragrances are available as 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

Prelandez – :
No resemblance with its original. This one is quite summery but not like beachy scents (not a single sun tan lotion vibe). It is really really citrusy. Grapefruit is heavy duty. Neither sweet, nor floral on me. Very fresh and clean. I can’t detect amber. Lasting power 1,5 hour on my skin, 3-5 hours on clothes.
Because of the very poor lasting power, i can’t recommend this one to anyone. There are way better options.

Light and nice. Peace and happy.
Perfect for summer.

How lucky for me to buy 100mls of this blind for $30.00 at Winners – and then just love it! And yes I have Dior Shine that it smells quite a bit like but the Dior cost over twice as much. I also smell the Zen in the white bottle that I previously had- Zen special edition 2009…. All in all, very pleased about this fab blind buy and it’s soft clean fruity smell…..

One of the light fresh summer scents. There’s lots of citrus, some mango and some light floral notes.
I like how aquatic and light it is. It’s something you just spray on yourself before going to beach.
Nice one for hot weather.
dikiy034 – :
Peach, but not a fruit pulp, rather the velvety peach skin. Not too sweet, very pleasant for summer days
ensuddyerenue – :
Watery, chemical, soapy. Peachy lime gel. I don’t like that. Made me sick.
completer – :
Was given this one for Christmas.
Surprised to see that its “too sweet”, absolutely not, grapefruit and black currant create that special uplifting atmosphere of the garden with berry-trees, all is fresh, crispy, juicy, – so you don’t want to waste time and go-pick-wash anything – you eat berries right from the tree under the bright sun.
Rasberries and mango go nicely afterwards, all is settled on the amber-apple-lotus finish.
Very long-lasting and positive. To me it is in one range-mood with Lolita Lempicka Forbidden Flower.
The bottle is heavy though)

Fruity and sweet,nice for spring. I think it’s too sweet for summer. Longevity is not good,need to reapply. Nice fragrance,but I think they must make another bottle.and different name. It’s not similar with other Zen

hmmmmm… finally I got it. it just launched over here and it come in one size only,100ml. i was excited for it coz in my imagination the smell should be very lively, little sweet like girly girly sweet. I like the colour of the packing, crystal pink in 2 tones. BUT BUT…the smell doesn’t stay long 🙁
even thou I try to reapply it from every 1 hr to 30mins. the top note smell is very refreshing but after a while the smell became soft & flat…. well as i ve bought it i ve to use it 🙂
wishing u all a happy day.

I’ve tried this today on blotter and made me very good impression! I was hopeing not to be a limited edition, but alas… Anyway on my nose it’s very bright, spring scent, indeed very similar to Dior Addict 2. I should test in on skin and edit my review.
diod21 – :
I agree this smells real nice and pretty, not too fruity, a nice sweetness , I find it attractive, except it is light and it was gone in half an hour.i agree this has nothing to do with the original!!
It is in my opinion a bit similar to Especially Escada, both pretty spring scents .
I might get it, not sure yet.

I was very surprised when I tried this one: Though it is supposed to be a light summer version, it lasts quite long on my skin.
The scent is very delicate – starting with fresh grapefuit/ lemon notes and turning more fruity-floral (without being sweet) after a while. Scent-wise, Zen Summer is not a real flanker of Zen, as it smells completely different. Love!
