"Though still alive, I shall wait for you - until frost settles upon my flowing black hair."
Empress Iwa, Manyoshu
Could this truly be the same plum tree that offers such crisp scent in the early morning chill?
On a warm spring night, its enchanting aroma fills the air, shifting its expression night after night, disturbing one��s emotions like fleeting memories.
The fragrance begins with a bittersweet, alluring sweetness. A floral bouquet centered around natural rose gently transitions into a clean, soapy scent.
A mysterious fragrance that expresses the duality of femininity.
