Kiji for Him Annayake — a 2020 fragrance that needs no introduction. This is a masculine fragrance rooted in the spicy and fern families. Part of the Kiji collection, available as eau de toilette.
Made in Japan. Kiji for Him Annayake — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Kiji for Him is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Annayake is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Spicy, Citrus, Wood and Floral. The palette also extends to Mineral, Ambery and Musk. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Fern and Spicy.
At the opening of the pyramid you catch piquant warm top notes: Black Pepper, Citrus accord and Juniper.
In the heart you notice Anise, Iris and Ozone holding a spicy-aromatic direction.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Abstract, Citrus, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Powdery, Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together Kiji for Him reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best understood in wear.
