Sensitive-skin skincare brand OSAJI is giving its Eau de Parfum lineup a renewal, introducing three new scents designed less for how they read to others and more for how they feel to the person wearing them. The new fragrances carry forward OSAJI's long-standing idea of "comfort that appeals to instinct," while adding a fresh perspective: phytoncides, the compounds released by forest plants, and the relationship between scent and serotonin, a neurotransmitter tied to feelings of happiness.* The result is a set of fragrances meant to accompany a quiet moment of tuning back into one's own senses, away from the noise of everyday information and change.
* Forest scents were incorporated with reference to research on the relationship between scent and serotonin.
Three Perspectives Behind the New Scents
Forest vitality: phytoncides
Phytoncides are the volatile compounds trees release to protect themselves, and the connection between forest bathing and physical and mental healing has drawn attention in various studies. This renewal carries forward the "comfort that appeals to instinct" that the Eau de Parfum has always valued, while adding the new perspective of phytoncides — aiming to deliver, through scent, the same sense of release as stepping into a deep forest even in the middle of a busy day.
A scent for a sense of happiness
A favorite scent can loosen tension or lift the mood the moment it's caught, because scent is closely tied to emotion. That led OSAJI to focus on serotonin, the neurotransmitter linked to happiness and emotional stability. Drawing on this relationship between scent and mind, the brand aimed for fragrances that go beyond simply "smelling nice" to bring a sense of being emotionally at ease.
Forest accord: the "OSAJI Forest"
Four essential oils sourced from Japan's forests — hinoki cypress*1, Japanese cedar branch and leaf*2, kuromoji*3, and hiba*4 — come together in OSAJI's original forest accord. The blue of coniferous branches brushing in the wind, the quiet warmth of dry bark, and a faint sweet bitterness from kuromoji combine to depict a single forest. It's a clear, somewhat nostalgic scent of the Japanese forest that makes you want to breathe deeply, running quietly beneath all three of the new Eau de Parfum scents.
