UNISEX

Yuzu • Dorayaki • Benzoin

Yuzu and mandarin rise in a luminous flash, bright as morning light through paper screens. Pink pepper flickers at the edges before the fragrance softens inward, where the dorayaki accord appears as a warm breath of sweetness, delicately toasted, tender rather than edible. It feels less like dessert than memory.
As it unfolds, benzoin and woods create a gentle hush around the composition, smooth and resinous, touched by sandalwood’s calm. The brightness never disappears, it lingers inside the warmth, giving the fragrance a serene tension between radiance and comfort.
Steam rising from porcelain.
A quiet room before the first sip.
The sound of something ancient resonating in the air.
Not a gourmand, but sweetness suspended in light. A fragrance shaped like ritual, where warmth, clarity, and stillness become one.

Quote from the perfumer: “Gong is an invitation to sophisticated indulgence. I have imagined it as a delightful fragrance that captures the essence of Japan with a subtle and sparkling head of mandarin, pink pepper and yuzu. A heartwarming reminiscence emerges with a soft dorayaki spiced with black pepper. GONG is a fresh oriental fragrance, enhanced by a warm, balmy drydown of benzoin and woods.”
