Shiso

Shiso, or perilla, belongs to the mint family, and its leaves smell part mint, part basil, with a sharp, spicy greenness that comes largely from perillaldehyde. Green shiso is served with sashimi in Japan and red shiso colours umeboshi pickles pink, while in perfume the herb stays a rarity, its sharpness fading soon after the opening.

How this is calculated

Each perfume counts once, even if a note appears at multiple pyramid levels. Percentages use the documented sample in each section, not the entire catalog. Associations can overlap and do not add up to 100%.

Rankings require at least 10 perfumes with relevant data; an association must occur in at least 3. Only the most frequent associations are shown.
