Tokiwa captures the bright, green essence of early summer.
A fragrance built around Sencha, like the olfactory translation of a freshly brewed cup of tea.
From the first sip, the vibrant vegetal character of Japanese green tea is immediately apparent: a crisp, almost crunchy freshness reminiscent of young leaves bathed in dew. Notes of freshly cut grass and tender spinach add a green and natural dimension. Toasted seaweed lends a subtly umami, slightly salty depth, giving the blend body.
Gradually, a natural sweetness emerges. Young corn and pistachio lend a delicately creamy texture, balancing the vegetal intensity. Wildflowers add an airy, light, almost luminous touch, like a sun-drenched field in the heart of summer.
Ambrette seed diffuses a soft, musky warmth, subtle yet enveloping. Then vetiver and moss anchor the whole. They bring structure and depth, a feeling of stability and permanence, true to the name Tokiwa, which evokes what endures, what remains green through the seasons.
Wearing Tokiwa is like walking through Japanese tea fields, surrounded by wooded hills and golden light. It's a precise, vegetal freshness, nuanced by umami accords and a natural sweetness.
A suspended moment of early summer.
Green, alive, eternal.
