Koto

Koto opens with a bright snap of citrus and green sharpness, spiced and slightly aldehydic—a cool, almost metallic clarity that feels like morning air through silk. The florals emerge gradually: narcissus and lily-of-the-valley drift in softly, then jasmine and rose deepen the heart into something luminous and tender, grounded by orris root's powdery warmth. As it settles, amber and vetiver anchor the composition, leather and castoreum lending an animalic whisper while oak moss and patchouli create a dry, earthy close—sensual without softness, structured without coldness.
