Scent and Composition

The opening combines ginger, black cardamom and pink pepper. The floral heart unfolds with water lily, orchid, jasmine and rose. The base is composed of sandalwood, black amber, Kyara incense, patchouli and leather.

The composition is inspired by the Japanese ritual of Kodo, associated with the traditional appreciation of incense. The fragrance story features a combination of Kyara wood, dark amber, cardamom and black orchid, complemented by jasmine and water lily blossoms.
