Bushi no Ko – Scent of the Armored Soul
Inspired by the secret rituals of Japan’s legendary warriors, Bushi no Ko (“Child of the Warrior”) revives the forgotten art of fragrance once worn beneath samurai armor. Before battle, samurai would scent their garments and inner plates with incense — not only for purification, but as a mark of personal honor, legacy, and inner calm.
Bushi no Ko opens with the assertive spark of pink pepper, saffron, and raspberry, igniting the spirit like the first clash of steel. At its heart, a deep and ceremonial blend of incense, suede, lavender, and Bulgarian rose channels the warrior’s inner stillness and reverence for beauty even in the face of death.
The base settles into a rich and meditative trail of leather, bourbon vanilla, and praline, enveloped by the sacred woods of cedar, the warmth of tonka bean, and the subtle sweetness of candied almond. Modern, bold, and steeped in legacy, this is the scent of a warrior who walks with grace — even in chaos.
