Fragrance / 2013Fragrance / 2013Ao by MIKMOI is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Ao was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Michael Coyle. The fragrance features Woody Notes, Ginger, Amyris, Coconut, Tuberose and Spicy Notes. Ao was inspired by the bays lining the Andaman Sea west of Thailand. (Ao—pronounced "ah-oh"—is the Thai word for "bay.") In this fragrance, a balmy breeze carries the seductive scent of tuberose mixed with faraway traces of beach bonfires, signaling an invitation to join in the laughter. Young coconut juice infused with Thai ginger and cool blue plai (a member of the ginger family which grows wild in Thailand) are immersed in a base of warm amyris and richly appointed cade (a member of the juniper family with a woody-smoky and phenolic aroma).Notes: Ginger, Coconut, Tuberose, Plai, Blue Tansy, Amyris (Caribbean Sandalwood), CadeAo is available as a 50 ml eau de parfum.
