Samurai valued clean beauty.

Hagakure is a book written in the mid-Edo period (1603-1868) that describes the spirit of the samurai from Japan’s past. Famous for its powerful passage, “The samurai’s way is to die," there is also reference to the proper appearance of a samurai:

"Every morning, the samurai of fifty or sixty years ago would bathe, shave their foreheads, put lotion in their hair, cut their fingernails and toenails rubbing them with pumice and then with wood sorrel, and without fail pay attention to their personal appearance. It goes without saying that their armor in general was kept free from rust, that it was dusted, shined, and arranged.
Although it seems that taking special care of one’s appearance is similar to showiness, it is nothing akin to elegance. Even if you are aware that you may be struck down today and are firmly resolved to an inevitable death, if you are slain with an unseemly appearance, you will show your lack of previous resolve, will be despised by your enemy, and will appear unclean. For this reason it is said that both old and young should take care of their appearance. Although you say that this is troublesome and time-consuming, a samurai’s work is in such things. It is neither busy-work nor time-consuming.”

Samurai strove to conduct themselves as samurai from the start of every morning.

Each busy day has value that should not be wasted. We also need to prepare ourselves in the same way as the samurai.

This fragrance, with its notes of noble cypress, is the suitable scent to start the day with resolve.
