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 For:

With eternal longevity and significant sillage reported by many, Miyako is probably too much for a formal office setting. Its rich, sensual nature, especially the leathery and fruity aspects, makes it ideal for dates and special occasions where its powerful projection can shine.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Miyako opens with a powerful, almost syrupy burst of yuzu, peach, and apricot, a vivid fruitiness that quickly merges with a distinctive leather and the nuanced floral character of osmanthus. As it settles, green tea adds a fresh, aromatic counterpoint before it dries down to a rich, woody base of hinoki, cedar, sandalwood, and patchouli, softened by a clean musk.
