The sweet clarity of restraint
When other scents call, this one whispers.
When others dance through bright fruits, Dojou glides through clear lines, calm water and cool air.

Dojou for Him is not a typical summer fragrance.
It is like a still, clear morning in a Japanese Zen garden, just after a light summer rain.

You step barefoot on fine, damp gravel. The air is fresh.
In the background: the gentle splashing of a bamboo waterfall.
What you perceive first is an elegant aquatic freshness, infused with a gentle, citrusy clarity, neither aggressive nor playful.
Nothing is loud here, but balanced.

After the clear opening, cool spices and fine floral notes come to the fore.
They are like a light breeze blowing past a temple pond.
This is followed by a subtle green core, almost mossy but clean, not wilderness but nature in its most harmonious form.

In the finish, the fragrance rests in a base of soft wood and clean musk, like smooth stones polished by water.

My personal signature, love it!

Green all-rounder
It was basically my introduction to the world of perfume, it stood out among all the other typical designers in Douglas and a short time later I bought it as my first "real" perfume.

I still like it now. It works great as a green/fresh fragrance for spring and is also great for everyday wear thanks to the price.

Dojou for him is quite straightforward: at the beginning you can still smell the pepper and then tea and a slightly earthy scent dominate.

H/S are good for the price and so it remains a fragrance that I like to reach for again and again.

green, fresh, beautiful designer
In my opinion, many Annayake fragrances are underrated, as is this one. The fragrance is relatively simple, but still smells very good for a designer and its price. It is green, fresh, woody, spicy and masculine. This fragrance has already earned me many surprising compliments. It is perfect for every season and every occasion. The fragrance doesn't change much, except that it becomes a little sweeter and less spicy, as you can see from the notes. I wear Dojou at least once every 2 weeks as it really is one of the best everyday fragrances in this price range.

Miss Dojou
As a woman who wears it and loves it dearly, I have to say :

Unisex, stylish, green-loving, uplifting, invigorating, vitalizing...and leaving me devouring myself ;) It's as if Enclave by Amouage and Mr. Vetiver by Une Nuit Nomade had a powerful corpus and left behind this juice ;)
On my skin super silage and acceptable durability.

I love it! it will always stay with me as long as it exists!

Fresh-spicy moss-cardamom forest whispers with a hint of leather. The green smells sharp, almost intense. Juniper rounds it off. Nice.

Great office daily for him, relatively subtle (thank you! finally no olfactory club!), green-fresh, cardamom + juniper come through nicely.

Actually a beautiful scent. Unfortunately, it only lasts for me from 12 until noon.
