*Shotai* is an enigmatic fine fragrance from Japanese perfume house ERAM, built around poetic musings of grasping fleeting dream fragments on quiet autumn nights.

About This Fragrance

Marked as product number three in the house's creative catalogue, the composition explores the intoxicating tension between midnight silence and unexpected emotional anticipation.

Scent Profile

The fragrance introduces itself with a lively opening of sweet orange, crisp lemon, and tart cassis berries that contribute a tangy green briskness. As the bright citrus elements settle, an opulent floral bouquet of white gardenia, classic rose, and jasmine unfolds to add creamy sweetness and harmonic floral depth. In the base, rich balsamic resins and creamy sandalwood interlace with dry, dark leather, producing a multifaceted woody oriental finish.

Who It's For & When to Wear It

This composition is an exceptional choice for wearers drawn to opulent floral and leather harmonies that convey mystery, artistic flair, and layered sensory warmth. It serves wonderfully during evening gatherings, nocturnal strolls, or quiet hours dedicated to reading and deep reflection. The fragrance naturally complements sophisticated dinner wear, tailored dark fabrics, and reflective nighttime settings.
