Distant Hills in Silence is a meditative, woody-aromatic perfume inspired by twilight on a mountain peak and the quiet whispers of wind through the pines. It opens with resinous frankincense and elemi blended with clean green leaves and clary sage, before shifting into a bright citrus clash of mandarin, bergamot and lemon. Chilly black pepper sharpens the feel, before a mossy and powdery fusion of patchouli and violet lends a cold shadow to the composition.
Perfumer: Maxime Exler
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is the pause after a long walk, when conversation falls away and the air feels sharper. Green leaves and pepper keep the presence alert, while incense and earthy violet give it an inward, composed quality suited to quiet company rather than a crowded room.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the citrus-green contrast and resinous undertones can share the foreground. Begin with one or two sprays on skin; a restrained application keeps the savory herbs and powdery base close. In warmer conditions, use a lighter hand to preserve the crisp impression.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer savory greenery and dry resins to sweetness, and enjoy citrus with an herbal, peppery edge. Its violet-patchouli shadow will appeal to wearers drawn to contemplative woody scents with an earthy, softly powdery finish.
The nose

Zhiwuzhi 挚物志’s story
Zhiwuzhi explores Eastern olfactory aesthetics through modern perfumery and Chinese aromatic traditions. Herbs, woods and botanicals anchor its approach, with an emphasis on distinctive, accessible scents that bring sensory pleasure into everyday life rather than treating perfume solely as a luxury object.
Distant Hills in Silence 远山听寂’s concept
Part of the Mountain Dwelling collection, Distant Hills in Silence evokes a mountain peak at twilight and wind moving through pines. Resinous greenery, bright citrus and pepper give way to an earthy, powdery shadow, translating the landscape into a study of stillness rather than a literal forest portrait.
Extra info
It belongs to the Mountain Dwelling collection alongside Misty Cypress Ash, Jade Bamboo Sonata and Offering to the Moon. The published heart notes include Buddha’s hand, a citrus detail not named in the store description.
