For all of the sophistication and serenity associated with Japan and its culture, Japanese nature is as punishing as it is beautiful. Monsoon rains, earthquakes, tidal waves, blizzards- all frequent natural occurrences that have challenged the island nation for millennia. But from those challenging circumstances emerge remarkable adaptations, including the Hinoki Cypress- a unique tree with stunningly resilient properties- hinoki wood is amazingly durable, highly moisture and rot resistant, and even features antimicrobial and insect repellent properties to go with its fresh, robust, aromatic aroma- it's largely due to their construction from hinoki that explains the durability and longevity of Japan's most famous shrines, temples, and other historic sites. Hinoki Meditation is a fragrance that shares with us both the strength and the subtlety of this miraculous species, a naturalistic and potent EDP with the lemon-accented aromatic richness of hinoki supplemented with spice, earth, and gentle incense smoke all evoking a walk through an ancient Kanto forest, eventually settling into deeply comforting layers of cedar and sandalwood. Stronger and longer-lasting than most hinoki scents we've come across, this is the one for anyone who loves the classic niche hinoki perfumes but has always wanted something with the kind of robust power worthy of the tree itself.
