The blossom-viewing kimono—
disrobed, I'm entwined in
a sea of sashes
- Hisajo Sugita
An ode to magnolia in all of its nuances — radiant and creamy with inflections of verbena honey and distant violet. Rich and sweetly voluptuous, Kimono swathes you in silky ripe florals.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Kimono suits the moment when formal dress begins to feel personal: conversation settles, sleeves loosen, and the room grows quieter. Its ripe magnolia and lipstick-like powder suggest a composed presence softened by warmth, with sweetness that feels tactile rather than playful.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring weather or cooler indoor settings, where the fresh floral opening and creamy powder can remain balanced. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms; its medium projection allows some presence without requiring heavy application. Use a lighter hand in heat, when the floral sweetness may feel fuller.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to creamy magnolia, cosmetic powder and the softness of fabric-inspired scents. Kimono offers floral richness with a fresh edge, appealing to tastes that favor tactile, gently sweet compositions over sharp citrus or dark woody weight.
Release year
2024 (or 2025)
The nose
Anh Ngo created Kimono and is credited as the perfumer for d’Annam’s Chapter 2: Memories of Japan collection. Here, magnolia is interpreted through creamy floral richness, fabric-like softness and cosmetic powder.
Collaborators
Kazuki Yamamoto is credited as advisor and Keita Sato as poetry curator for Memories of Japan, the collection containing Kimono. Their contributions belong to the collection’s cultural and poetic framework; neither is credited as a co-author of Kimono’s formula.
d'Annam’s story
d’Annam is a Vietnamese fine-fragrance house exploring Asian cultures through scent. Guided by calmness, delight and respect, it works with local creatives to build emotional narratives around culturally specific details rather than treating Asia as a single aesthetic.
Kimono’s concept
Part of Chapter 2: Memories of Japan, Kimono translates the garment’s elegance into magnolia, silk-like softness, rice flour and lipstick powder. Its accompanying poem by Hisajo Sugita describes removing a blossom-viewing kimono and becoming entwined in its sashes, bringing an intimate, tactile counterpoint to the garment’s formality.
Extra info
Kimono is the sixth fragrance in the nine-scent Memories of Japan collection. Although silk appears in its official notes, d’Annam describes its products as vegan: the term evokes a texture rather than establishing animal-derived silk as an ingredient.
