Memory of Japan

I brought Roaliv Ephemeral with me from Tokyo during my trip to Japan. I was looking for the scent that I will always associate with Japan. It captures my experiences with the country and its culture quite accurately.

Roaliv's perfumes are very subtle, with low sillage. Anyone who has been to Japan knows why…

Japanese people are reserved, reliable, appreciate quality, and would never put themselves in the spotlight; such is the reputation of this culture. I can confirm this impression completely without bias.

The perfume is lightly citrusy, very creamy, and the vanilla takes the lead throughout. You can only smell the perfume when you consciously sniff it, and it definitely wouldn’t leave a trail or make the room smell… Strongly scented individuals are hardly found in Japan - perhaps that simply doesn’t belong to this culture?! The perfume is slightly floral, and I imagine sitting peacefully on the Shinkansen while the beautiful nature of Japan passes by.

Very understated yet delicious perfume. Smooth and gentle, you want to snuggle into the scent. Very peaceful, and the longevity is very good.

My objectivity is limited, but the purchase served its purpose; I spray the perfume and travel back to this wonderful country for four weeks.
