Toskovat Ichigo Ichie Extrait

Description

Ichigo Ichie is a soft, powdery Japanese spring in a bottle: pear, cherry blossom and tea steam over pale woods. Its name is the Japanese idea of “one time, one meeting”, the sense that each moment happens only once, and Toskovat' builds it around fleeting memories and places left behind. Composed by David-Lev Jipa-Slivinschi, it opens on buntan pomelo, hibiscus, nashi pear, ume plum, sakura and a fizzy cream-soda note. The heart is floral and misty: hydrangea, angel's trumpet, tiger lily, orris, water lily, black tea, steam and oshiroi powder. The base settles into hinoki, redwood, bleeding heart, rooibos tea, musk, amber, incense and a silky skin note.

• Base: Hinoki, Redwood, Bleeding Heart, Rooibos Tea, Musk, Amber, Incense, Silk

Note: “Steam”, “Oshiroi Powder” and “Silk” are the house's own accords: a misty, warm-water effect, the powder of traditional Japanese makeup and a smooth skin feel, rather than raw materials.

Performance

Longevity: Not yet well documented. Wearer reviews for this one are still few.

An honest note: with a heart this powdery and floral, expect a soft, skin-close scent rather than a loud one. Wearer reports are too few for us to quote a reliable number of hours.
