KIBO-HOPE
In Japanese, Kibo (希望 -kibō) means "hope, wish, or aspiration," symbolizing optimism and belief in the future, derived from characters meaning "desire/rarity" (希) and "to look ahead/wish" (望).
Where I'm from
Located in central Japan, Gifu ceramics are made using high-quality local clay rich in minerals, which gives each piece its natural warmth, subtle colour variations, and durable, earthy character.
Our Curated Scents
Onsen
Experience the calm of a Japanese onsen. Earthy warmth and forest stillness create a deeply soothing escape to Hakone hot springs. Infused with Hinoki essential oil and Australian Northern Sandalwood oil, and citrusy Green Shikuwasa and Lemon Ironbark oils.
Book Forest
A homage to Tadao Ando's Book Forest Osaka Library. Surrounded by tangy green Ume and pink Peonies, the Book Forest captures fruity, woody aromas, and leather notes of Australian Native Blue & White Cypress Wood essential oils.
Sakura Leaf
The hardy leaves of the sakura tree carry a rugged beauty that endures long after the celebrated Cherry Blossoms have fallen. A refreshing green blend where crisp Shiso Leaf & Fig Leaf meets the earthy, resinous depth of Australian Native Mango Myrtle essential oil.
Shinjuku Summer
Warm summer breeze in Shinjuku Gyoen Garden. Sink into the soft, powdery elegance of Tobacco Flower layered with soft, spicy Sansho Pepper & Australian Pink Pepper essential oils.
