The Ikigai Collection

The Japanese philosophy of Ikigai is a combination of the Japanese words 'iki' (to live) and 'gai' (reason), which together signify "a reason to live." This concept encapsulates the idea of finding joy in life through purpose in a unique way. It blends four fundamental elements: what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.

Creating a holistic olfactive experience

The Ikigai collection draws from the structure of Ikigai, at the heart of the fragrance collection. To this end, Iberchem presents four primary fragrances, each of which represents the four essential components of the philosophy.

By layering these four fragrances, a further set of four unique sub-fragrances is created, aligning with the four sub-elements of the Ikigai diagram. Together, these layers evoke the deep connection to “your reason to live” that the Ikigai concept encapsulates, creating a holistic olfactive experience that inspires a journey towards self-realization and balance.

THE IKIGAI COLLECTION

This collection has been carefully crafted by the perfumers at Iberchem, including Sandra Lucas, Luz Vaquero, Beatriz Hidalgo, and María Ángeles Santiago. Each perfumer brought their unique interpretation and artistry to the creation of the fragrances.
