I feel I have been here long enough to know what smells distinctly ‘Japanese’: and Tender Peach, a warm and inviting, fresh musky liquid body soap kind of scent that is immediately familiar to me from those that surround (floral, clean peach skin, deeper sandalwood – it reminds me of the entrances to rotenburo onsen/hotsprings, wearing it I feel rather relaxed) most definitely fits into this category.
On A Cloud, the most recent release from the Tokyo based outfit, is also cool and semi-relaxing but also a little odd ( J – Scent does like to experiment and has some unusual perfumes on its roster ): this is a sugared, minty cloud with notes of fresh peppermint, vanilla and ‘milk’ – the effect akin to enjoying those beige coloured butterscotch mints I used to enjoy at my grandparents’ house but whose name, at this moment, elude me. I have semi-considered getting this one — but when would you wear it?
Another well made item in the J Scent I am currently half stalking is Cafe, which matches a rich, adult lady orange blossom a la original Jean Paul Gaultier (‘Classique’ to some of you) with a rather daring heart note of coffee. The effect is peculiar but magnetic: rich; erotically mellow. ‘Tastefully bold’, you might say. Mmmm….
I wonder what they have in store for us with their next release, Holy Animal ?
The Black Narcissus 
Mint and milk… sounds like an odd combination. Might work for summertime?
It kind of works ! But yes … could be a soothing in a bizarre way ( I am definitely considering getting it )
Can you buy J-Scent products online?
I think they have an international website, yes. They are warm and simple yet a bit edgy at the same time.
