Kyoto

Kyoto is the suspended memory of an old kimono forgotten in a closet, steeped in silk and time, purchased in a shop in the shadow of a temple. A rarefied and profound fragrance that translates the most intimate essence of Japanese culture into olfactory notes. The opening is clear and luminous: mandarin and black tea blend in a citrusy, slightly smoky breath that glides gracefully onto a heart of osmanthus and camellia sinensis. The elegant and restrained flowers evoke the art of Ikebana and the silent grace of the gestures of Cha-no-yu. Then, the trail becomes denser, where the resinous-woody purity of hinoki meets the softness of suede, the wild note of juniper, and the warm depth of labdanum. Kyoto is an olfactory journey balanced between strength and lightness, between spirituality and matter. A fragrance that doesn't speak loudly, but leaves clear traces—like barefoot steps on a tatami mat bathed in the dawn light.
