BARUTI Mono No Aware is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Spyros Drosopoulos. BARUTI's Mono No Aware carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher; a divisive matcha scent that some adore for its true-to-life earthiness and others find utterly unwearable, smelling like everything from rotting wood to smoky incense. Definitely sample before committing.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and generally subtle nature make it suitable for casual wear and the office, provided the earthiness isn't too challenging for your colleagues. It's too unique and unsweetened for a typical date night, and definitely not formal or sporty.

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

  • 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

It kicks off with a raw, earthy matcha powder blast, quickly evolving into something more complex - a creamy, nutty, almost bready quality emerges, perhaps like a matcha latte or even a savoury wafer. Hints of delicate, sugar-free cherry blossom drift through, fragile and ethereal, before settling into a dry, woody base of cedar and a clean musk. It’s distinctly unsweetened, with some detecting an almost camphorous or smoky edge.
