The crystalline purity of snow.
What could be more poetic, more transient, than the snow from Mount Fuji, once carefully collected to refresh Japan's summer elite? Delicately shaved, it was crowned with sweet syrups, fruit or tea - thus was born kakigori!
KAKIGORI WHITE CRUSH is a fragrance that evokes the pristine whiteness of imperial snow. Built around a delicate white musk accord, elevated by iris and rose, it captures a sense of icy innocence. Worn alone, it offers a quest for crystalline purity

Orris is traced back in history to the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, who grew the beautiful flower in their gardens. In Greek mythology, Iris was the messenger of the gods. It was believed that the flower, with its wing-like petals, accompanied human souls to the heavens.
Iris Concrete LMR represents a historic quality from Laboratoire Monique Rémy Naturals. To obtain this unique olfactory quality, LMR has chosen to combine irises of different origins: Pallida (more floral) and Germanica (more gourmand). Orris rhizomes first require about 3 years underground between planting and harvest, and then, to dry for another 3 years. Contrary to common market practices, LMR’s maturation process takes place under natural conditions, without chemicals, thanks to cost-innovation program with iris farmers.
