d'Annam Arashiyama

d'Annam | Arashiyama | Eau de Parfum Arashiyama is a brilliantly tranquil, atmospheric fragrance from the luxury house d'Annam's Chapter Two: Memories of Japan collection. Conceived as an olfactory tribute to the mystical, sun-dappled calm of Kyoto's legendary bamboo grove, the fragrance stands as a serene celebration of silence and natural simplicity. It is built around the crisp, revitalizing essence of an open-air forest after a morning mist. It opens with a mouthwatering, ultra-crisp canopy of dew-kissed bamboo leaves and vibrant fresh grass, instantly capturing the electrical charge of a light, gentle rain. It shifts smoothly into a heart of wet, atmospheric rain notes and the soft, elegant texture of delicate violet before anchoring itself on a deeply smooth, structural baseline of raw bamboo wood. Olfactory Pyramid: Top Notes: Bamboo Leaves, Fresh Grass Heart Notes: Rain Notes, Violet Base Notes: Bamboo Wood Vibe: Intensely crisp, beautifully airy with aquatic rain facets, softly floral-green, and radiantly clean. Common QuestionsWhat are the notes in d'Annam Arashiyama? Bamboo leaf and grass at the top, rain notes and violet in the heart, and bamboo wood in the base. Is it a green fragrance? Yes, like Kyoto's bamboo grove after rain: green bamboo and grass with soft violet. Should I sample it first? Start with the 1.5mL sample and wear the perfume for a few days before moving to the 50mL. More from d'Annam: White Rice, Japanese Whiskey and Chinese Calligraphy.
