Tomoo Inaba

"Moth is a dark, atmospheric fragrance built around an intricate contrast between intense spices, delicate florals, honey, smoke, woods, and oud. The opening is sharply spiced, combining clove, saffron, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon. A powdery floral heart of heliotrope, mimosa, iris, rose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley softens the composition without removing its brooding character. The drydown becomes dense and shadowy, with honey, smoke, resins, agarwood, musk, guaiac wood, ambergris, cypriol, patchouli, and vetiver. Its overall character is gothic, complex, warm, and unusual rather than conventionally easygoing. Moth is designed as an expressive unisex extrait with strong contrasts between luminous florals and a dark, smoky woody base."

Reviews Summary

“Moth is widely characterized as dense, complex, gothic, and heavily spiced. Its progression moves from a forceful spice opening into powdery florals and a dark drydown marked by honey, smoke, woods, resins, and oud-like depth. The fragrance is considered unusual and challenging to predict from its note list, making it especially appealing to wearers who enjoy highly individualistic compositions.”
