Hinoki
Inspired by a quiet spring morning at a Kyoto ryokan, this woody fragrance captures the scent of hinoki wood, moss, and temple incense. It opens with sharp cypress and camphor, then softens into cedar and pine, with a dry base of vetiver and frankincense. A meditative, minimalist scent that feels both clean and grounding.
