Folkwinds - Jasper No Kodo 2

Jasper no Kodō II by Folkwinds is a vivid alpine-oud fragrance that smells almost like eating a ripe blackberry in a pine forest: tart, juicy, green, resinous, and cooled by mountain air. Built around blackberry, fir, juniper, hemlock, palo santo, copal, florals, moss, ambergris, and oud, it feels transportive from the first spray — the kind of fragrance that creates a landscape around you rather than simply smelling good.

Available in 2 ml, 5 ml, or 10 ml sizes, it is ideal for discovery, travel, or experiencing the composition before committing to a full bottle.

Jasper no Kodō II makes its character clear immediately. The opening has that beautiful contrast of dark wild blackberry against cold conifer air: juicy and slightly tart, but surrounded by Canadian fir, juniper berries, hemlock, palo santo, and copal that make it feel crisp, forested, and almost glacial. It really does give the impression of biting into a blackberry while standing in a pine forest, with fruit staining the fingers and resin rising through the air. The berry is not sugary or playful here. It feels wild, natural, and sharpened by woods and smoke.

As the fragrance develops, oud and florals begin to smooth the composition without taking away that striking outdoorsy freshness. Agarwood, water lily, gardenia, and jonquille add a softer, more atmospheric heart, giving the scent a floating, misty quality between green forest air and floral depth. In the drydown, pine, agarwood, woodsy notes, moss, and ambergris take over, making the fragrance calmer, deeper, and more meditative. The result is unusual and highly memorable: a fragrance that feels fruity, resinous, and woody at once, but always in a cool, elegant, natural way.

What makes Jasper no Kodō II so compelling is that it captures a very specific sensation with real precision. Many fragrances use berry notes or forest notes, but very few create that exact feeling of juicy blackberry flesh against sharp pine needles, resin, and mountain air. That contrast is what gives it its signature. It feels scenic, artisanal, and genuinely niche — a perfume for someone who wants atmosphere, materials, and character, not just a generic pleasant scent.

Scent Profile

Green, resinous, fruity, cooling, and oudy. Jasper no Kodō II opens with tart blackberry, coniferous air, and sacred-smelling woods, then becomes smoother and more atmospheric as florals and oud emerge. The drydown is mossy, woody, and quietly animalic in feel, with ambergris and pine giving the fragrance a cold, expansive finish.
