Comme Des Garcons - Hinoki EDT 50ml

Comme Des Garcons Hinoki EDT 50ml: Hinoki takes its name from the hinoki cypress, a tree that only grows in Japan and is the preferred wood for building palaces, temples, shrines and the finest wooden soaking baths. It was inspired by a visit to Tawaraya, a famous three-centuries-old traditional Japanese inn located in Kyoto. Soaking in the legendary open-air hinoki ofuro (wooden bath) filled with warm spring water on a chilly morning, the idea for the perfume was born and the result is breathtaking. The ofuro is captured perfectly: the full, rich scent of the wood, the smells of the surrounding greenery, the soft touch of meditative incense, the memories of native moss. Hinoki is a dry, woody-fresh scent with an intangible ”something” that gives it a mystical edge and the ability, much like CdG's Incense Series, to conjure the exact emotion and feel of the idea behind its creation and name.

Monocle magazine (a global briefing covering international business, culture and design) has teamed up with Comme des Garcons to launch a series of fragrance creations.
