KIDA KYO Umbral No. 04 is a Parfum. Umbral No. 04 opens with Bergamot, Sichuan Pepper, and Star Anise, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Champaca, and Labdanum. KIDA KYO's Umbral No. 04 carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent, blending traditional warmth with an aniseed punch that's either utterly captivating or just plain weird. You'll either love its unique, grown-up vibe or wish you'd never sniffed it.

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 Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The bold, spicy-sweet profile, especially the prominent anise and tobacco, isn't ideal for a discreet office setting but shines on a date or formal evening out. Its unique character makes it less suited for casual, everyday wear or active pursuits.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Umbral No. 04 opens with a sharp, almost medicinal burst of star anise and piquant Sichuan pepper, brightened by bergamot. This gives way to a smooth, dry tobacco leaf, softened by a delicate, slightly indolic jasmine. As it settles, a rich, woody base emerges, with warm cedar and the exotic, slightly floral spice of champaca, all wrapped in a clean musk and resinous labdanum that lingers for hours.
