d'Annam Hinoki Meditation is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Anh Ngo. d'Annam's Hinoki Meditation carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, this is a bold, realistic hinoki bomb. Some find it a spiritual, meditative journey through ancient woods; others get an overbearing, medicinal aftershave vibe. You'll either adore its spicy forest floor or recoil from its perceived harshness.

Scent Profile

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it won't overwhelm, but its distinct, woody-spicy character makes it less ideal for formal or office settings. It shines in casual or date night scenarios, particularly in autumn or winter, where its warmth and depth can be appreciated.

About

Step into a deep forest temple with Hinoki Meditation. It opens with an intense blast of hinoki wood and sharp cypress, immediately transporting you to ancient, sacred groves. Rich, warm spices swirl through the air, adding an intriguing complexity that’s both invigorating and grounding. As it settles, frankincense lends a subtly smoky, resinous depth, intertwining with creamy sandalwood for a smooth, contemplative drydown. This isn't a shy scent; it's a full-bodied journey through dry, spiritual woods.
