I can’t add anything more to my review of Dame. I bought a mini version since I hadn’t tried it before. It has a soapy touch, like the cleanliness Dame mentions. It smells of plant-based freshness and comfort, and it’s unisex. It’s very delicate and captures that Japanese essence of simplicity, humility, and honesty, in harmony with nature and a love for the subtle. To me, it reminds me more of delicate Japanese paper than sumi-e painting, because nothing stands out like a bold ink stroke. It makes me think of those papers of infinite delicacy sold in Japan; if anyone has seen them, they’ll understand. I think you can find something similar today, perhaps without quite the same subtlety or that elegant packaging that rejects all artifice.
