retaW launched KK.0001 in 2021 — and it was a brilliant move. A unisex fragrance rooted in the leather, wood, and musk families. Created as part of the retaW x Kiko Kostadinov collection. Available as solid perfume.
Japan is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. KK.0001 retaW — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
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 rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A compact perfume format based on wax or oils, allowing you to delicately refresh your fragrance throughout the day
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 composition of KK.0001 evolves as a layered story, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of retaW is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Solid perfume emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Musc, Wood and Leather with each one in a clear role. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the fragrance opens as a single chord with a soft-dry woody mood: Cedar, Leather accord, Sandalwood, Vetiver and musk. In this case 5 notes work as one voice, building lasting warm resonance that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The inner phases are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Wood, Leather and Musk. At family level the scent maps to Leather, Musk and Wood.
In summary KK.0001 reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
