YOKA - SAKAMOTO

YOKA - SAKAMOTO

Borneo camphor, Tachibana, Patchouli, Lemongrass

This exquisite blend was personally crafted by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, the renowned Japanese composer, during a visit to Kyoto’s esteemed Shoyeido incense atelier (est. 1705), accompanied by our founder, Shinichiro Ogata.

Much like one of his timeless melodies, this scent lingers as an enduring memory in our hearts.

The linen sachet enclosed is a single-tone beige, distinct from the white-and-beige two-tone design found in other YOKA offerings.

10 sachets of your preferred scent neatly stored in a Japanese paper box, that doubles up as a stand, with a linen pouch included to carry around the fragrance.

Each paper sachet can be used in multiple ways: placing into a cupboard, bag or pocket as is, or inserting into the linen pouch to carry around. To perfume a room, tear open the sachet and empty the contents into a bowl or plate. The box can also be opened up to two different heights to be used as a stand to place in a room to diffuse the fragrance.

What is YOKA

The YOKA series is the most simple form of fragrance: they may be appreciated as they are, without burning or the application of heat. Natural ingredients are ground with a yagen, traditional Japanese mortar, releasing a soft, yet persistent fragrance.

The characteristics of the fragrance is determined by a sophisticated composition, mixing classic elements of the Japanese fragrance culture with ingredients from all over the world, creating a unique blend reflecting an aesthetic relevant to our contemporary epoch. The fragrance is appreciated as is, placed on a dedicated vessel to perfume a room or in a small sachet worn on one’s person on a daily basis. Its scent evolves with time, until it fades progressively, then to be replaced. Made from natural ingredients, the fragrance is also compostable.
