Baruti Perfumes 物の哀れ / Mono No Aware Eau de Parfum  

Mono No Aware by Baruti – A Poetic Expression of Fleeting Beauty. Available at scent amor – your curated online destination for niche fragrance artistry.

The Philosophy of the Scent: "Mono no aware" – Beauty in Transience
Mono No Aware by Baruti is not merely a perfume. It is an emotion. Its name is rooted in a key Japanese aesthetic concept that expresses a quiet, bittersweet awareness of life’s impermanence—an appreciation for the passing moment rather than a resistance to it.

This delicate tension between melancholy and mindfulness served as the foundation for perfumer Spyros Drosopoulos when he created this composition. Mono No Aware is not a loud or attention-seeking scent; it is soft-spoken, deeply evocative, and emotionally layered. A fragrance that whispers rather than shouts, it invites the wearer to slow down and simply be.

The Fragrance Structure: Subtle Japanese Elegance
Top Note:
Cherry Blossom – a soft, floral introduction that vanishes like a fleeting memory

Heart Note:
Matcha Tea – grounded, slightly bitter, earthy and contemplative

Base Notes:
Japanese Cedarwood – dry, woody, serene
Musk – warm, comforting, skin-close

This composition unfolds with intention. The cherry blossom appears and fades quickly, reflecting its natural symbolism of transience. Matcha provides contrast and depth, while the base of cedarwood and musk anchors the scent with warmth and stillness. The result is minimalistic, meditative, and quietly compelling.

The Perfumer: Dr. Spyros Drosopoulos – From Neuroscience to Scent
Spyros Drosopoulos is not your typical perfumer. With a background in neuroscience and experience as a university lecturer, his journey into perfumery is as unconventional as it is fascinating. Driven by a desire to create olfactory art, he founded Baruti in 2015.

Baruti means “gunpowder” in Greek—a name that reflects the explosive originality and emotional charge behind every fragrance. Drosopoulos doesn’t follow trends; he follows his instincts. His compositions are bold yet wearable, cerebral yet sensual.

Mono No Aware was born after he encountered the term in the autobiography of photographer Sally Mann. It resonated with him deeply, and he translated its emotional nuance into scent—an ephemeral yet impactful experience worn on the skin.

About Baruti: The Art of the Unexpected

The brand exists for fragrance lovers who want more than just “nice.” It’s for those who see perfume as identity, as statement, as memory. Mono No Aware fits squarely into this philosophy: elegant, poetic, and unrepeatable.
