A tribute to yūsuzumi—the quiet, cooling pause as day turns to dusk.
Rooted in the refined simplicity of Japanese summer evenings, Hinoki Summer is inspired by the tradition of yūsuzumi: the art of savoring the cool air at twilight after a long, warm day. This is a moment of stillness—bare feet on sun-warmed stone, the rustle of bamboo leaves, a breeze carrying the scent of distant woods.
At the heart of this fragrance is Hinoki, Japan’s beloved sacred cypress, with its dry, airy wood aroma that conjures temple forests and open bathhouses. May Chang adds a soft citrus brightness, like the fading glow of sunlight on skin. A whisper of Ylang Ylang—delicate, velvety, and lush—brings a gentle sensuality, reminiscent of evening blossoms releasing their final breath before nightfall.
Together, these oils evoke the serene elegance of summer’s close: meditative, uplifting, and quietly restorative.
Let this fragrance accompany your own yūsuzumi—your sacred pause between the day’s demands and the quiet of night.
