Rashomon Volume I by Parfums Karmic Hues is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Rashomon Volume I was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Srivathsa Subramanian Sivakumar. The fragrance features Agarwood (Oud), Ambergris, Sandalwood, Tuberose, Frangipani, Leather, Rum, Honey, Mango and Musk. The Rashomon collection comprises two extremely limited edition fragrances, namely “Rashomon Volume I” and “Rashomon Volume II”. This collection is inspired by the 1950 film of the same name by acclaimed Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. These two fragrances are blended in a way that provides the audience a completely different perspective and subjective points of view from one another, owing to the variety of olfactory families in these fragrances and hence invoking the “Rashomon effect”. Both fragrances feature similar notes, yet divulge in their application.Animalic-Spicy-Oriental-Floral

How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Agarwood (Oud)
From the resinous knots of Aquilaria trees, agarwood emerges as a dense, dark wood with an aroma that's both earthy and sweet. Its scent is often described as woody and spicy, with hints of smoke and incense, making it one of perfumery’s most sought-after materials.
Ambergris
Derived from the digestive system of sperm whales, ambergris has long been prized for its rich, musky aroma with hints of sweetness and a marine freshness. This distinctive material is often described as having a deep, leathery scent with an underlying current of saltwater and a subtle sweetness that makes it both intriguing and complex.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood, sourced from the heartwood of trees native to India and Indonesia, carries a rich, creamy aroma that is both smooth and slightly sweet. Its scent is often described as warm and woody, with a powdery undertone that adds depth and complexity to any composition.
