This year marks a double celebration for us at Auphorie, which are the 10th anniversary of our founding and the 10th anniversary of the official launch of our award-winning Miyako extrait. To celebrate this special milestone, we are honored to unveil the final and ultimate addition to our “Mangekyō No Miyako” universe, which is a special collection that reimagines Miyako through vibrant, kaleidoscopic olfactory expressions. Introducing Konjiki No Miyako, the grand finale of this celebrated series. This scent composition is crafted from a selection of exceptional natural materials, including rare, irreplaceable vintage extracts that have been meticulously aged, blended harmoniously with great finesse into a one-of-a-kind exquisite all-natural extrait.
The scent composition centers around a vivid, three-dimensional heart of golden osmanthus, crafted with a generous dose of exquisite golden osmanthus absolute and an exceptional, rare golden osmanthus enfleurage extract. This radiant natural accord captures a luxurious golden portrayal of a picturesque scene of golden osmanthus blossoms in full fragrant bloom. Complementing the luxurious heart of golden osmanthus is a specially curated vintage Nha Trang oud oil. This rare batch has been patiently aged for 20 years, developing a mesmerizingly deep and nuanced olfactory profile that enriches the composition with remarkable depth and richness. Further enhancing the opulent heart of the composition is a lavish bouquet of artisanal floral extracts. This includes the prized Hamanasu rose otto, which is an essential oil distilled from Japanese Hamanasu rose native to Japan’s coastal landscapes, imparting a redolent touch of exoticness. Meanwhile, a masterfully crafted coextraction of violet leaf and flower from Grasse contributes a refined layer of pure elegance and sophistication. Unlike conventional violet leaf absolute which is extracted solely from the leaf, this rare co-extraction of violet leaf and flower offers a sweet, fruity, green-fresh floralcy that harmonizes seamlessly with the golden osmanthus. Further enhancing this delicate interplay, golden mimosa absolute adds a sublime golden touch that deepens the osmanthus–violet accord, while carnation absolute and jasmine absolute lend a final touch of floral elegance, striking that beautiful, olfactorily satisfying perfect cadence. Layered atop the opulent, mesmerizing heart is a vibrant trio of Japanese fruits that enrich the golden city’s portrait: Yuzu from Kōchi, Mikan from Ehime, and Fuyu Kaki persimmon from Gifu. The zesty brightness of yuzu, paired with the sweet, gently floral nuances of mikan and the honeyed depth of Fuyu persimmon, creates a luminous and inviting overture to the composition.
As the composition unfolds, a foundation of rare and precious vintage natural materials begins to emerge. At its core lies a highlight of remarkable distinction: a specially curated, 30-year-aged vintage Kiso hinoki oil. Distilled exclusively from the heartwood of wild, mature hinoki trees of several hundred years in age sourced from Japan’s revered Kiso Valley which is home to the country’s most prized hinoki, this extraordinary oil from the previous century possesses a depth and refinement that the current conventional, younger, twig or branch-distilled hinoki oils simply cannot rival. Aged for three decades, it exudes a deeply rich, woody, resinous warmth with subtle notes of supple leather that conjures vivid imagery of Japanese ancient shrines and golden-gilded castles, harmonizing seamlessly with the opulent heart to evoke a majestic, gold-hued landscape of the “Miyako” city. Alongside the vintage hinoki is a 20-year-aged Yoshino Sugi cedar oil, sourced from the forests of Yoshino in Nara Prefecture. Yoshino Sugi, a prized variety of Japanese cedar, is traditionally used to craft the wooden barrels for “taru sake”, which is a ceremonial style of sake infused with the wood’s distinctive aroma. This aged cedar oil lends a deep, smooth, and creamy woody richness to the composition, further grounding it in the lasting heritage of Japanese craftsmanship and tradition. Joining this glorious accord is a 20-year-aged patchouli oil that is superbly full-bodied, well-rounded, and deeply rich, with intriguing undertones of toffee and dark chocolate. It strikes a perfect chord with Mysore sandalwood and the other noble woods, adding a layer of luxurious and lasting richness.
As the composition reaches its final movement, a selection of precious and refined materials emerges to complete this olfactory work. At its heart is an extraordinary orris absolute, boasting over 80% irone content, imbuing the scent with a velvety, opulent elegance that is both regal and hauntingly beautiful. Heliotrope flower and amber contribute a creamy, ethereal softness, lending a dreamlike glow to the base. Deepening the composition further is a meticulously balanced accord of finely-aged natural animalic materials: civet, castoreum, ambergris, and musk. These elements impart a warm, smooth, and cuddly sensuality that seamlessly weaves through the overall scent composition and gently cocoons the entire creation in an intimate and comforting aura. Launched exactly ten years after the debut of Miyako, which is part of our very first olfactory collection, Konjiki No Miyako stands as a tribute to the journey we have undertaken over the past decade. A journey marked not only by expanded access to rare and exceptional materials, but more profoundly by the refinement of our blending techniques, evolving aesthetics, and a continually deepened sense of perfumery artistry. Konjiki No Miyako is highly recommended for perfume lovers who resonate with our distinctive style and for those who appreciate the thoughtful craftsmanship behind each creation.
Due to the nature and quality of the raw materials used, the scent will continue to age beautifully in the bottle with time when properly stored. It is normal to have some sediments/separations in this scent due to the nature of the raw materials used. Just gently shake well before applying it.
