By the editors · 2 min readHaiku Kyoto Flower opens with a warm, slightly metallic saffron cut by bergamot — an unusual pairing that sets an exotic, faintly culinary tone. The saffron dominates and gives the opening more depth than the Haiku line's usual fresh register.
The heart is rich: tonka bean and cocoa read as sweetness, jasmine and rose as florals. Orange blossom and peony add lighter, airier floral accents that prevent the cocoa from feeling heavy. The overall character is a warm oriental floral with genuine density and layering.
In the base, oakmoss, oud, and ambergris form a resinous, woody finish. The drydown is smoky and deep. This is darker and more complex than most Haiku entries — better suited to cooler weather and evening occasions than daytime wear.
