No ambroxide or musk, but all iris
This is the final review of J-Scent.
One word: Hmm, I recommend Parfum Satori's "Wasanbon | Parfum Satori".
At first, it smells like sandalwood incense burning in a room where you're eating custard pudding. It's a bit nostalgic, like eating a hard department store pudding at grandma's house as a year-end gift...
It doesn't smell like rakugan at all. So far so good.I'd like to suggest that J-Scent should make Japanese gourmand. I feel like they're forcing the floral scents. It's not because I like gourmand, but I think that's more interesting.Matcha, strawberry daifuku, kinako mochi, amazake...etc. Rakugan does have a slightly powdery scent. I wonder if it has iris in it? It has a cold, inorganic atmosphere like sugar candy. I don't feel any fruit in the top notes. This is very similar to Satori's Wasanbon, but Satori seems to use better fragrances.
In summary, it is a sweet, cold iris scent. It lasts for about 3 hours. It's not cloying, but it's an imitation of Parfum Satori, so I'm not interested. Of course, there is a price difference, but Satori is more beautiful.
Background
Rakugan is a sugar confectionery made by mixing sugar with grains such as rice and soybeans and starch syrup, and pressing it into a mold. I mentioned this in my blog. It is a dried confectionery that was introduced from China during the Muromachi period. Rakugan is not a delicious sweet to eat, but rather something to enjoy the atmosphere, and Japanese people don't eat it on a daily basis. There are probably some people who have never eaten it. I personally think that they should have made strawberry daifuku or matcha to suit modern times. It is more familiar to Japanese people, and it overlaps with Parfum Satori, so I think it would have been better to differentiate it.
