Multisensory BIOLITERACY Program with KANSEI Design Limited

We offer programs that invite people to use their five senses to connect with living beings and the Earth, encouraging deeper reflection on the environment.

Bioliteracy is the wisdom needed for all life on Earth to coexist. It can also be seen as a language—one that connects life to life.

Through sensory experiences that foster a sense of closeness to the ocean and nature, participants are gently guided to the realization that all life is interconnected.

This educational program empowers each individual to envision their own idea of coexistence and to turn that vision into small, meaningful actions in their everyday lives.

Perfumer

Blend
Top notes: Orange, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Spearmint
Middle notes: Geranium, Chamomile, Clary Sage
Last notes: Frankincense, Ylang-ylang, Cedarwood

Fragrance Description
A breath of spearmint opens the scent—crisp and clear—like the first breeze over the morning sea.
Then comes a burst of orange, radiant as the sun dancing on the waves, followed by grapefruit and bergamot, capturing the tender warmth of light filtering through water.

Geranium and chamomile paint a vivid world beneath the surface, where life moves freely and joyfully.
Clary sage and frankincense whisper of the ocean’s purity—its sacred, timeless calm.

Anchored by the grounding strength of cedarwood, a gentle trace of ylang ylang lingers—soft and embracing—reminding us that the sea is not cold or distant, but warm, alive, and endlessly kind.
