‘The way of incense transports us here to the heart of a Kōdō ceremony. Swirls of black tea scented with lotus and chrysanthemums precede an imperial OUD. Its charisma is embellished with precious notes mixed with rice powder, cashmeran and musk.’ – Jovoy
‘I have long thought that oud was an overused material and that this phenomenon would eventually become boring. It was while studying religious rituals that I had another vision of this smell of fumigation. The pagoda, suitable for meditation, slipped into my ear and nose a Japanese interpretation.’- Anais Biguine
