Introducing: Kyoto Oud

Like the tranquillity of a hushed spa, our comforting new fragrance offers a little haven of peace.

The inspiration

Calm among the chaos of everyday. In Kyoto, once the capital of Imperial Japan, you stumble upon peaceful havens in secluded Zen gardens, Buddhist temples and a tranquil spa. Your soul feels replenished in a place that’s surrounded by rich, natural beauty. A moment of peace as the world stands still.

The notes

Amber is an accord that creates a warm, powdery-sweet scent that’s deeply comforting. Oud is one of the most expensive raw ingredients, earning its ‘liquid gold’ moniker. It smells deep, rich and sensual, with a bittersweet woodiness, and is also used in the Japanese Kodo incense ceremony to deepen the spiritual sensory awareness. Olibanum is frankincense – another prized note. Made from tree resin and once so sought after it was only used by royalty. The smell is soft and sweet with a hint of citrus, and is thought to soothe anxiety.
