KITA
Ascent [North]
Subject — Asagimadara Butterfly
Perfumer — Mark Buxton
Medium — Ecology
Status — Available
The Asagimadara butterfly migrates 2,000 kilometers across Japan, navigating toward destinations programmed into its body but unknown to its individual consciousness. Created for an exhibition on ecological preservation in Kyoto (2025), Kita captures the ascent from frozen Hokkaido — crisp air, volcanic earth, pine forests lifting toward inherited memory. A butterfly begins a journey it will not complete, carrying coordinates for a place it has never seen.

cypress, cedrat, cedar leaf, bergamot, frozen water accord, frozen grapefruit, mate oil, pine needle oil, cedarwood atlas, incense, sandalwood, musk, driftwood
