Japan covered with hills covered with tropical forests, undergrowth, moss growing on the bark of trees, the smell of a damp forest. Among the hills there is a traditional wooden house, made of Japanese cedar, saturated with resins and fragrant oils. Some elements of this house are new, still fresh, others have darkened with time and their fragrance is mature, subtle. Nestled in a valley among tall grasses, this house, built by joining wood to wood without the use of nails, blends in with nature and is part of it. The wetland around it creates ideal conditions for cultivation. The smell of roots, combined with the smell of damp earth, mixes with the smell of fresh wood and the surrounding moss. This is what Aiyoku smells like. Aiyoku is a composition inspired by the descriptions in Alex Kerr's book "Japan Lost". The perfume is fresh, citrus, grassy, mossy, earthy, mulch, woody.
