About KODO
KODO creates atmosphere through scent, design and intention.
We transform spaces into meaningful experiences. Our fragrances do not simply fill a room; they shape how it feels to be in it. We collaborate with brands, hotels, studios and private clients to create elegant, authentic and thoughtful scent environments that leave a lasting impression.
Rooted in Japanese fragrance culture and guided by modern minimal design, KODO stands for clarity, presence, craftsmanship and quiet luxury.
Our vision: to become the leading brand for multisensory spatial design in Asia and Europe not through volume, but through excellence.
