KIHIKIHI ~ The journey of the Kihikihi NOTES Notes of Tarata, Lemon, Pepper, Incense Wood, Lavender, Volet, Rose, Styrax, Smoked Wood, Labdanum, Cedarwood. INSPIRED BY The journey of the kihikihi or known by some iwi Māori, te tarakihi (te reo Māori name for cicada) from years spent buried underground, to its short lifespan upon emergence. Top notes of tarata, pepper, incense wood, and lavendin represent the high-pitched vibrations of kihikihi song. The depths reveal smoked wood, violet blossoms, rubber, styrax, and labdanum, alluding to the long, slow period the kihikihi spends deep within the soil. Extrait de parfum is rich, dense and long lasting on the skin. All fragrances are applied directly to the skin, bringing an experience back to an age we have forgotten. Formulated in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland & made in Grasse France
