aristocrat
Rush grass, hay, hinoki and copaiba evoke a quiet, spacious Japanese hall.
Perfumer: Hidenori Matsuno
Aristocrat imagines a silent Japanese hall, with rush-grass tatami and standing hinoki pillars. Kilesa uses copaiba balsam and hay absolute to suggest a space that seems to continue into the distance. The subject is the quiet presence of wood and grass within a large room.
Bergamot, hay and lemon open the fragrance, placing bright citrus beside dry grass. Rose, celery seed, rush grass and green tea follow in the heart, adding green detail and the calm character of tea. Hinoki, copaiba balsam, sandalwood, amber and musk create the base. Clear woody lines meet rounder resinous warmth, with musk providing a softer finish.
It suits reading time or a quiet daytime outfit when grasses and woods feel more appealing than sweet flowers. The rounded 50 mL clear-glass bottle is topped with a black cap, with the fragrance name printed directly on the front.
