Have you worn Japanese Whiskey?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. It’s a Japanese whisky with a Vietnamese soul 🤑🫰💵. In recent years, many perfume houses have emerged, and this Vietnamese brand has brought us an EDP inspired by whisky and Japanese culture. The presentation is brutal: a wooden box and a minimalist bottle, like opening an expensive Japanese whisky. Upon application, it smells of whisky left clinging to the glass, with woody sandalwood notes, a sweet touch (not gourmand) and a powdery texture. As it dries, the whisky fades, leaving only that alcoholic trail, while the woody notes become creamy and hazelnutty thanks to the chestnut. The base is warm, cosy and rich, very unisex; the opening is more masculine due to the dominating whisky. Good quality, versatile and minimalist. It reminds me of Baraonda, Kutay and Old Fashioned (almost a copy of Kilian’s Single Malt). It definitely joins my collection. Two complaints: I’d like the alcohol to last longer, and what really bugs me is that it only comes in 150ml. I’m not alone; the official website is full of complaints. If other perfumes from the house come in 50ml, why is this one only 150ml? That atypical size doesn’t sound special, but rather a forced sales strategy (US$380). I understand the Japanese philosophy of living in the moment, but the Vietnamese seem to have another idea. The perfume speaks of Japanese serenity, but the size screams pure profitability…

  2. A Japanese whisky with a Vietnamese soul: incredible how so many houses have emerged, and this Vietnamese one brings us an EDP inspired by Japan. The wooden box and minimalist bottle imitate opening an expensive single malt, a very special presentation. It smells of whisky left in the glass, with woody sandalwood notes, a light non-gourmand sweetness and a powdery texture. As it dries, the alcohol disappears, leaving a creamy, hazelnutty and warm base, cosy and unisex (the opening is more masculine due to the whisky). Good quality, versatile and different from others like Baraonda, Kutay or Old Fashioned. Minimal and rich. Two complaints: the alcohol doesn’t last long and what really bugs me is that it only comes in 150ml for 380 dollars, while others from the house are 50ml. It feels like a forced sales strategy; the Japanese philosophy speaks of serenity, but the size screams pure profitability.

    It’s like mixing Santal 33 with a little bit of Bianco Latte.
