Arashi 嵐 — Storm

Arashi opens like a storm gathering on the horizon — frankincense and cardamom rising with bright citrus and the sharp flick of Sichuan pepper. This is a fragrance of extraordinary complexity, with over a dozen individually sourced ingredients woven into a composition that unfolds across many hours.

The heart is a spiced resinous accord: patchouli, rose, and saffron meeting anise and coriander in a blend that evokes the aromatic weight of a Bedouin campfire, a Moroccan spice market, a sacred space. The base compounds this into something near overwhelming in the best possible way — oud, benzoin, labdanum, and ambergris in a dark, warm, endlessly lasting accord.

Arashi is an olfactive world of wealth and pure opulence — frankincense, oud and ambergris in a composition of extraordinary depth.
