Kintsugi Perfumes Hanzo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Martin Švach. Hanzo opens with Yuzu, Cypress, Pine, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Mastic, Ylang-Ylang, Osmanthus, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Fir, Cedar, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Kintsugi Perfumes's Hanzo carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Hanzo is a cool, green and resinous scent that smells like a damp conifer forest by the sea. Cypress, pine and yuzu give it bite, while frankincense and oakmoss keep it serious. A distinctive Eau de Parfum for people who find ordinary woody scents dull.

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.

About

Hanzo opens sharp and green, with cypress, pine and yuzu giving a cold, crisp feel, while litchi adds a faint juicy edge. The heart is the unusual part: seaweed brings a salty, marine note, set against ylang-ylang and osmanthus for a touch of softness, with frankincense and mastic adding a resinous, smoky depth. The base settles into vetiver, cedar, oakmoss and fir, earthy and dry and distinctly forest-like. Overall it is a cool woody green scent with a salty twist. It feels outdoorsy, grounded and a little mysterious.
