Scents of Wood Hinoki in Hinoki Eau de Parfum

Sacred roots. Inspired by perfumer Chiaki Nomura’s heritage and her reverence for one of Japan’s most sacred trees, this fragrance is a tribute to Hinoki - the Japanese Cypress - celebrated for centuries in spiritual rituals and architecture. For Chiaki, Hinoki is not just a material, but a memory: deeply grounding, luminous, and filled with ancestral presence.

Textured serenity. At its heart, the scent showcases the radiant woodiness of Hinoki: bright with citrus, aromatic pine, and a lustrous, calming elegance. Its spiritual resonance is amplified by Mediterranean cypress oil LMR, a resinous, evergreen note that symbolises eternity. Crisp and leafy with an amber-tinged depth, it envelops the composition in a serene green halo. Pink pepper adds a subtle, spicy vibration, sparking energy through the stillness. The result is a magnificent contrast: sacred and modern, bold yet meditative. As the incense and woods rise, they carry the soul through towering forests and quiet shrines, evoking a space where tradition meets tranquility. This is more than a scent; it’s a quiet pilgrimage into the spiritual elegance of Japan’s living forests.
