Kintsugi Perfumes Kaigan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Martin Švach. Kaigan opens with Bergamot, Cypress, and Basil, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Saffron, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Civet. Kintsugi Perfumes's Kaigan carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Kaigan is a marine and herbal scent with fig and saffron adding some body. Sea water and cypress keep it cool, and civet gives the base an animalic touch. A distinctive Eau de Parfum for people who like their fresh scents a bit odd.

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

Kaigan opens with bergamot, basil and cypress, a green, herbal and citrusy start. The heart brings sea water, fig and saffron together for a marine feel with a creamy fruit and a hint of spice. The base of musk, cedar and civet is woody and a touch animalic. This Eau de Parfum is an aquatic herbal scent with a darker finish.
