Nippon Kodo Fragrance Memories Wake Up – 20 Incense Sticks

Wake Up by Nippon Kodo is a Japanese incense from the former Fragrance Memories collection. This lively fragrance composition combines zesty lime, aromatic bergamot and a delicate hint of pink pepper. The result is a fresh, citrus-forward fragrance with a subtle spicy nuance. Wake Up belongs to the City & Style fragrance range and evokes the beginning of a new day, as the streets of a city slowly come to life.

Lime, bergamot and pink pepper

The fragrance of Fragrance Memories Wake Up is characterised by its bright, airy and not overly sweet character. Three fragrance notes define its profile:

• Lime: a zesty, lively citrus note with pronounced freshness and a pleasantly tart facet.
• Bergamot: a softer, aromatic citrus fragrance that complements the freshness of lime and gives the composition an elegant, slightly fruity note.
• Pink pepper: a delicate, slightly fruity spiciness that provides an interesting contrast to the two citrus notes without making the fragrance sharp or heavy.

Together, these notes create a clear, lively fragrance composition in which the two citrus notes take centre stage. Pink pepper adds a restrained spicy accent and gives the fragrance additional depth. Wake Up therefore feels fresh and dynamic without being excessively sweet or overpowering.

The fragrance notes mentioned describe the olfactory character. They should not be understood as a complete list of ingredients and do not confirm that actual limes, bergamot fruits, pepper berries or their essential oils are used.

Fragrance Memories – the beginning of a new day

With the Fragrance Memories collection, the Japanese manufacturer Nippon Kodo connects different fragrance compositions with places, moods and memories. Wake Up belongs to the City & Style range and evokes the image of a city awakening in the first light of morning.

The fresh citrus notes and gentle spiciness complement this urban atmosphere. Rather than the warm woody and resinous fragrances of traditional Japanese incense sticks, Wake Up focuses on a modern, perfume-like composition.

The version offered here comes from the older, now discontinued generation of the Fragrance Memories series. It differs from the newer products in the collection of the same name and is available only while stocks last.
