Since 2017, Kikyo Miya Shinma has never stopped surprising. This is a unisex fragrance rooted in the spicy, powdery, and floral families. Inspiration and execution — all of it is Miya Shinma. Part of the L'Eau de Miya Shinma collection, available as eau de parfum.
The birthplace of this fragrance — Japan, a place with a refined nose. Kikyo Miya Shinma unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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 rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
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 Kikyo is shaped as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The signature of Miya Shinma is clear from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Spicy, Floral, Powdery and Whiteflower. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Floral, Powdery and Spicy.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a peppery-spicy mood: Ginger, Iris, Powdery notes and Spices. In this case 4 notes act as one voice, building warm spicy pulse that reads as cohesive from the start.
The heart and base are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together Kikyo holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.
