The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by J-Scent, Koiame is a Floral Green fragrance that embodies the Japanese aesthetic sense and technology. Perfumer Hironobu Kobayashi crafted this composition to blend seamlessly into daily life, creating an extraordinary harmony between nature and living. The scent opens with green notes and fresh fruits like apple and black currant, giving way to floral heart notes such as water lily, magnolia, and rose. A musky base of cedar and moss anchors the fragrance, providing a warm, powdery finish that feels both natural and refined.

How to wear it

Apply Koiame to your pulse points for a gentle, long-lasting presence. The green and fruity top notes are most prominent during the first hour but gradually give way to the floral heart and musky base. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin, where its natural warmth truly shines.
