Crimson Kyoto is an enchanting and exotic fragrance that captures the essence of a vibrant Japanese garden, blending warm spices, luscious fruits, and rich woods into a captivating and complex olfactory experience. The scent opens with a warm and inviting combination of top notes featuring cinnamon and saffron. The spicy warmth of cinnamon provides an immediate sense of comfort, while saffron adds a luxurious, slightly sweet nuance that elevates the opening, creating an intriguing and aromatic introduction.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals a lush and multifaceted blend of Japanese plum, plum blossom, immortelle, liquor, cypress, and camellia. The juicy sweetness of Japanese plum and the delicate floral notes of plum blossom create a harmonious and vibrant heart, evoking the rich colours and scents of springtime in Kyoto. Immortelle adds a unique, slightly sweet and hay-like quality that enhances the complexity, while liquor introduces a warm, intoxicating depth. Cypress contributes a fresh, woodsy note that balances the sweetness, and camellia adds a soft, floral elegance, resulting in a heart that is both rich and diverse.
In the base, Crimson Kyoto settles into a luxurious foundation of Agarwood (oud), amber, benzoin, fir, and vanilla. Agarwood provides a deep, resinous character that adds an air of mystery and sophistication, while amber introduces a warm, golden richness that envelops the fragrance. Benzoin contributes a sweet, balsamic quality that enhances the warmth of the base, while fir adds a fresh, woody note that evokes the essence of ancient forests. Vanilla rounds out the composition with a creamy sweetness, creating a smooth and inviting finish.
Overall, Crimson Kyoto is a masterfully crafted fragrance that harmoniously blends spicy, fruity, floral, and woody notes, creating a scent that is both exotic and comforting. It is perfect for those who seek a fragrance that embodies the beauty and richness of nature, making it an ideal choice for evening wear, special occasions, or any time you want to feel enveloped in warmth and elegance.

Amongst a batch of 17 samples, this one stood out to me so I immediately bought a 10ml. Now I think it's not going to be enough! It's such an intoxicating scent - rolled eyes at the back of your head intoxicating - that I don't even want to try the OG. I'd never even heard of it, but Nathan was kind enough to slip this as an extra sample in my order. Now I'm desperate for a full bottle, like a mad perfume hoarder.
