Mono No Aware

Fragrance Notes: Tobacco / Vervaine

As with all translation there is no perfect equivalent. The Japanese concept of “mono no aware” evokes not only notions of ephemerality and transience, but of the beauty and pathos we are able to glimpse in the fleeting nature of things.

Asymptotic turns of smoke. A melancholy for the indentations of the pit on the peach. The feeling of walking out on the street in front of a theater — still — you carry the images.
