I can’t add anything more to my review of Dame. I bought a miniature to try it out as I hadn’t tested it before. It has a soapy touch, like the cleanliness Dame mentions. It smells of plant-based freshness and comfort, and is unisex. It’s very delicate and conveys that Japanese essence of simplicity, humility and honesty, in harmony with nature and a love for the subtle. To me, it reminds me more of delicate Japanese paper than sumi-e painting, as nothing stands out like a bold ink stroke. It makes me think of those papers of infinite exquisite quality sold in Japan; if anyone has seen them, they’ll understand. I think something similar can be found nowadays, perhaps without quite the same subtlety or that elegant packaging that rejects all artifice.
