By the editors · 2 min readA tender floral-oriental that opened Yamamoto's fragrance chapter with understated conviction. Chamomile's herbal warmth and the bright spark of mandarin orange make the opening approachable and a little unexpected; cardamom and coriander weave a soft, almost culinary spice that prevents the composition from tipping saccharine. At its core, a classic rose-jasmine pairing unfolds with quiet confidence — neither showy nor fading, just present in the way a well-worn silk blouse is present. The dry-down deepens into a warm amber and clean musk cocoon that stays close to the skin. A fragrance of considered restraint: recognizably feminine, softly Eastern, genuinely wearable across decades.
