About Shiso
Shiso by Jil Sander: A Green, Woody Scent for Everyone
Jil Sander's new release, Shiso, is a fragrance for both men and women, composed by Julie Massé. It sits within the aromatic woody family and has a crisp, green feel built around lime, juniper berry and Australian sandalwood.
Shiso arrives in 2026 and takes its name from the Japanese herb, though that note does not appear in the official pyramid. The result is deliberately restrained and modern.
The opening is bright and almost metallic: aldehydes sharpen the freshness of lime. This is a dry, sparkling citrus tone, never syrupy, and it gives the perfume a clean, energetic start.
Juniper berry anchors the heart, bringing a resinous, gently spicy nuance. There is a brisk, gin-like texture here that makes the aromatic side of the composition feel crisp and defined.
Australian sandalwood supplies a creamy, smooth base. Its softness contrasts with the sparkling top, giving Shiso a balanced, easy-to-wear character.
The overall accords are aromatic, woody and fresh-spicy, with green and aldehydic undertones. Projection is moderate and the evolution is subtle, fitting Jil Sander's minimalist approach.
Julie Massé has created a transparent yet structured fragrance, one that moves comfortably through the day without ever feeling loud.
This is for anyone who likes clean, woody scents with a green edge. It will suit those who prefer unisex perfumes with a restrained, contemporary feel over bold projection.
Shiso feels like a quiet, confident statement: fresh, woody and aromatic without falling into clichés. A noteworthy new chapter for Jil Sander, and one worth sampling in 2026.
