Koiame

Opens with citrus and pear about 5 minutes in the rose appears along with other florals, 2 sprays on my neck filled the house my wife says it smells like expensive laundry. It is very clean and surprisingly last a long time all in all I like it a lot.

Koiame starts with pear and apple, floating in a watery mist. The scent is sweet and fresh, light and unassuming, but you can definitely smell the different fruits. I like that they’re not overly sweet, the apple has a green crunch to it and the pear just a hint of buttery warmth. There’s a hint of shampoo bubbles too, but it’s mild. In fact the whole perfume is mild, as most J Scents are, but it still delivers a complex set of notes and stages. From the shampoo apple open we move into a more floral heart. There’s a transparent and slightly spicy pink rose, set off by musky jasmine. For the most part these are wisps of flowers, floating through the ether. Nothing intrudes, or shouts, it’s all very delicate and mild mannered. What I really enjoyed though is that occasionally I would get puffs of a more dense and satiny pink rose rising up into the air around me. At around the 4 hour mark Koiame dries down into a true skin scent, a floral tinged musk.

Koiame (Love Rain) reminds me of cheap shower gels from the 2000s. I'm a big fan of shower gel scents, so I like this one. It has pretty good lasting power. I'm still smelling it on skin and clothes over 4 hours later. Starts off very fruity, and becomes a bit more floral with time, but retains a watery/fresh/fruity character for the entire wear. This one is more in the water lily category rather than the sweet-fruity shower gel category (Liis Studied, Phlur Mood Ring). Very safe-for-work, mild-mannered, and Japanese in style. This one will be hit-or-miss because it's a very nostalgic scent. Likely to either be associated with fresh, relaxing shower memories or just come off as cheap and boring. Recommend sampling for lovers of: shower gel fresh watery scents fruity-florals

Watery, fruity, citrus musk. I just wish it projected a bit better and lasted longer. I find after the first spray it's almost gone an hour later... maybe that's part of the appeal and what makes it feel so delicate, quiet and classy? Not sure. very pretty and I love it, definitely something I often reach for when I go to the office or any quiet space where I know there won't be too much going on to overpower this scent. I wouldn't repurchase however, due to the poor longevity, but it sure is worth a sniff.

the initial spray is quite green, but the rose is surprisingly prominent after a couple of minutes. i don't really get fruit at all like it's soooo floral (albeit a very clean and fresh floral, i agree with the shampoo comparisons). the concept is cute and it's kiiiinda reflected in the scent? like if you close your eyes and think about it lol. overall safe and pleasant, but tbh i can barely smell it which is not the case for the people around me (made the unfortunate mistake of overspraying)
