Kimono Hinoki / きもの ひのき

It opens with clove, which gives the scent a warm, sharp spice from the first moment. In the heart, hinoki cypress meets black pepper: the dry, resinous woodiness of the cypress runs alongside the pepper's light bite. The base brings amber, patchouli and oud, settling the scent onto a darker, heavier woody ground.

Spice and wood accords lead from start to finish, so it reads dry and serious rather than sweet. It sits evenly between masculine and feminine, a balanced woody-spicy profile that suits any skin.
