No. 18
Fragrance notes
Character
A resinous blend built around amber and incense asks for a specific kind of wearer. This is for the person who wants a fragrance that feels like a heavy wool coat and a quiet street after the sun goes down. The inclusion of iris gives the smoke and labdanum a powdered, slightly formal edge that keeps the scent from becoming a flat wall of heat. Styrax and warm spicy accords add a balsamic depth that feels intentional rather than loud. It suits someone who treats perfume as a private atmosphere instead of a greeting. If you usually reach for bright citrus or clean laundry musks, this composition will feel too dense and too still for your daily rhythm.
Sukimuki released No. 18 in 2019 as an oriental spicy scent that sits close to the skin with a dark, resinous weight. The notes do not sparkle or move quickly. They create a steady, meditative haze that pairs well with low light and cold air. It is unisex, but it leans toward a moody sensibility that rewards patience. The amber and smoky accords dominate the impression, while the iris provides a soft, slightly dusty counterpoint to the sticky resins. Picture a single lit stick of incense burning slowly in an empty wood-paneled room while a storm presses against the windows.
