CAPSULE COLLECTION - KAKIGORI
Everything is fleeting and beautiful ― an homage dedicated to that single moment.
ABOUT
A rich gourmand syrup of milky caramel
From the KAKIGORI (shaved ice) scent collection, Dulce de Leche expresses a gourmand syrup poured over shaved ice.
A warm gourmand full of rich, condensed-milk-like milkiness and the sweetness of caramel sauce.
Creamy nuances of hazelnut and sesame seem to add an even richer sweetness.
It's a scent that makes you exclaim "Now this is a gourmand perfume!" and smile, imagining something sweet and delicious.
Layering the clean, light, ice-inspired White Crush with the sweet, heavy Dulce de Leche, two contrasting scents, you get sweetness with lightness, feel the best of each, and widen the occasions to wear them.
Story
KAKIGORI
All is fleeting and beautiful: a homage to that single moment
OBVIOUS turned to Japan, the "Land of the Rising Sun", and in particular to the culture of kakigori: snow from Mount Fuji was once carefully gathered to cool the upper classes in summer. Finely shaved natural ice topped with fruit, tea, syrup or condensed milk, this fleeting, poetic sweet is the very symbol of passing beauty.
Through OBVIOUS's unique, bold challenge of reinterpreting kakigori as scent, three fragrances were born, beautiful alone or layered. Like a kakigori you taste through scent, each has its own character, and layering them creates new expressions: a new olfactory sensation.
OBVIOUS's KAKIGORI leads us into a sensual world of scent like no other.
Dulce de Leche takes its inspiration from dulce de leche, a traditional Latin American sweet.
An enveloping scent in which milk and sugar slowly melt together, sweetness and sensuality spreading as if in a quiet dance.
Nuts, cardamom, sesame, vanilla, sandalwood. Layers woven from graceful materials speak to those who seek delicacy and refinement.
Delightful combination - a harmony of scent that shines when layered:
Layered with White Crush, the shaved ice gains a creamy richness, and a scent is born where the transparency of flowers meets gourmand warmth.
Two contrasting personalities set each other off, evolving into a deep, three-dimensional scent. Over time, White Crush's floral glow melts into Dulce de Leche's mellow sweetness, leaving a refined, airy trail.

The culture of “kakigori” (shaved ice) is said to have begun when snow from Mount Fuji was carefully gathered to bring a cool touch to the summers of the upper classes.
Delicately shaved natural ice, layered with fruit, tea, syrup or condensed milk: this fleeting, poetic sweet is truly a symbol of transient beauty.
For this unique and bold challenge of reinterpreting kakigori as a fragrance,
OBVIOUS partnered with IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances), known as a high-quality fragrance house.
As more and more perfume lovers enjoy layering, we developed three scents that are beautiful on their own and in combination.
Like kakigori you taste with your nose, each one has its own character, and layering them creates a new sense of smell with new expressions.
OBVIOUS's “Kakigori” offers an olfactory experience of a sensuality found nowhere else.
White Crush, inspired by “ice,” and Plum Cream and Dulce de Leche, which express the “syrup” poured over the ice, are each designed to be worn alone, or layered like ice and syrup in kakigori.
Try various proportions and enjoy the kakigori you like best.
