Shigenobu Twlight

        PROJECTS ABOUT PRESS CONTACT

Shigenobu Twilight is a limited edition handcrafted scent by NY based

artists Anicka Yi and architect Maggie Peng. Package design by Maggie

Peng.

The scent uses three different kinds of cedar wood as its base note,

along with violet leaf and nutty heart notes, and top notes of yuzu, shiso

leaf, and black pepper. The packaging for this hand-distilled fragrance is

made of raw cedar wood, each one uniquely hand-cut in architectural

geometry, encasing a 10ml glass bottle of liquid within.

The fragrance is named after Fusako Shigenobu, former leader of the

Japanese Red Army, who was believed to be living in exile in Lebanon

for many years, hence the choice of cedar wood as a central theme of

this fragrance’s narrative, cedar being highly regarded in Lebanon as a

national emblem.
