Keman is a deeply serene and spiritually evocative fragrance that captures the essence of a Japanese temple garden in bloom. It opens with a luminous, crisp burst of yuzu, geranium, rose, and shiso, creating a luminous, herbaceous, and floral top that feels refreshingly green and meditative. The heart unfolds with jasmine and cherry blossom, gently weaving through the bright citrus and herbal notes, before the oud and cypress softly emerge in the dry down. The oud is green, clean, and incense-like—never barnyard or synthetic—adding depth without weight. The scent unfolds slowly, revealing layers of quiet complexity, like a whisper in a garden at dawn, with a light, personal sillage and moderate longevity. Wearers describe it as an experience of quiet joy, renewal, and inner calm, evoking temples, gardens, and a sense of presence. Its strength lies in its subtle emotional resonance rather than projection, making it perfect for those seeking a fragrant ritual, not a statement.
