d.grayi Low Carb Cat Eau de Parfum

Crisp opening melts into warm, buttery comfort—a fearless fragrance that refuses to choose between fresh and cozy.

Catnip, shiso, and a squeeze of bergamot open cool and green, almost like a herb-laced breeze through an open bakery door. Very quickly, vanilla cake and sakura cookies start to rise, turning that freshness into something cozy and edible—soft, fluffy vanilla with a cherry blossom twist that keeps it from feeling like a generic cupcake.

In the drydown, white cream and civetone add a smooth, slightly animalic warmth, giving the impression of a mischievous cat weaving between pastry boxes: creamy, gently sweet, and a tiny bit feral rather than flat sugar.

If you like gourmands that lean vanilla but still feel light enough for spring and summer, this is an easy choice for days when you want dessert energy without full-on frosting overload.

d.grayi is an artisan fragrance house from the United States, created by perfumer James “Miju” Nguyen and offered through LV1 Studio.

Drawing on Vietnamese and Korean roots, the brand crafts narrative-driven perfumes that blend traditional materials—like jasmine rice, pandan, pho spices, and Vietnamese oud—with contemporary perfume techniques to form vivid “olfactive stories.”

Nguyen’s journey into perfumery began after a vivid dream of a complex, never-before-smelled scent, which he set out to recreate, shaping a collection that now spans dozens of experimental fragrances.
