Kyoto is part of the Comme des Garcons Incense Series (3). This series was launched in 2002 and is devoted to the five main spiritual teachings of humanity. Each fragrance is named after a city that is significant to those teachings. Kyoto is Buddhism and Shintoism and is an incensey/woody fragrance composed of incense oil, cypress, coffee, teak wood, vetiver, patchouli, amber, everlasting flower and Virginia cedar. It is named after the city of Kyoto, considered the heart of Japan. It is an eau de toilette, edt, and was created by Bertrand Duchafour.
Beautiful mix of woodsy smells, plenty of cedar but this is not any more an "incense" fragrance than a cedar chest would be. Delightful but not really what I was hoping for. The projections and longevity seemed moderate at best.
Sweet balsams, mosses and precious woods predominate. Incense is not a major player but is subtly present as the scent develops. Good longevity, stays fairly close to the skin. Quite lovely, and a personal favorite.
