   |  Murasaki has been a favorite scent since adulthood! (I was a child perfumista!) Yes, it *is* hard to find. I understand that it might be available in Japanese speciaty stores, or so I have been told. It seems that Zen is the only fragrance seen at Shiseido counters these days.I love the freshness and green florals of Murasaki. The package insert states "floral bouquet from various roses and chrysanthmums and lilies...woody and grassy scents." The color purple...Said to be inspired by by the passion of red and the intellect of blue. 23 May 2009 |
  | A lovely, soft, impeccably balanced floral with a wonderful tinge of galbanum and a velvety, talc-y drydown, this scent has been in my wardrobe since 1981. It works in any weather, for any occasion, and it is never too much -- it is just exquisite and restrained perfection. Too bad it is not easier to obtain, as others have pointed out. But then, that only makes it that much more special. 24 January 2009 |
  | I just got my first splash bottle of Murasaki. It has a very strong powdery-rose note, tends to be a bit leathery on the dry down (on my skin). The heart note has a very intimate flavour. I'm surprised how fresh this scent is - not a fresh-citrus kind but a fresh-from-the-bath and ready for the evening reception. It's also a very elegant and classic scent. Worth a try, very ladylike. 20 October 2008 |
 | Murasaki means "purple" in Japanese. In the eighties, it came with a purple lid and clear juice. I stocked-up a few bottles before it was discontinued. It is a soft powdery second-skin type scent. Pleasant to wear everyday. 26 October 2006 |

| A difficult scent to find, which is surprising since it was also the scent of most Shiseido skin care products during the 1980s. A truly soft yet fresh scent with surprisingly long staying power. It's hard to find nowadays, but worth the purchase when you locate it. 19 May 2006 |
