Tasty scent of delicate Japanese confectionary

 

Rakugan is a beautiful traditional Japanese confectionery made by mixing the starchy flour of rice, beans, buckwheat, and chestnuts with syrup and sugar, then coloring it and pressing it into a wooden mold to harden and dry. This scent captures the subtle mellow sweetness of sugar yet has a fresh and elegant aftertaste, which reminisces the uniqueness of these Japanese sweets. The sweet and soft scent of balsamic and honey creates a tasty savor of this daintily carved, colorful, and delicate traditional sweets known as rakugan from Japan.

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
