Cult of Kaori Onsen Minerale Eau de Parfum

The crisp brightness of yuzu and green mandarin, mingling with a distinct mineralic impression that gently recalls the atmosphere of a Japanese hot spring in winter.

Lychee and subtle florals add a fresh lift, while a “hot steam” quality and soft water elements create a sense of cleanliness and tranquility without feeling clinical or overly sharp. Layers of hinoki, cypress, and cedar bring a nuanced, dry woodiness that feels true to the spa-like inspiration, finishing with a delicate balance of woods and a hint of lemony freshness.

Each part of this composition is thoughtfully rendered—never overwhelming, but uniquely immersive. Enjoy a blend that feels at once invigorating and calming, approachable for daily wear in cooler seasons and memorable for those who appreciate natural, photorealistic citrus and wood pairings.
