Yūgen

by Yaroslav Simonov

Japonica Yūgen is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Yaroslav Simonov. Yūgen opens with Rain, Basmati Rice, and Cherry Blossom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Green Tea, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Rice Powder, Suede, and Salt. Japonica's Yūgen carries a Favourite verdict, a salty-led wear.

Yūgen is a genuinely interesting, zen-like fragrance that's surprisingly wearable. It's a low-key stunner, perfect for those who prefer their scents subtle and reflective rather than loud and attention-seeking.

This perfume's soft nature and unique clean-yet-aromatic profile make it supremely fitting for casual wear and the office, where it won't overwhelm. It's too subtle for a grand formal event and not robust enough for active sports wear.

About

Imagine the quiet calm after a spring shower, with the petrichor mixing with the delicate sweetness of cherry blossom and the comforting aroma of basmati rice. As it settles, a clean, almost powdery green tea and jasmine accord emerges, tinged with a soft, warm myrrh. The base brings a unique salty marine touch, grounding the fragrance with a subtle leather-suede dryness and soft rice powderiness that feels like a gentle, comforting embrace.
