[KINTSUGI PERFUMES]
COMPANY INFORMATION
Kintsugi Perfumes is an independent, artisanal fragrance house founded in Prague in 2021, dedicated to the philosophy of the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi, which honors the history of broken objects by repairing them with gold lacquer. The brand applies this metaphor to perfumery by crafting gender-neutral, vegan-friendly scents designed to celebrate individuality and resilience rather than conforming to conventional notions of perfection. Each fragrance, formulated with high-quality natural essential oils sourced responsibly and produced in Grasse, France, aims to capture unique moments and emotions, transforming personal narratives into a meaningful olfactory experience.
Looking at ourselves in the mirror—and for once, not seeing imperfections to fix. Seeing what we have become. Shaped into whoever we needed to be. Lost in searching everywhere for the meaning of it all. But the real muse isn’t out there in the world. It has been within us all along.
Múza opens with the radiant brightness of bergamot and juicy peach, softened by the subtle mystique of palo santo and the green touch of magnolia leaf. At its heart, the warmth of jasmine tea blends with the gentle spice of sweet fennel, delicately lifted by rosewood. The base settles into amber, musk, and sandalwood, leaving a trail that feels luminous yet grounded. The whole composition carries a remarkable naturalness—as if this fragrance were born entirely from the purest energy.

A wise man who can find pleasure in all the little things. An old soul that can rejoice as a small child. Constant cheerfulness that has real depth. What would it be like to feel that way for at least a day?
A cloud of cotton candy floats with notes of orange blossom anchored by clove. In the heart, tonka lies side by side with violet and amber on a delicate oakmoss with vetiver and amber.

You find yourself in a world so breathtaking, where beauty surrounds you on all sides and your heart is filled with wonder and joy. Every moment you are enveloped in a warm, affectionate embrace that gives you a feeling of endless love and unconditional acceptance. But within the tight grip lies a powerful power. You feel untouchable. This world lies at your feet, waiting for you to shape its destiny. Whatever you dream of, everything else will follow.
Once we get lost in Ambre, each of us finds ourselves in a different place, in a different time. What unites us are the notes of cocoa, sprinkled with a pinch of paprika, with a hint of rum, which awakens in us a desire for spontaneity. A whiff of dried fruit flashes around, while oak wood calms our heartbeat once again. The base of vanilla and Indian sandalwood conceals the perseverance to fulfill bold visions, while myrrh represents an indomitable ancient force, reminding us of the importance of our intuition.

There is a tiny spark inside each of us. It holds so much energy that its power fills us with fear. All we have to do is find the courage to ignite it. Once that happens, nothing will ever be the same. It's like you've finally spread your wings and taken flight.
Most of us see the Phoenix as a being that burns itself out to rise again from the ashes. But we forget about its other characteristic. It lives for five hundred years.

Do you know that feeling when you're walking through a forest and it's so quiet that you can hear your own soul talking to you? In Japanese, they call it Shinrin-yoku, or "forest bathing." I imagine us walking together through the forest paths, our conversation flowing through the trees. There's so much I want to tell you.
Sweet lychee accord and rare yuzu essential oil blend at the top with fresh woody notes of cypress and pine. From afar, mysterious mastic beckons, followed by seaweed. The sweet woody scent lingers thanks to osmanthus, also known as the scent flower. Hanzo continues to magically evolve into a base of vetiver, balsam fir, oakmoss and cedar wood.

To live your days at the slowest pace possible. To build momentum. To let life flow. To be able to stop, to turn back, to take a step in a different direction. To listen to your heart, but to think about why things are happening. To be present and have bold visions. To not be afraid to stand in line. To desire to leave a legacy. In other words - to not be one step ahead, nor one step behind.

If you give up all vices, you won’t live longer. It will only seem longer to you. In connection with Santal, your very existence is an act of rebellion. On Monday morning you’re enjoying a correto instead of a boring espresso and the eyes of strangers quietly ask you "What do you do for a living?"
Smoky cardamom with a hint of raspberry and a pinch of thyme is complemented by smooth iris, pungent saffron and oriental nagarmotha in the heart. Everything is conducted by decadent sandalwood, animalic castoreum and leather.
