Original Fragrance Line

“Introducing an original fragrance created by the flower shop Fill Flower from Hanakare! Bring a soothing scent to your everyday life.“

The fragrance features the rich, moist scent of exotic flowers such as jasmine and ylang-ylang, enveloping you in floral notes. Gradually, the lovely scent of lily of the valley emerges, and a warm woody aroma adds a calming touch to complete the experience, creating a healing space just for you.

The perfume is available for order at Stellaworth & Team Store. This fragrance is offered in both deluxe and standard editions. Pre-orders are available until October 27, 2024, with shipping scheduled for Tuesday, December.

As with the drama CDs, bonus goods will differ depending on the store where you make your purchase.

Please Note for Overseas Fans: The perfume is only available in Japan. Even if you use a proxy service to purchase it, air shipping perfume is restricted and prohibited by carriers. Sea cargo is an option, but I would not recommend it due to the risk of losing your package. (this is coming from experience with proxy hauling for almost a decade)
