Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Kyoto, what a surprise to see you so red, even though you’ve already let your cards down. At first, your opening awakens the palate: you smell of carbonated water with glucose syrup, spices, and a host of plants reminiscent of that Venezuelan-German aperitif I adore, the Bitter. A sip that leaves the sweet behind to become bitter and structured, not for everyone. You were a lightning strike; I’ve recognised you little by little, like a ghost. Then the roses arrive, bitter, mixed with that earthy beetroot. Your dry-down remains solid, just as well as the vetiver that gives you structure. This sweet-and-sour blend suits you incredibly well; I feel so familiar with it. If you enjoy classic liqueurs such as bitter, Angostura, Cinzano, or ginger ale, you might adore this. But given its character, it’s better to try before you buy.

Pu-Érh red tea is famous for its earthy fermented flavour; if you’ve tried it, this scent will sound familiar to you. That earthiness comes from the beetroot, but the first thing I thought of when smelling it was red tea, even though I don’t wear it. The blend of beetroot and rose feels separate at times, but sometimes they merge and remind me of apricot – a sweet fruity note that appears occasionally, though not constantly and somewhat subjectively. Not everyone enjoys the earthy side, but here it is very clean. It makes you want to mist the sheets with Kyoto or stroll under the shade on a hot spring or summer day.
