KAKIGORI

Obvious Parfums relentlessly explores the hidden beauty at the heart of the moment. In a world in constant transformation, Obvious Parfums offers a hedonistic vision of life by capturing fleeting instants of poetry.

Naturally, it is to the “Land of the Rising Sun” that David Frossard turned, drawn by a culture where Buddhism has shaped the art of contemplating the present moment, the only thing that rises above the ever-changing nature of all things.

What could be more poetic, more transient, than the snow from Mount Fuji, once carefully collected to refresh Japan’s summer elite? Delicately shaved, it was crowned with sweet syrups, fruit or tea – thus was born kakigōri!

While layering is embraced by a consumer eager to shape their own fragrance experience, we innovate by offering 3 scents that are as beautiful worn alone as they are when layered. Like its icy counterpart, Obvious Parfums’ kakigōris offers a unique olfactory experience. 3 fragrances as beautiful worn alone as layered.

TOP: Clean accord - Pink pepper
HEART: Iris Concrete - Rose Essential
BASE: White musk - Tonka bean absolute

“KAKIGORI WHITE CRUSH is the olfactory representation of the base that traditionally composes kakigōri — crushed ice, almost snow-like, which comes from frozen natural mineral water sourced in the snow-capped mountains of Japan.

Hence, I imagined a clean accord to represent the purity and transparency of the ice itself, while delicate notes of iris and white musk confer an elegant and precious aspect to the fragrance.”

TOP: Hazelnut accord - Cardamom - Black pepper oil
HEART: Dulce de leche accord - Sesame absolute
BASE : Vanilla bean - Guaiac wood oil - Sandalwood

The first of the two syrups draws its inspiration from the comforting DULCE DE LECHE, where milk and sugar melt together in a slow dance of sweetness and sensuality. Notes of nut, cardamom, sesame, vanilla, and sandalwood weave a spell for those who seek delicacy and elegance.

TOP: Davana oil - Rhum absolute
HEART: Salted prune accord - Immortelle absolute - Ciste absolute
BASE: Cypriol oil - Saffiano - Oakwoof

The second syrup, PLUM CREAM, reinterprets the Japanese plum, better known as umeboshi, which is traditionally enjoyed after a long maceration in salt. This saltiness reveals umami flavors, the famed fifth taste, which is captured in perfumery through the salted plum enhanced with rum, davana, and cistus, revealing a complex fruity leathery sensuality. This Japanese delicacy, interpreted in fragrance for the first time, expresses itself on the skin with depth and originality.

Delightful
Combination

The combination of KAKIGORI WHITE CRUSH and DULCE DE LECHE creates an unctuous, gourmand floral fragrance rich in contrasts.

The fresh, floral radiance of KAKIGORI WHITE CRUSH, combined with the creamy, nutty facets of DULCE DE LECHE, give the perfume an irresistibly appealing depth.

Combined with PLUM CREAM, KAKIGORI WHITE CRUSH amplifies contrasts. It brings purity and transparency, softening leathery notes into a softer suede.

The emphasis on the fruity dimension and the addition of a hint of rose and musk add a delicate, elegant note. The fragrance gains in depth and long-lasting richness.
