Mikimoto

Mikimoto is a Japanese luxury brand founded in 1899 by Mikimoto Kōkichi, the man who invented the cultured pearl and transformed the global jewelry industry. For over a century the Mikimoto name has been synonymous with the highest standard of pearl quality — lustrous, perfectly round, and impeccably matched. The fragrance line, crafted with perfumer Frank Voelkl, extends this heritage of quiet perfection into scent: compositions that share the pearl's qualities of soft luminosity, tactile elegance, and subdued grandeur. Voelkl, known for his work on some of the most acclaimed contemporary perfumes, brings the technical discipline that Mikimoto's reputation demands. The fragrances sit in the prestige tier, consistent with the brand's luxury jewelry positioning and the expectations of a consumer who knows what Mikimoto means. The bottles and packaging carry the brand's visual restraint — no excess, no ornament beyond what serves — making Mikimoto fragrances among the most elegantly presented in the Japanese prestige category.
