01.June.2021 | ANIME&GAME / FASHION
Japanese fragrance brand FAIRYTAIL released a new collection of perfumes via their online store and Amazon Japan based on the characters Megumi Noda and Shinichi Chiaki from the manga series Nodame Cantabile.
Nodame Cantabile Eau de Parfum – Chiaki

Last Notes: Musk / Vanilla / Patchouli
Nodame Cantabile Eau de Parfum – Nodame
Top Notes: Lemon / Mandarin / Grapefruit / Bergamot / Bitter Orange
Middle Notes: Petitgrain / Cypress / Basil / Rosemary Tunisia
Last Notes: Musk
The Chiaki perfume enjoys a selection of sophisticated top notes like bergamot and rose to capture the qualities of Chiaki, a character with a beautiful face and figure and a sharp mind. Later comes the middle notes of smooth violet and warm musk and vanilla which capture his positivity towards music and his opening up to the people around him, normally being a perfectionist and awkward.
Nodame’s perfume is bright and cheerful like citrus fruits, and that positive vibe can be enjoyed in this fragrance which brings to life her love of music, with carefree cypress and rosemary, and a finishing touch of musk at the end.
Which of these Nodame Cantabile perfumes do you want the most?

“This is Nostalgia Syndrome’s second fragrance release. After mixing together various ingredients, I was finally able to catch the right scent. The theme for this one is ‘travel fragrance.’ Because of COVID, our time spent outdoors has gone down dramatically, but smells tied to our memories make up part of us all. And smelling them brings back those memories. This is a blend of sweet, sophisticated lily and refreshing jasmine, so it’s a really easy one to use that can be enjoyed by both guys and girls. We’re also opening our first pop-up shop so please be sure to drop by to try out!”

SHIRO to Release New Clay Hand Soap Made From Naturally Derived Clay
23.May.2020 | FASHION
Japanese cosmetic brand SHIRO is releasing two new “Clay Hand Soaps” along with three new “Aroma Oils” on May 21, 2020.
The Clay Hand Soap comes in two scents, “White Lily” and “White Tea,” both of which leave your hands feeling clean, refreshed, and moisturised thanks to the naturally-derived clay it is made from. The clay used is obtained from the volcanic ash from the Shirasu-Daichi volcanic plateau of Kagoshima Prefecture. It lightly scrubs any dirt and excess sebum from your hands, ensuring they are nice and clean. The soap is also made with aloe which keeps your hands super smooth.
White Lily has a sophisticated floral scent to it while White Tea smells like fresh citrus and greenery.
About the ingredients
・Clay (Volcanic Ash) [Scrubs] | Origin: Kagoshima Prefecture
Since the clay is naturally-derived, the scrub has big firm pieces in it, so even if you wash your hands lightly all of that dirt and excess sebum is removed, leaving your hands smooth.・Aloe [Moisturises] | Origin: Makinohara, Shizuoka Prefecture
The organic aloe used is grown in-house with the utmost care, with every rich drop squeezed into the soap.The new aroma oils come in conjunction with the brand’s revamp and are perfect for relaxing in your room, while at work, before―basically whenever you need it. There are three scents: “Soap” which has a refreshing soap smell, “White Lily” which has a sophisticated floral smell, and “White Tea” which leaves you feeling relaxed.
Treat yourself to some relaxation time with these new oils and keep your hands clean with some hand soap made from clay!
