What does Wabi-Sabi smell like?

It opens fresh and citrusy with yuzu, shiso and bergamot, while pink pepper and hinoki cypress add a light spice and woodiness. The heart turns softly floral with jasmine, osmanthus and magnolia, with apricot adding a fruity touch. Oud, sandalwood and hay settle it onto a resinous, woody, earthy base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters suggest spring, autumn and summer, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, so it reads comfortably either way. Aēsop Virēre and Aēsop Erémia have a close profile.
