The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Coeur Azuki by Kenzo was launched in 2022, crafted by perfumer Delphine Lebeau. This Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance opens with sweet notes and black currant, before settling into a base of rice and vanilla that evokes the comforting warmth of childhood memories. The scent is inspired by tea time in Japan, where azuki beans are gently candied in sugar, creating an olfactory treasure trove of happy recollections. Cœur Azuki captures the essence of Kenzo's Japanese heritage and the sensory experiences he cherished growing up in a traditional tea house.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of Cœur Azuki. The sweet notes and black currant heart are bright and engaging but fade within an hour. The rice and vanilla base notes take over for a warm, lasting presence that suits daytime wear better than a night out.
