Creamy melon and green galbanum.
Magnolia, tuberose, and jasmine bloom richly.
A dry lingering of toasted soy sauce and chamomile.
Bursting with vitality from the earth like the thick white blossoms of the Japanese Magnolia, a creamy floral note unfolds from a fruity top. The heart is a white floral of profound presence?a bright radiance glowing from within a matte texture. The base evokes nostalgia with the savory sweetness of Mitarashi and Miso, balanced by iris and woods for a soft, dry finish. Generous use of natural essences creates a refined texture that leaves a light, airy trail.

In the West, "Oriental" fragrances are often glossy and opulent.
Seductive animalic and spicy scents are harmonized with floral or balsamic sweetness and light citrus.
On the other hand, this "Dry Oriental" is a matte "Japanese Oriental" envisioned by a Japanese perfumer. The animalic nuances found in miso and soy sauce are finished with a dry savoriness using iris and woody notes, harmonizing with floral, balsamic, and citrus elements.
Magnolia obovata is a deciduous tall tree native to Japan. Large specimens can reach a trunk diameter of 1 meter and a height of 30 meters.
In Japan, it has long been rooted in daily life; its large leaves are used to wrap miso or rice cakes for grilling (Hoba Miso, Hoba Mochi) or used as plates.
Around May, large creamy-white flowers, reaching up to 20 centimeters, bloom at the tips of the branches, and their scent is carried far by the wind.
