Natsumeku

Natsumeku is a highly naturalistic, intensely fresh citrus scent centered around yuzu, with a strong emphasis on herbal, woody, and slightly soapy accords. The opening is vibrant and bold—dominated by zesty yuzu, camphor, mint, and lavender—evoking the sensation of peeling fresh citrus on a sunny hillside. Over time, it settles into a dry, aromatic, woody-neroli drydown, with hinoki wood and oakmoss contributing an earthy, damp, leafy character. The scent is not overtly sensual; instead, it carries a pristine, innocent quality, resembling a moment of quiet forest immersion. While the initial burst is striking and compelling, longevity is short to moderate, and sillage quickly fades to intimate. The performance does not last long on most skin types, with many noting the front notes vanish within an hour. The soapy, almost translucent quality of the neroli and hinoki contributes to a slightly unclear, watery impression that some find unappealing. Yet, ultimately, it's celebrated for its realism and artistry—especially among enthusiasts who appreciate niche, botanical interpretations. It’s most favored in spring and daytime wear, and its unisex, discreet nature makes it suitable for those seeking authenticity over longevity.
