About this tour
A 30-minute fragrance design session in Kyoto where you work with an advisor to create a custom scent tailored to your preferences. You'll choose an initial fragrance based on instinct, then discuss your desired profile—floral, woody, fresh, or other notes—and the intensity you want. The advisor draws on experience with thousands of previous clients to guide your choices and blend a one-of-a-kind fragrance you'll take home.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the studio and begin by selecting a fragrance based on your immediate instinct rather than overthinking. Once you've made that choice, the advisor will ask targeted questions about what you're drawn to—whether you prefer floral, fresh, woody, or spice notes, and how strong you want the fragrance to be. You'll discuss your image and preferences while the advisor draws on their accumulated knowledge to suggest adjustments and combinations. The session culminates in blending your final custom fragrance, which you'll receive to take away.
The whole process is collaborative rather than prescriptive. The advisor listens to your vision and works through options with you, making adjustments based on your feedback. By the end of 30 minutes, you'll have a completed, personalised fragrance.
