About Kohshi Tsuzumi 鼓 Perfume
Kohshi Tsuzumi 鼓 is a 2022 unisex perfume created by the Japanese brand Kohshi.
The fragrance was released as an eau de parfum and became part of the L'Héritage collection, where traditional aesthetics meet a modern interpretation of woody and floral accords.
The name Tsuzumi 鼓 refers to the Japanese tsuzumi drum—a symbol of rhythm, movement and expressive simplicity.
In the composition, this idea emerges through the contrast between a fresh citrus opening, a transparent floral heart and a warm woody-amber base.
The perfume does not try to be exclusively delicate or austere; instead, it balances purity, depth and gentle sensuality.
The fragrance was created by perfumer Hidenori Matsuno.
His approach unfolds here in a multilayered composition, where the Japanese theme is expressed not literally, but through a sense of calm, natural materials and a carefully structured rhythm of transitions.
Tsuzumi 鼓 may appeal to those who appreciate expressive fragrances that are not tied to a single gender narrative.
In character, it is a woody-floral perfume with citrus, green, aromatic, spicy, white-floral, gourmand and amber nuances.
This combination gives it a sense of volume: the freshness gradually softens into flowers and herbs before developing into a rich, warm and enveloping base.
Tsuzumi 鼓 is described as having a very strong sillage, so the fragrance is noticeable in its surroundings and can maintain a long-lasting presence around the wearer.
For a first introduction, it is best to start with a small number of sprays and observe how it develops on the skin: its intensity depends on the temperature, humidity, skin type and application area.
Specific recommendations for applying it to the skin and clothing are not provided in the database.
This eau de parfum is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, walks, dates or occasions when you want to leave a memorable trail behind.
At the same time, the citrus sparkle and floral transparency make it suitable not only for formal occasions but also for everyday wear—as long as it is applied moderately.
In terms of mood, Kohshi Tsuzumi 鼓 can be considered alongside The Spirit of Dubai Bahar, Al Haramain Perfumes Afaaf and S Parfum Breeze.
These are not direct copies, but possible directions for further exploration for those interested in noticeable compositions with floral, woody and amber facets.
Within the context of the Kohshi brand, this release highlights the brand's Japanese origins and its interest in unisex eau de parfum fragrances.
Tsuzumi 鼓 feels like a cohesive representative of the L'Héritage collection: it combines a cultural association, a rich palette of notes and modern wearability without a rigid division between “feminine” and “masculine” scents.
