Raw
Bergamot, white flowers, woods and musk explore the idea of ambergris washed onto a beach.
Perfumer: Hidenori Matsuno
Raw is a KOHSHI eau de parfum inspired by ambergris washed onto a beach. The house imagines a walk beside white waves, with waves of flowers carrying a treasure to shore. Citrus, full flowers and a woody, musky finish give shape to that scene.
Bergamot, lemon and amber appear in the opening. Freesia, iris, gardenia, rose, jasmine and tuberose form the heart, combining the fullness of white flowers with softer powdery and rose details. Cedarwood and sandalwood provide the base, while musk adds smoothness and patchouli introduces an earthy shade. The floral centre has more substance than a simple fresh citrus composition.
It fits an afternoon outing or a quieter, considered outfit when flowers with a woody finish feel appealing. The 50 mL bottle has slender clear glass, a transparent cap and a gold-coloured spray mechanism, with the KOHSHI emblem and fragrance name on the front.
