How does Kyoto compare to Avignon, the other incense in the Series 3 collection?+−
Kyoto is warmer, spicier, and greener than Avignon, with better balance between the incense and woody elements. While Avignon leans cooler and more austere, Kyoto feels more accessible and less austere—many prefer it for everyday wear. If you find Avignon too aloof or churchlike, Kyoto offers the incense concept with more wearability.
Does this fragrance project, or is it a skin scent?+−
Kyoto is designed for intimacy. It has low to moderate sillage, meaning it stays close to your skin rather than filling a room. This suits its meditative character perfectly. You'll catch it when you move or when someone leans in, but it won't announce itself across a space.
Is this unisex, or does it lean masculine or feminine?+−
It's genuinely unisex, though it reads slightly more masculine due to the woody and smoky DNA. The cypress, teakwood, and cedar ground it, but there's nothing in the composition that excludes any gender. Many women wear it specifically for its lack of sweetness and its grounded, temple-like quality.
