Dark Velvet

HIROKO KOSHINO, this unique fragrance has a feature, what I have never faced in this clear form with: half part of a pyramid phase is interwoven with the one underneath it, and the interplay provides a new and surprising feeling.

This sceptred scent flows like the night flows upon the landscape. Powdery tea makes fragrances always more thoughtful and solemn, and black currant is really black here. Top and heart notes merge into a lavendery flower, wich transforms into a creamy and acerbic base, that is refreshing without green color.

Honestly, people should wear for this parfume an evening-dress!

WABI-SABI

Hiroko Koshino

Wabi-Sabi - A completely Japanese aesthetic. Here is a richly astringent absence of sweetness, as if magically opening up a newly made, yet ancient, lacquered oriental treasure chest made of hand carved cedar and lined in perfumed silk. I adore this without reservation and could wrap myself up in it completely.

Tremendously dark and imposing opening; as if one is entering a Shogun’s castle in the 16th century. Precious wood completely surrounds as you are walking through these darkened shadowy halls. The inner sanctum, the weapons hall dojo descends deeply into the smell of dark and heavy hardwoods, surrounded by subtle flourishes of clove oil used to polish the swords of the samurai. Rows of stone faced samurai guards sit motionless in vigilant silence.

Sliding shoji doors open to a sparsely furnished tatami floored room with a small lacquered table where a small bronze incense burner is placed; charcoal heated kyara agarwood and fine sandalwood sends wispy tendrils of profoundly meditative smoky beauty through the area. Sumptuous silks rustle with a touch of delicately refined ambrette seed while a kimono garbed woman is arranging a beautiful ikebana; carefully placing a long plum tree branch into an exquisite porcelain vase. A tea ceremony is being prepared nearby; the traditional streaming green matcha brew mingles with the delicate trails of the burning incense, and the scent of the courtyard garden where rose bushes, jasmine vines, camellia, lily of the valley, and ylang-ylang bloom discreetly near a little lotus pond. A zen gong is struck somewhere in the distance to signal the gathering dusk.

Exquisite, austere, very hushed, meditative, and profoundly beautiful.
