Launched in 2021 by Diptyque, Kyoto was crafted by perfumer Alexandra Carlin. This fragrance opens with a bright rose that cuts through the air like a crisp autumn breeze before settling into an earthy and smoky base, reminiscent of incense wafting from hidden temples. The woody and balsamic notes add warmth, creating a composition that feels both rooted in tradition and modern.

Application Tips
Apply Kyoto lightly — the rose and earthy notes are distinct enough to linger close to skin. It's best for cooler evenings when the smoky base can envelop you in a comforting warmth without overpowering.

The quiet intensity of an incense burner at dusk, where the last light filters through wooden shutters, casting shadows that dance across the floor.
