Zen Eau de Parfum by Shiseido is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Zen Eau de Parfum was launched in 2010. Top notes are Freesia, Citruses, Lime and Lily-of-the-Valley; middle notes are Almond Blossom, Lotus, Tuberose, Mimosa, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Musk, Virginia Cedar and Amber.
Zen Eau de Parfum 2010 is a floral fruity limited edition presented to the market in 2010 in a cyclamen-purple flacon. This summer fragrance reflects the essence of summer night while wrapping you with beautiful scents of exotic flowers on a base composed of sensual musk, cedar and warm amber.
The fragrance opens with luminous accords of citruses and gentle tart and green accords of yuzu playing with crystal clear floral notes of lily of the valley and freesia. A heart of Zen Eau de Parfum blossoms with petals of sweet flowers (tuberose and jasmine). Their combination seduces with a sweet floral trail, while a base reveals musk, cedar and amber. This time the flacon reflects harmony of body and soul, as well as harmony of ingredients and theme of the fragrance.

To me this was a wonderful summer fragrance. It screams warm summer nights. I could wear it during really hot temperatures. It was a limited edition. I can still find it on line but it’s not very cheap. Projection is great, and it lasts all day. I loved it so much. I’m contemplating buying a new bottle. It’s so great, sexy, delicate, feminine.

I bought this from Amazon in February 2015 for $45 and never really "loved" it as I do the other Zen frags. It does not last very long...just a few hours on me.
The fragrance is a bit unusual. It's "green" to me and almost made me think of figs, as Mugler's Womanity has. Yet I still smell light flowers.
I just tried it again after a few years put up in the box in the closet, and I think I’m going to use it for a few days.
But, oh my! The bottle is truly gorgeous. Violet and magenta!

Sweet flowers. Magical. Tuberose, mimosa and almond blossom at their best. Alluring, sheer bouquet. Nothing tropical to me, but I understand why some people found it that way.
Whereas I associate golden Zen with autumn, this one smells to me like summer. Not the one that I am dreaming of, but the one that I already know. The summer in my homeland; middle of July, pink and orange sunset, hot days and chilly nights. It is harvest season, soon the golden autumn will come, the nature follows its cycle. Something will be gone, missed, something new will come.
Simply beautiful. Not very popular. I am rarely so impressed with the scent, that has NONE of my favourite notes. Poor longevity, but all good things must come to an end.

Great fragrance! Nice lime opening. Great flower-combo heart. Perfect end. It's dzen.
Girls, please use it! :)

Revisited my collection to find seldom worn scents and I can't imagine why I don't use this more.
It's very fresh, citrusy freesia at first with a soapier dry down of musk and a hint of amber.
The flowers pop up randomly throughout the first hour, slightly changing the scent in either direction.
Very pretty warm weather fragrance, or even for cooler days. On me it's one of those scents that would prompt a "mmmmm, what smells so good?"...
Relatively low sillage and moderate longevity, so this is a great daytime fragrance.

Smells like the beach. Coconut suntan lotion, with a side of piña colada. Fresh and summery. Can be found for bargain price on eBay.

This is a very peppery floral on me. Lots of mimosa, some freesia and a bit of citrus in the top. The base is very heavy on cedar which is what gives this such a sharp peppery vibe on my skin. There is a bit of a competition going on between the sharp peppery wood notes and the sweet citrus, they don't seem to blend well. There is also some musk in the drydown. Interesting, sharp, strong. Not for me though.

On my skin it lingers around a minute and half. Disappointment. Maybe I expected more since the yellow Zen is a perfection. This one is a fruity water.

Very very soapy fragrance, reminds me of freshly-shampooed hair. If you like clean, strong, soapy scents, ZEN is perfect for you.

I just love that fragrance. I connected with it the moment I tried it on my skin. It is simply ME. ;)))

While I'm not such a fan of the "regular" Zen, I am quite in love with the special edition. I can't wait for spring and summer to arrive, because this is the perfect companion for the sunny seasons.

Adorable! Just tried on my skin, the smell is delicious, couldnt stop sniffing my arm.
Floral tropical, perfect for hot weather. The kind of smell that put me on a good mood.

Just another tropical scented sun tan lotion. I wouldn't say it's that bad, but I just would not buy it.

i did tryed yestarday for a test and i like it , its not so strong , i think its vil be good for a summer days, i still can smell it on my jacket tha mean its long lasting.

I have to say, the packaging is gorgeous. I would love to have a sparkling purple cube on my shelf, so possibly that's why I tested this at the Shiseido store (despite not liking the other Zen fragrances I've tried).
This is a straight-up floral on my skin. The lime and orange notes, if they're there, are almost invisible. I get a whole lot of jasmine and freesia, which I like. However, as with the Zen Summer and plain old Zen. . . there is something very synthetic about the florals as they develop. I'm very conscious that I'm wearing a perfume, and it doesn't evoke any special feelings or ideas that I can translate into words.
I don't think I could really invest in this one, but it's inoffensive and very fresh for summer.

This is the far best summer perfume that I have ever had. :) two thumbs up. I love the smell. Feel light and fresh when Im wearing it. This is THE fragrance for me.

I agree with Elizabeth M. - tropical, but for me rather a tropical drink :)
The bottle is very beautiful. I love the simple shape and rich colours.
The fragrance is more on the floral than fruity side - a bit soapy from the beginning. I got a fruity-floral accord the moment I sprayed it, but couldn't detect specific notes. The middle notes come quickly and don't leave easily. The drydown for me is ambery with a floral creamy touch.
I'm not a lover of tuberose so ... I like original Zen much better. This one also smells a bit artificial for me. And even for summer nights - it's too heavy for my taste.
But I must admit - it does have staying power and sillage.

It's a tipical floral scent, sweet. Not similar Zen edp. It's perfect for summer night! I'll buy a bottle...
