Kintsugi Perfumes - Taom – Eau de Parfum

Kintsugi Perfumes TAOM Eau de Parfum

A journey through contrast and calm

TAOM by Kintsugi Perfumes is an olfactory meditation on contradiction – between freshness and warmth, movement and stillness, presence and quiet. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken objects are repaired with gold, this fragrance does not smooth over what’s imperfect – it celebrates it. It’s a scent for those who understand that beauty often lives in tension.

Freshness, light and a spark of clarity

The opening of TAOM is luminous and bright. Bergamot and grapefruit burst forward with a radiant, almost cleansing energy. It’s the kind of freshness that doesn’t fade quickly, but opens a door – to air, to clarity, to space. Elemi adds a balsamic sharpness, while star anise threads in a whisper of cool spice – unexpected and sophisticated.

This first phase feels like a breath taken in the early morning: crisp, vital, and full of potential.

Stillness, spice and salt-skin softness

In the heart, TAOM begins to shift. Artemisia lends a green, slightly bitter floral tone, while Szechuan pepper adds a subtle tingle – quietly sensual, never sharp. Sea salt introduces a marine coolness, not overt, but present – like skin after wind, or sunlight on water.

And then: cognac. Warm, round, complex – it grounds the composition with depth and quiet elegance. This note brings a vintage soul to the fragrance, like aged wood or a silent evening room. TAOM invites you inward, without losing its clarity.

A warm, grounded base that lingers

The foundation of TAOM is built on cedarwood and vetiver, offering earthy, linear strength. Ambergris rounds the base with its smooth, almost skin-like presence – soft, mineral, subtly animalic. This scent does not rush. It stays, gently evolving on your skin, never demanding, always present.

TAOM is not made to impress. It’s made to resonate – for those who seek depth in silence, and complexity in subtlety.

At scent amor, TAOM stands as a niche perfume of inward clarity and unspoken power. A fragrance that honors your individual rhythm – one that invites discovery over time. If you believe in the beauty of imperfections and the strength of softness, TAOM may already belong to you.

A scent like a golden line through all that made you stronger.
