For: women and men Designer: Comme des Garcons Olfactive Group: Oriental WoodyAvignon – Catholicism
Ouarzazate – Islam
Zagorsk – Orthodox Christianity
Jaisalmer – Hinduism
Kyoto – Buddhism and Shintoism
Each of the fragrances is named after the cities significant for those teachings.
Kyoto is Buddhism and Shintoism, a fragrance for meditation, named after the city of Kyoto, considered to be the heart of Japan. Kyoto is calm and wise, it takes us through the temples of the city, making us think and reconcile. The eternal green aromatic cypress mixes with calm and powerful elegance of cedar; vetiver invites us to listen to the breathing of black and warm earth. Powerful, yet not rough, Kyoto can also be found in a form of fragrant candle for the house.
The main notes are: incense, cypress oil, coffee, teak wood, patchouli, amber, cedar and immortal flower.
Comme des Garcons Series 3 Incense: Kyoto Fragrance Reviews:
add reviewI like this one much.
8/10


then the incense makes way, slowly you can see from behind it a wood box, my untrained nose says rose wood but it's probably teak as the notes say...
wow... all i can say... this is a masculine fragrance, but i felt it took me on a journey. i don't know how it would be to wear, but i really enjoy it with a bit of Sushi Imperiale by Bois 1920 lurking around... but im a girl...

I already had perfumes with incense in it, Kyoto is probablky the most literal incense fragrance I have ever tried apart from John Galliano EDP. Except that JG is a scent of an old, cosy, wooden church where incence was burnt, reminding me of Christmas masses.
Kyoto is raw, sharp, dry. There is nothing cozy about it. I would not say it makes me think of religion or shinto shrine as such though, but more about wild forests with its moss and woody notes.
An interesting fragrance for both men and women.


To compare with C.Lacroix's Tumulte, Kyoto's smoother, lighter, deeper, less masculin, while Tumulte is dry, stronger and edger. However, they are really similar to eachother.
Onething that I complain about Kyoto: its longervity is not so good.
Anyway, Kyoto is really a signature incense scent. 8,5/10

It is of course tempting to make a comparison with another incense and cedar fragrance: Christian Lacroix's Tumulte. They are undoubtedly in the same family, but there are important differences. Tumulte, for instance, is much, much dryer and has a definite harshness in the top notes. Kyoto on the other hand opens very smoothly and even with a hint of sweetness. There is also a difference on the skin: Kyoto seems to be warming it, while Tumulte does not. On the whole I would say that Tumulte is more rugged and masculine, Kyoto more elegant and peaceful.
If you like incense, try Kyoto. The olfactory trip it will take you on is well worth it...

I can imagine my self meditating in front of a large Buddha statue while the beautiful incense is surrounding me. This scent brings me peace of mind and tranquility.
