Amouroud - White Hinoki
This fragrance embodies the concept of "complex simplicity," a notion that might seem contradictory at first but is perfectly realized in its composition. Drawing inspiration from the sacred Hinoki Wood, a revered material in Japanese culture, the fragrance captures the essence of this ancient and spiritual wood, which has been used for centuries to construct temples and religious shrines across Japan. The aroma of Hinoki Wood is more than just a scent; it is a doorway to a serene, faraway place, deeply immersed in nature. The fragrance opens with a captivating citrus-woody aroma, a blend that immediately enchants and transports the senses. The initial citrus notes bring a bright and refreshing quality, evoking the crisp air of a forest. This citrus freshness is beautifully balanced by the woody depth of Hinoki, which provides a grounding and calming influence. The wood's natural scent is both complex and pure, capturing the tranquility of a secluded temple nestled among ancient trees.
