About

Imagine stepping into a tranquil Japanese temple, surrounded by the cool, clean scent of cedar and cypress. Kyoto opens with a fresh, airy impression of unburnt incense, subtly interwoven with earthy vetiver and a hint of warm, sweet immortelle. As it settles, the fragrance deepens into a meditative blend of teak wood and a whisper of patchouli, softened by a barely-there coffee note that adds an intriguing depth.
