The SHINJU Experience
SHINJU unfolds uniquely on each wearer, creating a personal fragrance journey that evolves throughout the day. The opening shimmers with the bright, slightly honeyed notes of narcissus and the creamy exotic warmth of tiare flower. As the fragrance develops, it reveals a luminous floral heart where the sacred lotus, ethereal lily, and opulent jasmine create an aura of serene beauty. The composition finally settles into a rich base of amber-like labdanum and smooth amyris wood that surrounds you with a warm, radiant glow reminiscent of a pearl's lustrous surface.

The Art of Proper Application
When applying perfume, patience reveals the true artistry behind each creation. It's important not to judge a fragrance the moment it touches your skin, as what you'll initially detect is primarily the alcohol base—the carrier that dissolves and preserves the precious essential oils. This alcohol evaporates within moments, making way for the sophisticated composition beneath.
Once the alcohol dissipates, you'll begin to experience the exquisite symphony of aromas that have been carefully orchestrated by the perfumer. This harmonious blend represents the true essence of the perfume—a balanced composition designed to unfold gradually on your skin.
The journey doesn't end there. As the perfume binds with your unique skin chemistry, it reveals multiple layers of depth from the various top, middle, and base notes. With chypre fragrances in particular, this evolution is especially remarkable as the fresh citrus opening transforms through floral heart notes before settling into rich, earthy base notes that can last for hours.
Why You Shouldn't Rub Your Wrists Together
A common mistake when applying perfume is rubbing the wrists together after application. This seemingly innocent gesture actually disrupts the fragrance's intended development by:
- Creating friction that generates heat, which alters the chemical structure of the perfume
- Breaking down the delicate molecular bonds between fragrance compounds
- Accelerating evaporation of the more volatile top notes, causing them to disappear too quickly
- Compressing the fragrance timeline, preventing you from experiencing the perfumer's intended progression
Instead, simply spray or dab perfume onto pulse points and allow it to dry naturally. This preserves the integrity of the fragrance and ensures you'll experience each note as it was designed to unfold—a true sensory journey from first application to the final lingering base notes.
"SHINJU is simply extraordinary. I've received more compliments wearing this fragrance than any other. It has this luminous quality that truly captures the essence of a pearl - precious, rare, and naturally beautiful. The way the florals seem to glow against the warm base notes creates something truly special that lasts throughout the day." — Bev. C Verified Customer Review

Our Committment
Small-batch production ensures exceptional quality control.
Each perfume represents the art of traditional perfumery combined with modern ethical standards.
Handcrafted with attention to detail that mass production cannot match.
Natural perfumes evolve uniquely on each wearer's skin, creating a personalised scent experience.
Free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, and harmful chemicals that can cause skin irritation.
Each scent captures the authentic essence of its botanical source.
THE DIFFERENCE
When perfumes are crafted from genuine botanical sources rather than synthetic approximations, they reveal complex aromatic profiles that evolve on the skin. Your perfumes preserve the complete character of each plant, not just the dominant notes but the subtle,
harmonising elements that give natural scents their depth and authenticity.
This creates fragrances that interact uniquely with each wearer's body chemistry, developing differently throughout the day rather than remaining
static like many synthetic scents.
The result is a more intimate, personal
fragrance experience that tells a story about both the natural world and the
individual wearing it.
The Art of Proper Application
Unlike conventional fragrances dominated by synthetic compounds, our perfumes harness only the purest botanical extracts and absolutes, preserving the authentic essence of each precious flower and plant. Through meticulous selection and artful blending of nuances and chypre elements, we create compositions with sophisticated undertones that unfold gracefully on your skin. Each scent tells a unique story that evolves throughout the day, revealing layers of complexity that synthetic perfumery simply cannot achieve."
