The Magic Of The Aman Tokyo Hotel 

Tokyo is an ancient, vibrant citadel that dates back to when it was known as a small, fishing village named Edo.

It served as the de facto political seat of the Japanese shogunate until 1868 when it became the imperial capital.

Today, it is a prosperous titan and cultural matrix for over one million residents, and in its heart, stands the quintessence of urban synergy; namely; The Aman Hotel. 

Opened in 2014 and inspired by Japanese design, this spectacular monument to tradition fused with an ambiance of profound serenity is situated on the top six floors of the Otemachi Tower.

The hotel boasts 84 rooms and suites and features exquisite views of the Imperial Palace Gardens.

The Aman Tokyo’s Haru Fragrance

Meaning ‘spring’ in Japanese, the blooming redolence and harmony of fragile florals, green tea and musky and fruity elements all sail on gentle winds that fuse with the heart of a Tokyo springtime adventure.

Haru connects to the hotel in a myriad of subtle ways, not the least of which is its molding into memory the city’s classical traditions with the sophistication of modern amenities and over-the-top services.

This unique duality is derived from the quiet, redolent renewal of cherry blossoms and the shining skyscrapers that entwine this one-of-a-kind metropolis.

Its appeal is engaging and unisex, and our No 1065 is directly inspired by this exquisite fragrance.

Its sustainable formulation, which is free of phthalates, animal testing and parabens, transports to places far away from the maddening dust and bustle of urban life.

The Timeless Appeal of Green Scents

The timeless allure of fresh cut green grass has been a universal symbol of the essence of nature and renewal since the beginning of time .Green is the color of life and the eternal emblem of spring and rejuvenation.

This family is known for fragrances that are simple and pure, yet sophisticated. They uplift the human spirit as it meshes into a splendid fusion with the eternal elements of Mother Earth.

They are fresh, airy, grounding and crisp rather than powdery and sweet.

There are variations within the family that interlace floral notes like: intense jasmine; dreamy, red rose; tranquil green tea and herbal accents like woody rosemary or cool mint.

Perfumer’s Notes - Duplicating The Aman Tokyo Green Scent

Our perfumers devoted extensive lab time to faithfully recreating Aman Tokyo’s signature Haru, a blend we’ve labelled as No. 1065.

The aim was never mere imitation, but to preserve the original’s luminous restraint, transparency, and emotional resonance as closely as possible—adapted perfectly for home diffusion.

The fragrance opens with bright, zesty bergamot and herbal basil, gently sweetened by juicy apricot—evoking the crisp, invigorating breath of Tokyo spring. This top accord feels fresh and sunlit, never heavy.

In the heart, smooth green tea takes center stage, flanked by delicate jasmine, lily of the valley, and dewy water lily.

These translucent floral-aquatic notes deliver the signature Zen-like serenity: light, energizing, and harmonious, instantly recalling sakura-scented breezes drifting through city parks.

The dry-down anchors everything with clean, velvety musks warmed by subtle tobacco-like maté tones, while creamy sandalwood and raspberry-tinged iris lend soft texture and depth.

The result is sensual yet profoundly calming—a perfect balance of airy freshness and grounding warmth.

To match this fidelity, we carefully sourced naturals and synthetics for the exact clarity of the green tea, the non-cloying apricot nuance, and the seamless, non-animalic musk veil.

No heavy aldehydes or synthetic excess—just youthful luminosity that honors Japanese traditions of zen and ikebana.

Our version mirrors the original closely: crisp cut grass, complex bergamot, soft apricot → dewy water lily, smooth green tea, spicy basil → creamy sandalwood, iris, passionate musk.

It transports you to that serene sanctuary atop Otemachi Tower, where spring renewal meets timeless calm.

Users call it delicate, heavenly, calming, and addictive—echoing the original’s quiet magic. For us, it’s a heartfelt tribute, bottled for your everyday escape.
