Kintsugi Perfumes Taom is an Eau de Parfum, created by Martin Švach. Taom opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Star Anise, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Salt, Cognac, Sichuan Pepper, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Ambergris. Kintsugi Perfumes's Taom carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Taom is a salty, spicy citrus with an unusual list: star anise, artemisia, Sichuan pepper and cognac. Ambergris and vetiver keep the base dry. A niche-feeling Eau de Parfum that rewards curiosity.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its moderate projection and unique, non-offensive character make it suitable for casual and office wear, striking a balance between approachable and distinctive. It's a bit too subtle for formal events and not energetic enough for sport.

About

Taom opens with grapefruit, star anise, bergamot and elemi, a sharp, citrusy and slightly aniseed start. The heart is the unusual part: salt, artemisia, Sichuan pepper and cognac give it a briny, herbal, peppery and boozy character. The base of ambergris, vetiver and cedar is dry and woody. This Eau de Parfum is a spicy, salty and woody scent with a lot going on.
