Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
A ritual in the holy Kiso forest: ceremonial katana unguent of rare woods, temple incense, leather bushi armor.
Japanese forests contain numerous trees with wood that is sacred in traditional religious ceremonies. The connection to the forest is realized in ritual offerings that include incense made from these rare woods.
Hinoki wood’s strong timber has been used for temples, Noh theaters, baths, and masu. Hinoki from the Kiso forest was sourced for the holy Ise shrine in Mie Prefecture. Sawara Cypress is a sturdy lemon scented “false” cypress with red stringy bark. The timber is also used for temples and shrines. It grows wild on the is- lands of Kyushu and Honshu.
Asahi zuru maple is an ancient variety of maple native to Japan with beautifully ornate pink, white, and green leaves. Its name means “swan at dawn.”

Top Notes: The initial impression evokes the crisp, resinous aroma of Hinoki wood, reminiscent of ancient Japanese temples. A subtle citrusy nuance of Sawara Cypress adds a touch of brightness, while the delicate, verdant scent of Asahi Zuru maple leaves provides a unique green facet.
Heart Notes: As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals a smoky, spiritual accord of temple incense, creating a sense of reverence and tradition. This is intertwined with the warm, leathery aroma of bushi armor, adding a touch of warrior-like strength and resilience.
Base Notes: The lingering base notes are dominated by the rich, enveloping warmth of amber, providing a grounding and sensual foundation. The woody notes of Hinoki and Sawara Cypress persist, adding depth and complexity, while a subtle hint of leather remains, creating a lasting impression of ancient rituals and sacred forests.
