Hinoki, the Japanese cypress Chamaecyparis obtusa, is the pale, fine-grained wood of temples, shrines and deep traditional bathtubs, prized for resisting rot as much as for its scent. That scent is clean and lemony over a soft, resinous woodiness, somewhere between Mediterranean cypress and fresh-cut pine, and hot water releases it, which is why a hinoki bath smells of it so strongly.
