KOAN-MANTRA marks the beginning of the Journey Series — a gateway where fragrance becomes reflection, and scent transforms into a quiet dialogue between body and soul.
Each note is chosen with intention, shaping an olfactory path that mirrors the awakening of human consciousness.
The composition opens with radiant citrus, airy ozonic accords, and a spark of black pepper — a vivid impression of newness and vitality. It evokes the essence of birth: the moment one enters the world untouched, unshaped, and brimming with possibility.
As the scent deepens, the journey turns inward. Wisps of unburned incense intertwine with aquatic tones that drift toward the marine, capturing the fragile interplay between faith and truth — reminding us that belief is never absolute, and certainty is never pure.
Finally, a subtle animalic nuance emerges, soft yet enigmatic. It lingers like a quiet mystery, symbolizing humanity’s timeless curiosity — the desire to uncover the unseen, to seek meaning beyond the tangible.
