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

Only three notes are listed for Chakai: hinoki wood, bamboo and cardamom. That keeps it simple and calm. Hinoki gives a clean, dry, lightly citrusy woodiness, bamboo adds a green and airy freshness, and cardamom brings a light touch of spice and warmth. Together they make a soft, quiet scent that feels clean and relaxed, the sort of fragrance that sits close to the skin and does not demand attention.
