The Oriental encounter between a flower and incense

History

The Japanese have been religious about incense for centuries. The Kôdô (‘the way of incense’) ceremony is almost sacred. It is a ritual, an art. Each attendee is ‘invited to smell, feel and identify the woods burned, to listen to the incense’. So Kenzo has decided to dedicate a fragrance as noble as the Kôdô ceremony to incense. Its sweet, mysterious and refined notes have been added to the original harmony of Flower. The result is surprising: a less floral – but even more sensual – woodsy Oriental fragrance.

Range

Eau de Parfum, 1.7 fl. oz.

Bottle

A bottle in the shape of an homage to the Kôdo ceremony, with a black design of wisps of smoke evoking a black poppy. The calligraphy for kaori, meaning “scent”, is printed in red.
