The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Xerjoff and crafted by perfumer Jacques Flori, Shunkoin is a unisex fragrance that embodies the warmth of its woody and spicy notes. The powdery opening gives way to a heart of iris and floral accords, creating a soft yet captivating presence. As it settles into an amber base with vanilla undertones, Shunkoin becomes a warm embrace, perfect for both day and night.
Apply Shunkoin sparingly as the powdery notes are quite prominent initially. Allow it to develop on your skin for at least an hour before reapplying if needed. It's best worn in cooler weather, where its warmth can be fully appreciated without overpowering.
