Yuki

ゆき

Miya Shinma 2012

Many people are looking for that one, unique fragrance that reflects all their expectations of life.
Does such a fragrance even exist?
How is it conceived and is it the same for everyone? This fragrance may exist, but it is very rare to crystallize what it must be able to do in order to sneak into the soul of its wearer.
If one assumes that a human being, when catapulted to this earth, has been able to enjoy a carefree existence up to now and under normal circumstances, since he has perhaps become aware of his personality in the size of a gummy bear. Then it is thrown out of its paradise into mummy's lap; it has needs such as hunger, thirst, warmth, protection and security, which must now be met by the people involved.
For a variety of reasons, most of which we are certainly not even aware of, most people do not succeed in satisfying these needs one hundred percent. What motivates some people to say this is practising frustration tolerance, which puts others under constant pressure to want to do everything right.
Nevertheless, there remains this vacuum, sometimes for life, which outsiders are unaware of because they are distracted by various stimuli.
For some people it never becomes apparent, for others only when they reach adulthood, that they have a deficit; one that reveals an emptiness deep inside that they cannot really grasp.
Yuki is not a spiritual fragrance, but like a smooth gel it fills holes in the emotional hard drive, mending connections that have been cut due to carelessness or trauma.
Lavender is often used for calming - even for tall and/or elderly people - and can be an opponent to anxiety if it is strongly herbaceous and hits the nose hard.
It is rare to find it as wonderfully composed and embedded as it is here, in powdery snow once thawed and covered with an ice crust, radiantly thrown back with the help of the sun.
The powdery note mentioned several times here is more reminiscent of wig powder, which is used in theaters or courthouses in England to care for second hair.
In addition, these harmoniously soft bath foam bubbles with a subtle soapy note, which only make you shiver comfortably.

Yuki is much more than the sum of its parts.
Warm, soft, uplifting, comforting and everything that touches you deep inside. Yet enchantingly gentle and quiet.
Puristic fits. Just like the lacquer-black box in which the perfume is sold. Wrapped in colorful fabric decorated with typical Japanese ornaments and traditionally knotted. A real feast for the eyes.
