Japanese Whiskey

Inspiration
Japanese Whiskey belongs to the Memories of Japan collection and is inspired by a poem by Ōtomo no Tabito, who wishes to drink and enjoy this life and is content to be a bug or a bird in the next. The scent honours the Japanese whisky tradition and was a finalist at the Art and Olfaction Awards 2026.

Fragrance Family
Whiskey and woody

The Olfactive Composition
Main notes: Whiskey, mizunara oak, malted barley, clary sage, sandalwood, chestnut

The Signature of Japanese Whiskey
Whiskey and mizunara oak, the rare Japanese oak used for casks, give a warm, lightly sweet woodiness. Malted barley and chestnut add a roasted, nutty side, while clary sage and sandalwood round the scent off with refinement and creaminess.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
We see Japanese Whiskey as a scent for those who love rich, woody perfumes with a story. On the skin we notice how whiskey and mizunara oak set the tone in the first hour, after which malted barley and clary sage slowly come forward. After several hours mainly sandalwood and chestnut remain, close to the skin and ever more personal. We like to wear it best in autumn and winter, at home and on cool evenings. A scent for lovers of whisky, wood and warm, roasted accents.
