From Scent Skeptic to Visionary Artisan

Our Story

For years, the founder of Kaori thought they had a sensitivity to fragrances. Headaches and discomfort followed every encounter with strong perfumes or heavily scented candles. However, with a deep appreciation for aesthetic harmony, they realized that scent plays a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere of any space.

This sparked an exploration into the world of home fragrances. It quickly became clear that the problem has nothing to do with scent itself, but with artificial, overpowering fragrances. By experimenting with natural ingredients, the founder created soft, refined scents that added to the beauty of any space. This inspired the creation of Kaori, a brand that blends the timeless elegance of Japanese tradition with the progressive spirit of modern design.

At Kaori, the combination of Japan’s cultural heritage and the possibilities of today’s world is at the heart of every product. Influenced by the simplicity and grace of wabi-sabi and other timeless Japanese principles

the brand honors the quality and craftsmanship of the past. At the same time, Kaori embraces modern thinking, each candle and diffuser is crafted to complement spaces, serving as a beautiful accent that enhances decor while elevating the atmosphere.

Each product is more than just a scent or decoration; it’s an experience, connecting the past with the present, designed to make any space feel more special and beautiful.
