Kin/Metal by mikmoi — a fragrance inspired by the element of metal
Imagine metal not as cold and hard, but in terms of its shine, flexibility, and elegance. This is precisely the interpretation of the element offered by MIKMOI in Kin/Metal, released in 2014.
This unisex perfume (marketed as unisex) belongs to the green and spicy fragrance families, and was created by perfumer Michael Coyle.
The fragrance is part of a collection dedicated to the five Chinese elements, in which “Metal” is revealed through unexpected, warm facets.
How the composition unfolds
Kin/Metal is a spicy unisex fragrance built on contrasts. Its pyramid contains just three notes, yet they create an intricate, almost alchemical interplay.
Petitgrain lends bitter green nuances with woody facets, saffron adds a spicy, slightly intoxicating sweetness, while musk creates a mineral, enveloping warmth.
Together, these ingredients evoke the sensation of soft, malleable metal—shining and elegant.
Character and wearability
This fragrance is for those seeking something special. With its very strong sillage, Kin/Metal leaves a vivid impression without ever feeling aggressive.
It is ideal for evening occasions, cooler seasons, and moments when you want to feel confident.
Its unisex positioning makes it versatile: the perfume develops beautifully on any skin, adding a touch of individuality.
The creator’s craftsmanship
Perfumer Michael Coyle, the founder and creative director of MIKMOI, is known for his philosophical approach to olfactory art.
In Kin/Metal, he performs an almost alchemical feat: using “living,” warm ingredients—green notes, spices, and musk—he creates an impression of cool radiance.
This is a transformative fragrance that plays on the skin and lingers in the memory.
