Japanese Night

Japanese Night by uka is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Japanese Night was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Gilles Bertomeu. Top notes are Eucalyptus and Clove; middle note is Frankincense; base notes are Patchouli and Cedarwood. Japanese Night by uka is a unisex fragrance introduced in 2022 as part of the brand’s perfume series. It is presented as a vegan composition based on ethanol derived from organic wheat, with a high proportion of ingredients of natural origin. The scent is built around a warm, smoky character that evokes urban night scenes and the mood of returning to Japan after travel. The narrative behind the fragrance references images of Tokyo at night, music and film, and the atmosphere of sweet whisky and smoke shared in nocturnal city streets. The composition opens with aromatic and spicy facets of clove and the cool, camphoraceous tone of eucalyptus. A heart of frankincense adds resinous depth and a slightly meditative quality, leading into a woody base of cedarwood and patchouli. Over time, the fragrance transitions from sharper, spicy notes to a softer, woodier impression, with the interplay of incense and woods giving Japanese Night its smoky and slightly atmospheric character.
