Hinoki in Hinoki

A walk in an ancient hinoki cypress grove — where each breath is a blend of fresh pine and the earthy richness of moss-covered bark.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Hinoki in Hinoki by Scents of Wood is a Woody fragrance for women and men that was launched in 2022. Perfumer Chiaki Nomura has crafted this composition to capture the essence of hinoki cypress, creating a scent that is both fresh and warm. The aromatic top notes open with a crisp freshness that quickly gives way to a heart of spicy warmth, leading into a mossy base anchored by rich amber. This fragrance feels like a journey through a forest where each layer reveals new facets of the wood, grounding you in its natural beauty.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in layers for the best effect; it blooms gradually, with the rich amber base taking center stage after about an hour. It’s perfect for cooler evenings when you want a scent that feels both warm and fresh.
