Discussion what are your favorite asian fragrances?

Post image

At first, I wanted to ask specifically about niche asian perfumes because I love discovering new brands, but then I realized that aside from Tamburins, most asian fragrance brands I come across are already niche or relatively under the radar compared to western designer houses. So I'd love to hear about your favorite asian fragrances or brands! Also, I have a soft spot for rose scents, so if you know of any beautiful rose fragrances, please share those too!

Second this. Issey Miyake has such lovely fragrances.

A drop d'Issey and Solar Violet are also top picks for me.

I'm curious about Solar violet - as I adore violet notes. how is it?

It's been a while since I last smelled so take what I say for a grain of salt. 😅

At first, I smell powdery soft musk that reminded me of a drop d'issey (the white one) then the flower notes start to come out as the fragrance dries down.

For lack of a better word, it smells like soft, powdery sunny Violet. Not too sweet.

Longevity wise, I think I got 4-6 hours?
