A tribute to Japanese tradition and its aesthetics with deconstructed, minimalist lines, J expresses an essential aspect of the CoSTUME NATIONAL DNA, in which the combination of East and West becomes the emblem of a unique and distinctive style. The excellence of the ingredients meets the delicacy and discretion of the Japanese attitude, creating an ethereal, deep and luminous fragrance.The bottle is an iconic design object: a reproduction in glass of the Ennio Capasa sculpture inspired by the human body, it embodies the brand’s identity with its iconic black, embellished with a delicate sfumato reminiscent of rising light. J is the sophisticated and proud glance of a geisha. As a delicate and graceful silk kimono, it expresses the elegance and charm of the Land of the Rising Sun’s thousand-year culture. Its fresh and sparkling top notes of LMR* neroli oil, mandarin and lime are reminiscent of Japanese creativity whilst evoking a basic material element: water. The heart notes — an explosion of cherry blossom, orange flower absolute and rose bloom — are filled with brightness, gentleness and elegance. The captivating base notes, a harmony of cashmere wood, rice powder and musk, recall the depth of traditions. In synergy with the fragrance I, it forms part of an olfactory journey that goes from East to West and defines the CoSTUME NATIONAL identity, marking the crossroads where past and future intersect.
