The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Created by Hironobu Kobayashi, Yahwahada (Soft Skin) by J-Scent is a fragrance that marries the delicate sweetness of milk and pear with savory green notes and woody undertones. The opening is fresh and fruity, with pear and green notes that evoke the crispness of early morning dew on leaves. As it settles, the composition reveals layers of jasmine, rose, and sandalwood, creating a warm, enveloping base that feels like soft skin against the touch. It embodies J-Scent's aesthetic sense, blending natural scents into daily life with extraordinary harmony.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance lightly to the pulse points; it blooms gradually over time, revealing its full depth after about an hour. The lactonic notes are particularly close to skin, making it ideal for intimate moments rather than formal settings.
