Traditions from around the world remind us that despite our differences, we are all human. These customs are a way for us to celebrate our past whilst forging a future that embraces the diversity and richness of our world. At MANE, an international company with a 150-year history, traditions and transmission are also a part of our DNA. Our teams of experts incorporate this knowledge in their approach as they endeavour to always create products that respond to customers’ needs.
If we look at Japan, the traditional art of kōdō, literally ‘the way of incense’, and The Tale of Genji, a classic work of 11th-century Japanese literature, both celebrate the art of fragrances in Japan. Kōdō focuses on meditation and scent contemplation, whilst the literary masterpiece weaves captivating stories where scents evoke emotions and character narratives. These treasures immerse us in the world of fragrances and subtle beauty.
Additionally, in modern-day Japanese culture, the Japanese place great importance on hair care and maintaining well-groomed hair. This reflects a traditional Japanese appreciation for cleanliness, discipline, and respect for appearance.
