EAU DE  PARFUM

Tokiwa (常磐) captures the verdant essence and flavour of early summer, translating the sensory experience of freshly brewed Sencha into an olfactory journey that is both vivid and enduring.

At the heart of Tokiwa (常磐) lies Sencha, the quintessential Japanese green tea. Imagine the first sip: the bright, tender leaves of early summer release a crisp, vegetal freshness, like sunlight falling on dew-kissed tea fields. There is an immediate grassy, vibrant note, reminiscent of young spinach leaves and freshly mown grass. Beneath this lies a subtle umami depth, echoing the gentle savouriness of Roasted seaweed and steamed greens, giving the fragrance body and presence. A delicate natural sweetness creaminess evocative of young corn and pistachio softens the intensity, harmonising the composition, while a hint of refreshing astringency leaves a sensation of clarity and vitality, as if a cool morning breeze has passed over the fields.

From this starting point, Tokiwa (常磐) unfolds like a walk through early summer: the roasted edge of seaweed introduces depth and a soft maritime echo, grounding the scent in nature’s complexity. Leafy greens, pistachio, and corn intertwine with wildflowers, producing a harmony that is simultaneously lush and airy, playful yet composed. Musky earthy Ambrette seed whispers warmth and gentle sweetness, like sunlight filtering through verdant leaves, tying the composition together with subtle elegance.

The base notes of Vetiver and Moss anchor the fragrance, giving it a sense of permanence and structure. Here, Tokiwa (常磐) fully embodies its name—Tokiwa (常磐)—steadfast and eternal, like stone standing resilient amidst the lush greenness of summer. Every inhalation is a meditation on nature’s constancy, the perpetual growth of tea leaves, the quiet depth of moss, and the unchanging rhythm of early summer.

To wear Tokiwa (常磐) is to step into a Japanese painting of verdant tea fields, bordered by forested hills and kissed by golden sunlight. It is a fragrance that captives the taste of Sencha, the scent of freshly cut grass, the richness of nuts and greens, and the soft floral notes of the wildflower meadows. It is an olfactory snapshot of early summer, preserving both flavour and atmosphere in a timeless moment.

Tokiwa (常磐) is a season frozen, a sip of early summer translated into fragrance, a poem woven from leaves, moss, seaweed, and flowers. It evokes freshness and vitality, depth and calm, reminding us of the quiet permanence of the natural world, even as time flows endlessly around it. A promise of continuity. Like the first flush of Sencha in early summer, ever green, ever alive, it is a fragrance that captures the taste and atmosphere of summer, eternal and verdant, steadfast as stone and as fresh as the morning dew.
