Misty Cypress Ash captures a mountain landscape with swirls of smoke rising from smoldering cypress branches amid the forest mist. Opens with an herbaceous, slightly bitter green haze of absinthe and wormwood, transitioning into a warm, spicy and woody heart of cypress and rich tobacco. Finally it settles into a comfortable, earthy and mineral-smoky finish with rooty vetiver and austere cedar.
Perfumer: Yang Liu
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close, quiet spaces where the air feels cool and slightly wet, and where its smoky green character can read as composed rather than loud. It suits a wearer who prefers a calm, contemplative presence with a dry, forest-floor edge.
How to wear
Best in cool weather or air-conditioned settings, where its cypress, incense and vetiver can stay crisp and legible. Apply lightly, as one to three sprays, to let the smoky-earthy base unfold gradually on skin without overwhelming the room.
Who it’s for
For people drawn to green woods, incense, damp earth and mineral smoke, especially if they like fragrances that feel austere, natural and quietly textured rather than sweet or polished.

Zhiwuzhi 挚物志’s story
Zhiwuzhi is a Chinese fragrance house shaped by classical Chinese scent culture and an interest in botanical, medicinal and natural materials. Its work tends to translate cultural imagery into restrained, atmospheric compositions rather than literal storytelling.
Misty Cypress Ash 青岚柏烬’s concept
Misty Cypress Ash is presented as a mountain scene in scent: cypress branches smoldering in forest mist, with smoke, damp earth and mineral air moving through the composition. The fragrance builds from a sharp green opening into a woody, earthy drydown that feels like ash settling on wet ground.
Extra info
The Chinese name, 青岚柏烬, suggests blue-green mountain mist, cypress and ash. The fragrance is built around a landscape image rather than a conventional perfume fantasy, with petrichor and wormwood giving it a distinctly atmospheric opening.
