Mijaurée — Kohshi’s spicy fragrance
Mijaurée Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance by the Japanese brand Kohshi, released in 2023.
The composition is part of the Kilesa collection and reflects the brand’s signature interest in expressive, multilayered fragrances in eau de parfum concentration.
By character, Mijaurée combines floral, green, spicy and woody facets.
It is a fragrance for those who prefer neither obvious sweetness nor light freshness, but a contrasting composition with a cool opening, a spicy heart and a warm, resinous-woody drydown.
Character and development on the skin
At first, the composition feels sparkling and fresh: the citrusy energy of bergamot and lemon meets the greenish, almost cool facet of eucalyptus.
This opening quickly draws attention, but it does not come across as an ordinary citrus accord — a deeper, spicier development is already taking shape.
In the heart, Mijaurée becomes sharper and more expressive.
Black and white pepper create a dry, spicy texture, while star anise adds a distinctive anise nuance; chamomile softens this facet and lends the fragrance a subtle floral touch.
The final stage of the composition is built around incense, sandalwood, mimosa and vanilla.
Incense gives the base volume and a slightly meditative quality, sandalwood adds creamy woodiness, mimosa brings a soft powdery-floral nuance, and vanilla gently rounds out the scent without making it overtly gourmand.
Positioning and wearability
Mijaurée is an eau de parfum with a very strong sillage.
The fragrance develops best in cool weather, with evening outfits and in situations where a noticeable, memorable perfume composition is appropriate.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, it smells equally interesting on women’s and men’s skin, while the final impression depends on individual skin temperature and dosage.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to begin with a small number of sprays and increase the intensity if necessary. This makes it easier to assess the development of the incense, spices and woody base without overwhelming the surroundings.
Other concentrations of Mijaurée are not listed in the available data, so it is not possible to compare the Eau de Parfum with Eau de Toilette or Extrait versions.
The key feature of this release is its seamless progression from a fresh citrus-green opening to a spicy heart and a warm, rich trail.
The perfumer and the fragrance’s place in the brand’s style
The composition was created by Hidenori Matsuno.
In Mijaurée, his work is expressed through a balance of contrasts: cool citrus and green notes gradually give way to peppery spice, the depth of incense and soft woods.
As a result, the fragrance feels composed, unusual and expressive enough to become a distinctive part of a perfume wardrobe.
If you would like to explore more rich, characterful compositions, you may also want to consider Nicolai Parfumeur Createur New-York.
It is not a copy of Mijaurée, but it may appeal to those who enjoy complex, noticeable fragrances with multifaceted development.
