Kohshi Hanabi is a unisex fragrance launched in 2023 by the Japanese brand Kohshi, released as an eau de parfum.
It belongs to the green woody family and immediately sets a distinctive, cool, slightly astringent mood.
The fragrance is part of the Kilesa collection, where natural motifs are presented not as mere decoration, but with depth and texture.
Hanabi will appeal to those seeking not sugary lightness in perfumery, but the sensation of fresh air, herbs and warm wood.
The opening is built around an invigorating contrast of buchu, eucalyptus and grapefruit: citrus bitterness meets a green, almost medicinal coolness.
Then the composition becomes drier and spicier: lavender, wormwood, clove and tarragon create an aromatic accord with character.
In the base, guaiac wood, patchouli, tobacco, vetiver and musk add depth, earthy smokiness and a calm warmth.
As a result, Hanabi does not remain merely a fresh green fragrance: over time, it gains woody density and a mature, confident tone.
Kohshi Hanabi has a very strong sillage, making its presence noticeable and capable of filling your personal space.
This fragrance is especially well suited to walks in cool weather, evening outings and days when you want to emphasize your individuality with an unusual aromatic profile.
Specific recommendations for application on skin and clothing are not provided; however, given its intense sillage, it is worth applying it with care.
Start with the minimum number of sprays and allow the composition time to unfold: its green and woody facets will evolve gradually.
Hanabi was created by Matsuno Hidenori, and the composition is particularly interesting for its pairing of crisp herbal freshness with a dark woody base.
This contrast makes the fragrance recognizable: it feels composed and modern, without trying to be universally “easy to wear.”
If you enjoy fresh classics with a distinct character, you may wish to compare it with Dior Eau Sauvage, as well as S.T. Dupont Pour Homme and Van Cleef & Arpels Tsar.
However, Kohshi Hanabi stands out for its greener, more herbal and woody-tobacco development on the skin.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes of Kohshi Hanabi—buchu, eucalyptus, and grapefruit—open the composition with tart greenery, coolness, and a citrus sparkle.
At the heart, wormwood, clove, lavender, and tarragon enhance its aromatic, spicy, and slightly bitter character.
A base of guaiac wood, patchouli, tobacco, vetiver, and musk makes the scent drier, warmer, and deeper.
The fragrance pyramid brings together green, aromatic, citrus, floral, woody, and musky nuances in a rich unisex perfume.
