Kida Kyo makes perfume of quiet intention: compositions by perfumer Pia Long designed to rest close to the skin rather than announce themselves.
The Six Moments Six Moods Discovery Set brings together six in miniature to explore and find the perfect scent for every ambience.
Begin with Stillness, where white peach and sandalwood settle into a meditative warmth, then lift into the bright, citrus-led clarity of Awakening. Wander through Moonlight’s cool, nocturnal florals before descending into the dark, spice-led depth of Umbral. Ember glows with aromatic woods, and Dulcet closes on a soft, modern sweetness of brown sugar and vanilla. Presented as 2ml vials, the set is made for trying slowly, at your own pace.

Guided by a Japanese sensibility and a De Stijl aesthetic, Kida Kyo fragrances balance clarity and depth, modernity and tradition. Resins, absolutes and distillates contain intricate layers of scent — it's about maturation, subtlety and nuance.
Kida Kyo Perfumer Pia is Finnish-born, and treats scent as a language: a way to translate memory, mood, and imagination into tangible form. With a background in languages, translation and writing, she approaches fragrance as a kind of magical realism - where art, design and science meet to create experiences just beyond the everyday.
