Haiku
Haiku opens with a sharp, watery flash of yuzu and pomegranate, the pear more textural than sweet, like biting into a crisp white fruit still cold from the fridge.

By the editors · 2 min readHaiku opens with a sharp, watery flash of yuzu and pomegranate, the pear more textural than sweet, like biting into a crisp white fruit still cold from the fridge. Freesia adds a pale, soapy brightness that keeps the introduction weightless. The floral heart unfolds in soft focus—tuberose and jasmine present but diffused, almost translucent, anchored by fig's milky greenness and lily of the valley's clean minerality. This isn't indolic or heady; it's florals seen through frosted glass.
The base settles into a gentle musk-vanilla cushion, sandalwood and tonka lending warmth without density. Vetiver provides just enough earth to ground what could otherwise drift into pure abstraction. The whole composition feels like early-2000s white florals reconsidered through a Japanese aesthetic: restraint, negative space, deliberate simplicity. It wears close, fades politely, and suits anyone drawn to clean scent that doesn't announce itself.
