Melon Masu by Cult of Kaori is a fruity-floral amber fragrance inspired by the Japanese ritual of enjoying chilled saké in summer. It is described as an olfactory image of a glass filled to overflowing into a traditional wooden masu cup, translating this scene into a scent that combines cool, watery nuances with soft woods and amber. The composition opens with notes of saké, pear, cucumber, mountain water, fermented rice and green melon, creating a fresh, juicy and aqueous start. A floral heart of rose, iris and jasmine adds a gentle, powdery and petal-like character. The base rests on sweet musk, Japanese cedar, hinoki wood and amber, giving the fragrance a warm, slightly resinous and woody-amber drydown.
