Amouroud White Hinoki is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Angélique Nadau. White Hinoki opens with Blood Orange, Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Cinnamon, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Whisky, Tobacco, and Hinoki Wood. Amouroud's White Hinoki carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's divisive. For some, it's a 'masterpiece' and a 'zen experience', for others, it's 'toilet bowl cleaner' or 'medicinal'. Definitely sample first.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate sillage and clean, relaxing profile make it suitable for casual wear or even the office, though some find it 'spa-like' enough for home use. The unique woody-spicy character means it might not fit all formal or active settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

White Hinoki opens with a bright, peppery zing of blood orange and ginger, quickly settling into an aromatic heart where heliotrope and warm cinnamon meet a resinous labdanum. The real star, hinoki wood, emerges in the base, supported by smooth whisky and a touch of tobacco, creating a clean, spa-like woodiness with surprising depth. It's an airy, contemplative scent with an almost 'frozen wood' character.
