About This Collection - このコレクションについて

For centuries and all over the world, abide by the people praying in anguishes and agonies have always been hundreds of natural incenses and fragrances.

There are several places on earth which are deemed as "sacred" with ultimate respect by a number of people for a long time. We, the Tribe of Olfaction, sincerely wish to share the experiences and feelings with the most impressive scents of each place, in selecting and blending 100% natural ingredients by our blending staff who has actually visited those places for years and piled up a bundle of sketches of the scents actually felt there, or inspired by the rich cultural heritages still living in the landscape made of buildings, gardens or paintings, and in the people's way of living who gather there.

Now the prayers of humanity are in evermore resonance, some of them spreads worldwide in the speed of light literally through the webs of glassfiber-cables or transmitted by satellites in orbit thousands of miles above us, while some of them suppressed away by someone else beyond the fabricated smiles.

As we can see the stars in the night and not under the sun, only in the deep darkness of solitude might we be free from every kind of visible or audible differences like races, languages, nationalities and creeds that makes us feel desperately diverse and divided in daily life. So please open the lid on your palm and close your eyes to listen to the distant voices of prayers, of whom shares the scent as well as the millions of sorrows and hopes, like we share far more of codes on DNAs as the same specie than minute differences.

数百年、あるいは数千年もの間、人々がこの世界のどこかで、耐えがたい不安や悲しみ からの救いのための祈りや、あるいは願いが叶って喜びと感謝に満ちた祈りをささげようとするとき、そこにはいつも何かしらの「香り」がありました。その祈りは今もまだ、私たちの遠くやちかくで、今も途絶えることなく続いています。

私たちザ・トライブ・オブ・オルファクションのブレンディング・スタッフは、実際に数々の「聖地」を訪ね歩きながらひとつずつ香りを取材し、現在手に入る天然の精油や樹脂などをベースにさまざまに工夫しながらブレンドに挑戦しました。

＜いま・ここ＞にいるあなたを、あなたと同じあこがれや悲しみの中にある＜いまではない・ここではない＞ところにいる誰かへと、時間と場所を越えてそっと結びつけてくれる、手のひらの上の小さなステンレスジャーのなかの香りの数々。ご期待ください。
