Orika was born from the meeting of two worlds: the serene, spiritual traditions of Japan and the dynamic, playful energy of New York. Shiori, our founder, grew up surrounded by the calm and mindful practices of Japanese culture. After moving to New York, she was inspired to merge this deep heritage with the city's bold creativity. The result is Orika, a brand that brings together the best of both cultures. The name Orika comes from the Japanese words “ori” meaning “weaving” and “ka” meaning “aroma”—reflecting how our scents are designed to weave together time, place, and emotion.
