Imagine a luxurious sugar sweet―glistening with delicate sparkles, melting like snowflakes on the tongue.
That is the inspiration behind this perfume.
"Wasanbon" refers to a premium traditional Japanese sugar, but in this fragrance, the name also evokes a playful twist:
“Wa sent bon”, a phrase reminiscent of French, meaning “a beautiful scent of Japan.”
Rather than evoking a classically traditional scent, this perfume captures a feminine sweetness, soft and graceful―like the gentle motion of a silk sleeve or a fleeting smile.
The fragrance opens with a sweet and tangy burst of lemon, soon unfolding into the soft, crisp scent of delicate confections.
It is a sweet and gentle perfume that evokes a sense of happiness―soothing not only the wearer, but those nearby as well.
Thanks to the generous use of high-quality orris, the sweetness is never overpowering, but remains airy and refined.

Wasanbon is a premium Japanese sugar, primarily produced in the Shikoku region.
Known for its fine texture and refined sweetness, it’s often used in elegant wagashi (traditional Japanese confections).
Pressed sweets made purely from wasanbon are also called wasanbon, and are appreciated for their melt-in-your-mouth quality and gentle flavor.
In this fragrance, Wasanbon is reimagined―not just as a sweet, but as a delicate, radiant expression of feminine beauty in scent form.
