Burnt Hinoki

An abandoned Japanese onsen gently smolders in Scents of Wood's Burnt Hinoki. Charred citrus-y wood intermingles with crisp, invigorating juniper berry to create this addictively smoky fall scent -- a fire that we never want to go out.

From Scents of Wood
A fragrant dance of charred elegance, capturing the essence of the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban, an ancestral process of burning wood for its immortality, long-lastingness and strength. The aromatic juniper berry lends a sublet, piney freshness while smoked Hinoki and cedarwood intertwine, creating a rich scorched signature.
The scent was inspired by the smoked hinoki wood marquetry walls of a mansion that left a lasting impression on perfumer Domitille Michalon. With a captivating and enigmatic aura, Burnt Hinoki transports you to a world where tradition and artistry unite in a harmonious olfactory journey.

Hinoki is a type of Japanese cypress wood that has long been used in Japan for its beauty, durability, and delicate, natural fragrance. It is a traditional Japanese building material and was often used in temples and shrines. The aroma is dry, fine woody, and has light terpenic nuances with soft herbal/lemony overtones and a peculiar warm, sweet, somewhat spicy undertone.
