About Qiyun
In Japan, the word “Qiyun” (気韻) embodies an ancient belief — that all beauty is born from the invisible rhythm of life. It is the resonance of spirit, the subtle harmony between energy (気, Qi) and graceful tone (韻, Yun).
It is the quality that separates the ordinary from the transcendent — the quiet force that makes an experience feel alive. Throughout history, artists, calligraphers, and incense masters sought Qiyun not through perfection, but through presence. A single stroke, a single breath of heated agarwood, could hold an entire world of emotion.
Each creation within Qiyun is shaped with intention — slow, deliberate, and guided by an almost ceremonial respect for rare materials. This pursuit of depth is why Kinamic selected Marius Pana, a perfumer whose mastery of Far Eastern olfactory philosophy and deep understanding of agarwood artistry stands apart. His approach mirrors Kinamic’s belief that a fragrance must not simply smell refined — it must feel alive, carrying spirit, history, and emotional gravity.
Crafted in limited compositions and guided by Kinamic’s devotion to purity, balance, and depth, Qiyun invites you to experience fragrance not as luxury, but as a state of being — a dialogue between the self and the unseen.
Marius Pana
Perfume begins long before the first drop touches a blotter. It begins in silence, in patience, in the slow understanding of materials that have lived longer than memory. This is where Marius Pana works, in the quiet space where scent becomes story.
Since founding Jinkoh Store in 2019, Marius has quietly changed the way people think about artisanal perfumery. His skill with oud, especially, stands apart. He knows the wood as a grower, a distiller, and an artist, which means he can shape it from raw material to final perfume without losing its soul. The result is not just a note of oud, rose, musk or any materials, but the voice of that material itself; textured, alive, and fully dimensional.
Beyond perfumery, Marius possesses a rare mastery of the material itself. He is one of the few artisans who not only composes with oils, but also extracts them, tinctures them, and understands their behavior at a molecular level. This gives his work an uncommon depth.
Marius Pana is not just a perfumer, but someone who protects the soul of the materials he works with, giving them new life every time a bottle is opened, every time someone breathes them in and finds a memory they didn’t know they had.
It is precisely because of this mastery that we chose him for the Qiyun Series. A collection that demands reverence for the material, depth of technique, and the courage to let nature speak for itself.
For us, we found more than a perfumer. We found a partner who could honor the spirit of the series and elevate it.
