Listening’ to the scent allows your senses to be infused and to experience it with one’s entire being. Based on a philosophy derived from Khodo - the Japanese ceremony of appreciating a subtle and exquisite fragrance - AOIRO has been exploring a different way of using scent as an olfactory experience in space.

With the latter in mind, AOIRO’s HAKUDO RAIN scent is inspired by the atmosphere of a spirited Japanese island after rainfall. It enables us to experience the sensation of air being charged with the spirit of rain. Smooth earthiness and dark, powerful greens are highlighting the quality of humidity as a main profile. Combined with airy notes of leafy and resinous essences, the scent slowly draws a vivid scenery with three-dimensional depth and creates a captivating air that rejuvenates the mind and spirit.

STUDIO CORKINHO completes the ceremony set with nine cubic cork sculptures. Exploring the unique and raw, organic surfaces of burnt cork, each object offers a diffusion ground, on which the HAKUDO RAIN botanical essence can be dripped. Spread around the space or kept together to intensify the energy of the scent: the set brings a personal ritual into our private space as a sensory experience that stimulates and harmonises our presence, offering stillness and mindfulness.

HAKUDO RAIN CORK DIFFUSER generates a daily ritual, a simple and pure experience in order to reconnect with the value of time once again and to create awareness of how scent drives us into the body of our memory. As a result, one ‘listens’ to the scent, letting it flow within our entire being to enter the now-here
