Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Liv.

I'm the founder of KI-OKU, a brand born from a love of fragrance and a deep desire to create meaningful connections. My fascination with scents began in childhood, surrounded by the intoxicating blooms of my great-grandfather's lilac trees. This early experience sparked a lifelong passion for the evocative power of perfume.

KI-OKU, meaning "memory" in Japanese, reflects a vision to create olfactory odes to cherished loved ones. Twice a year we aim to collaborate with members of the KI-OKU community who have experienced loss. Together, we craft limited-edition perfumes that capture the essence of the person they miss. These unique fragrances become a lasting tribute, a whisper of memory on the skin.

But the KI-OKU story extends beyond the perfume itself. I believe that fragrance can be a powerful force for good. That's why all profits from these limited-edition creations are donated to the charity or cause closest to the community member's heart. With every bottle purchased, you not only honor a cherished memory, but also contribute to a cause that matters.

Join us on this olfactory journey of remembrance. Let KI-OKU craft a fragrance that keeps the love alive.
