Mint and rose are a dynamic duo, and here we have aromatic shiso putting pep in the step of voluptuous rose. There’s a pleasing friction between the combination of musky French centrifolia and syrupy Turkish roses, and shiso’s savory green. Iris, sandalwood and cedar are the wooden trellis upon which Rose Shiso climbs.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A quiet afternoon conversation beside an open window: the rose feels generous, while shiso’s savory green edge keeps the mood alert rather than romantic. Soft woods give the floral character a composed presence, suited to close company without leaning into sweetness.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the rose and soft woods to settle beneath shiso’s aromatic edge. Mild spring or early-autumn weather suits this balance of green freshness and floral richness; in warmer conditions, apply lightly to keep the fuller rose character restrained.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy rose but prefer green, herbal contrast to overt sweetness. It will appeal to lovers of botanical florals, restrained woody compositions and iris textures who want a rose fragrance with a savory rather than gourmand accent.
Release year
2024 (or 2020)
The nose
Alexis Dadier, a perfumer at Robertet, composed Rose Shiso. His interpretation brings aromatic shiso into contrast with roses from several origins, using iris, sandalwood and cedar to give the floral composition texture and structure.
Collaborators
Georges Maubert, Marie Jeanne’s founder, originated the creative concept: pairing Japanese shiso with rose centifolia evocative of Grasse. His encounters with shiso in Japan and later in Robertet’s laboratory shaped the brief developed into the fragrance by Alexis Dadier.
Marie Jeanne’s story
Marie Jeanne takes a raw-material-first approach, using pared-back compositions to make individual ingredients recognizable. Rooted in Grasse, the house emphasizes sourcing and traceability, with laboratory-inspired green glass and restrained packaging reflecting its focus on materials rather than ornament.
Rose Shiso ローズ シソ’s concept
The idea began with Georges Maubert’s discovery of shiso during a trip to Japan. Rediscovering its extract in Robertet’s laboratory prompted him to pair its earthy, herbal, slightly minty character with Grasse rose centifolia. Conceived as an imagined walk through a Japanese garden, Rose Shiso connects Japanese botanical inspiration with the perfumery traditions of Grasse.
Extra info
Rose appears throughout the official note pyramid: Bulgarian rose at the top, Grasse centifolia in the heart and Turkish rose in the base. Virginia and Texas cedar provide two woody accents. Although initially launched for Japan, Rose Shiso is also offered through the French brand website and international retailers.
