One of the most fascinating countries I have traveled to is Japan. I have already dedicated a fragrance to this country, Kobe Gardens. Now comes the second one called Hakama.
Hakama is a traditional Japanese garment. A kind of pleated culottes with very wide legs. It runs from the waist down and opens like a bell. The hakama consists of a front and back and is tied to the hips with long straps. Basically it's a kind of overskirt. Historically it was developed for mounted samurai.
You can still see it today in Japanese martial arts such as Aikido or Kendo. He is an essential part. Otherwise, a hakama is usually worn on formal occasions such as weddings or tea ceremonies.
The color is usually black, but there are also blue and red, as well as gray and striped.
Liquid Inspiration:
The olfactory inspiration is of course Japan and its culture. The scent is intended to be reminiscent of a festive wedding in which the hakama is worn ceremoniously and proudly. It should be a soft, gentle composition that, without being loud, dresses the wearer like a hakama.
Finest Liquid:
A peppery, but not spicy start, which with the freshness of bergamot and the spicy notes of nutmeg and clove immediately creates a mood that is also a little reminiscent of spicy incense sticks. This is also intentional with the incense and labdanum in the base note. The opulence is carried with the musk.
It is a spicy, aromatic scent that has hints of winter pastries. It doesn't have a particularly dark note. Nevertheless, he skilfully plays with the spice elements (incense, clove and nutmeg).
You could also classify it as an absolutely not sweet gourmand.
