2_ ISSEY MIYAKE Pure

This popular perfume since the ’90s is adding a new variation – L’eau d’Issey Pure – to the collection. Drops of neroli essence combine with the ocean tones of maritima and the blossoms of white flowers for a zesty scene, while the base showcases musky, woody cashmeran and ambergris for a sultry undertone.

3_ ATELIER COLOGNE Encens Jinhae

With Korean cherry blossoms in its heart, and notes of pink pepper and nutmeg leaving the senses tingling, this warm, floral scent is inspired by the memories and emotions the founders of Atelier Cologne experienced during their travels to Asia.

Inspired by breathtaking 300-year-old hiba trees in Japanese forests and the country’s lush moss gardens at its temples, Hwyl imbues the air with rich aromas of wood, moss, and robust spices. This intriguing unisex scent blends cypress, vetiver extract and frankincense, creating a rich, earthy sensuality that captures the emotions.
