Tsuzumi

Tsuzumi is a L’Héritage eau de parfum inspired by Japanese drums that support singing and dance. KOHSHI assigns hinoki to the high, sharp sound of the larger drum and rosewood to the lingering voice of the smaller one. Rose and jasmine bring floral richness around those contrasting woody tones.

Lemon, bergamot, lime and hinoki create a bright opening with a distinctly woody green edge. Jasmine, rose, freesia and lilac meet nutmeg, rosemary and lavender in the heart. The flowers give fullness, while the herbs and spice keep a defined outline. Rosewood and sandalwood form the base with patchouli, and vanilla and amber provide a warmer, rounded finish.

It suits an afternoon outing or a more considered outfit when woods with lively floral and herbal details are appealing. The 50 mL glass bottle has a rounded wooden cap and a white label carrying the fragrance name, echoing the collection’s interest in the materials and character of Japanese instruments.
