Matsuri

This year has been a heavy one for many of us — myself included. Toward the end of the year, I wanted to create a fragrance that brings happiness when inhaled. My inspiration came from a song about festivals, renewal, and leaving behind what no longer serves us: “Matsuri” by Fuji Kaze.

The scent opens with a gentle Umeshu accord, bright yet tender, like the first smile after a long season. It then unfolds into the heart of the fragrance — a serene blend of Frankincense sacra and an all-natural floral bouquet made entirely from real flower materials: Frangipani, Magnolia, White Rose, Tagetes, and Tuberose.

The base settles into a warm, grounding trail of woods and resins, including Hiba wood, Nagarmotha, Cedarwood, Peru balsam, and Myrrh, leaving a soft, contemplative aura that lingers on the skin.

Matsuri is a scent of release, renewal, and quiet joy — like a personal festival you carry with you.
