Ella K Poeme de Sagano Eau de Parfum

What it smells like

Poème de Sagano captures the towering bamboo grove northwest of Kyoto, where green verticality meets shafts of glancing light. It opens crystalline and bittersweet, with yuzu, bergamot and grapefruit recreating the crisp, cool air of the forest.

The heart is where the poem lives: fresh green bamboo, matcha tea and aromatic shiso leaf, a serene, almost meditative green accord. Underneath, patchouli, cedar and clean musk ground the composition in calm, breathable wood, so the whole scent feels like exhaling in a quiet grove.

Who made it

Every Ella K fragrance is composed by Sonia Constant, a senior perfumer trained at ISIPCA and the Givaudan perfumery school who spent more than two decades creating for one of the world’s most prestigious fragrance houses before founding Ella K in 2017. Widely respected in the industry, she has signed acclaimed compositions for major houses while pursuing, through Ella K, a more intimate and personal form of perfumery. Her signature is refined, cinematic storytelling — each scent is built like a travelogue, translating the light, air and materials of a real place into a composition that feels both couture-polished and quietly emotional, favouring beautiful naturals and modern captives over loud, obvious effects.

Who it’s for

For those who love green, tea-inflected and woody-aromatic fragrances — a refined, unisex choice for people drawn to calm, natural, understated scents rather than loud sweetness.

When to wear it

Ideal in spring and summer and in daytime, when its cool green freshness is most refreshing. It suits office wear and warm afternoons, and works year-round as a serene, mood-settling everyday scent.

About the house

Ella K Parfums is an independent French niche house founded in 2017 by master perfumer Sonia Constant. Its concept is olfactory travel: every fragrance is a postcard from a specific place on Earth — a bay, a garden, a desert, a wind — rendered in fine materials and named to read like an entry from a traveller’s journal. The line spans a Core Collection of far-flung destinations and a more abstract, luxurious “K” Collection, all presented in collectible, artfully labelled bottles. It is offered here at Redolia Perfumery as a full 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
