You are invited to an inspiring and heartfelt event—the launch of my long-awaited book, Kotodama of Scent.

Embark on a captivating journey where words and scent intertwine. Kotodama of Scent explores 28 exquisite Japanese words, each evoking beauty, resilience, tranquillity, and mindfulness. These carefully selected words, designed to uplift the soul and guide us towards flourishing, are paired with an essential oil that embodies their profound meaning.

My aspiration in writing this book was to forge a subtle connection between scent and the nurturing kotodama of words, enriching personal growth and well-being. It is also a way to share my deep love and passion for Japan—a spiritually rich culture that nourishes the soul, cultivates awe and reverence for life and nature, and finds joy in simplicity.

We will also launch the Kokoro collection, a collection of five stunning essential oil blends; possibly my best creations ever, that embody the kotodama of my most favourite Japanese words in the book – kokoro, ikigai, kintsugi, natsukashi and wabi sabi.

As Reverend Daiko Matsuyama, Deputy Head Priest of Taizo-in Temple, Kyoto, says:
"Salvatore's ambitious and innovative experiment of combining kotodama with scent is a remarkable endeavour. I hope that through Kotodama of Scent, people around the world can gain a deeper appreciation for the complex and rich worldview that Japan has cultivated."

May Kotodama of Scent be your fragrant journey to the soul of Japan.
