Inoui

Inoui, launched by Shiseido in 1976, is a chypre that opens with a bracing green accord: galbanum, juniper, and Amalfi lemon, softened by a whisper of peach. The heart shifts to a resinous, aromatic blend of pine, thyme, and jasmine, with freesia adding a cool floral touch. The base is a classic chypre foundation of oakmoss and Virginia cedar, deepened by myrrh and the animalic warmth of civetta.

This is a fragrance for collectors who appreciate vintage chypres with a strong aromatic character. The dominant accords—aromatic, woody, and green—make it ideal for those who enjoy scents like Givenchy III or Clinique Aromatics Elixir. It suits wearers who prefer a dry, mossy, and spicy composition over sweet or floral profiles. Best worn in cooler weather or evening settings, Inoui is a sophisticated choice for someone seeking a distinctive, old-school chypre experience.

Inoui 於1976年由資生堂推出，屬西普香調。前調以白松香、杜松、阿馬爾菲檸檬和桃子的綠意果香開場；中調轉為松樹、百里香、茉莉與小蒼蘭的芳香草本；基調則以橡苔、維吉尼亞雪松、沒藥和靈貓香收尾，呈現經典西普的苔蘚與動物感。整體以芳香、木質和綠色為主導，氣質乾燥、沉穩且帶辛辣。適合喜愛復古西普、追求個性香氣的用家，尤其適合秋冬季節或晚間場合，展現成熟優雅的風範。
