L'Ibasho

Floral almost entirely, L'Ibasho is a 2025 release from Maison de L'Asie, the Singapore house, composed by Antoine Lie. Smaller sweet and woody touches sit at the edges.

Cherry and cherry blossom set the theme: the fruit lightly sweet and almond-like, the blossom airy and pale pink. Turkish rose deepens the floral core with a richer, velvety petal. The more distinctive notes come next. Ink adds a cool, slightly metallic, paper-and-writing-desk accent, while rice, talc and orris root build a soft, powdery, almost cosmetic texture. Patchouli lies quietly underneath, giving the powder a little earthy weight.

Worn by anyone, it suggests spring above all, when cherry blossom feels most at home, and quiet daytime settings such as the office, a gallery or a long lunch. It should appeal to those who enjoy powdery, gently sweet florals with an unexpected, intellectual twist.
