On an empty street in a city, a lone tree stands, bare and forlorn. You tenderly stroke the trunk with your hand and then hug it tightly, listening as it whispers of long-passed time. A fog lifts and you look down at your hands, which are covered in the cool, damp feel of moss. Lost Generation is a tone poem in scent, resinous hinoki lightened with grapefruit, deepened with leather.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
For a quiet walk through familiar streets after the daytime bustle has subsided. Grapefruit brings a brief brightness to smoky hinoki and leather, while the mossy undertone suits a reflective mood: attentive to worn stone, bare branches and the traces a city keeps.
How to wear
The smoky woods and resinous base suggest cool autumn days or mild winter weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath a light layer, allowing the citrus opening to give way to the darker woody textures. In warmer conditions, use a lighter application to keep the resin and leather impressions restrained.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to dry woods, smoke and leather textures rather than sweet or floral compositions. Its citrus lift and mossy undertone will appeal to wearers who enjoy naturalistic fragrances with an austere, reflective character.

The nose
Seunghyun Lim is the perfumer behind Circle of Lim. Born in Seoul and dividing her time between the city and Jeju, she draws on an art-world background, travel, gastronomy and encounters with nature. The contrast between urban life and Jeju helped shape her natural-perfumery practice; Lost Generation brings those worlds together through smoky woods, citrus and moss.
Circle of Lim’s story
Circle of Lim connects people with nature through small-batch fragrance and body care. Its approach combines plant-derived perfumery with selected biotechnology ingredients, detailed material disclosure and hands-on production. Restrained packaging and an emphasis on avoiding overproduction extend that philosophy beyond the scent itself.
Lost Generation’s concept
Lost Generation imagines a solitary tree holding memories within an old city’s faded grandeur. Grapefruit and orange give way to smoky fallen leaves and cold, camphoraceous air, before settling into balsamic woods, moss and leather-like textures. Its central image is intimate: a hand against bark, an embrace, and the damp trace of moss left behind.
Extra info
The house discloses a detailed breakdown of the fragrance materials: 93.6% essential oils, 1.6% extracts and absolutes, 1.4% natural isolates and 3.4% biotechnology ingredients. These percentages describe the aromatic materials, not the perfume’s dilution strength. The formula uses sugarcane-derived ethanol.
