Asagiri
Fragrance notes
Character
Asagiri is a fragrance for someone who wants a forest without the gloom. Julian Bedel composed a scent that captures the bright side of timber, making it an ideal companion for a walk through a sunlit garden when the air is warm and the sky is clear. The opening hinoki wood provides a clean, resinous start that feels immediately refreshing. It avoids the heavy, dark mood that often defines wood-focused perfumes. This is a celebration of light hitting the bark, offering a crisp atmosphere that lifts the spirit rather than weighing it down.
The heart of thuja carries that bright energy forward with a distinct green character. It introduces an aromatic quality that feels like crushed leaves and fresh air. This note bridges the initial wood with a powdery softness that keeps the composition elegant and smooth. The transition is seamless, maintaining the fresh spicy accord without ever becoming sharp or aggressive. It stays close to the skin in texture, feeling natural and refined rather than synthetic or overwhelming.
Cedar anchors the base, but it remains true to the fragrance's airy mission. It provides a dry, steady foundation that supports the green and powdery elements above it. The result is a woody aromatic profile that feels complete and balanced, perfect for daytime wear when you want to feel connected to nature. It suits a person who appreciates minimalism and clarity in their scent. The overall impression is one of pure, sun-warmed cedar.
