Camellia oil, pressed from seeds native to Japan’s Ōshima Island, delivers essential fatty acids that help reinforce hair structure and restore natural luster. Sage leaf water provides purifying and calming properties, supporting scalp health and long-term hair resilience.
Lightly fragranced with the signature Takamichi composition, originally developed for Nine Orchard and experienced throughout the hotel’s guest rooms and spaces. Fresh, green, and quietly persistent.

DETAILS
Directions: After shampooing, gently squeeze excess water from hair. Apply conditioner from roots to ends and leave for two minutes before rinsing.
From Takamichi’s chair: Thoroughly towel-dry hair before applying conditioner. Removing excess water allows the formula to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.

THE BRAND
Takamichi is the in-house scent house founded by New York hairstylist Takamichi Saeki. Developed through decades of hands-on work with clients, each composition begins as an atmosphere—translated into candle, room spray, or body and hair care depending on its natural form.
One of the original fragrances was created in collaboration with Nine Orchard, where it lives throughout the hotel. Others exist only as candlelight. Together, they form a growing olfactive library designed to bring clarity, calm, and quiet presence to both space and self.
Takamichi has been featured in The New York Times.
