Tann Rokka Shares the Wealth with Kisu and a New Line of Scented Candles

Kisu, the new evocative Japanese inspired scent created by famous perfume designer Azzi Pickthall, who designed Agent Provocateur’s signature scent, is both heady and intoxicating with top notes of ylang ylang and rosewood that mix with a rich warm cedar wood and eastern musk base. Undertones of Asiatic Marine notes create a sensual mood that evokes the essence of exotic locales. Weaving a transition from past to present Asian ideals, Kisu embodies sophistication and suits even the most discriminating noses of today.

Channeling ancient Japanese bathing rituals, Kisu is the Japanese word for “kiss”. Previously only available at Tann Rokka, one of London’s hottest lifestyle boutiques, this stunning, elegant fragrance is showcased in an exquisite black bottle with atomizer for a luxurious feel.

Another Tann Rokka treasure is the new scented candle collection, available in nine sleek fragrances. These scents also draw inspiration from Japanese florals, fruits, and woods for an amazing olfactory experience. Handmade with natural beeswax and oils, the candles embody all seasons as well as signature Japanese elements including green tea and jasmine.

Aki (autumn) boasts warm amber, cedar, and sandalwood, while Fuyu (winter) entices with exotic frankincense and myrrh. Haru (summer) highlights the sensuous tuberose and Natsu (spring) is infused with geranium and Japanese rose.

Kisu, the signature Tann Rokka fragrance, echoes the alluring rosewood and ylang-ylang scent of its eau de parfum sister. Ocha (green tea) smells of earth notes with effervescent green tea and Onsen (hot springs) mingles delicate lavender with ylang-ylang. The ultimate in exotic scents, Sakura (cherry blossoms) is sweetened with notes of fig and Tsuki (moon) emits a calming essence of jasmine.

These fragrant accessories come in beautifully understated glass jars with emblazoned with intricate Japanese motifs. Upon lighting the candle, the scent diffuses throughout the room, lacing the air with sweet sophistication. I loved the Fuyu (winter) scent for its heady notes and its ability to transport me to the foreign land of my choice.

Kisu eau de parfum retails for $125, for a 3.4oz. natural spray with atomizer and $75 for 1.70z. natural spray. Tann Rokka candles retail for $58. Both Kisu and Tann Rokka candles are available at Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel, and Aedes de Venustas.
