■Background of the Project: Seven Years of Connecting Art and People

Over the seven years since its inception, “kahogo. Project” has connected with more than 500 creators through open calls and engaged in a variety of collaborations. As we shared numerous talented works and the stories behind them with the public, we began to wonder, “Can we convey the appeal of art as a more multifaceted sensory experience?”

■ A New Art Experience Presented by “kahogo. Art in a Bottle”

This project is a new initiative born out of our respect for the cherished artworks and creators we have welcomed over the years.

We carefully interpret the scenes, colors, emotions, and stories depicted in a selected artwork, then reconstruct them as a fragrance that encapsulates that worldview through professional perfumery techniques. With just one spray, it offers an unprecedented, immersive art experience—as if the story within the frame resonates with your own memories.

■ First Edition “SHE”: A Fragrance That Introduces You to the “Seven You” in the Painting

The theme of this commemorative first edition is “SHE.”

From the many works we’ve collaborated on to date, we’ve carefully selected seven artworks featuring “women” as their motif. We’ve transformed the delicate emotions and stories depicted in these paintings into seven distinct scents.

[Edition Lineup (7 Varieties Total)]

・You in the Crowd

8:48 a.m. on a weekday. You say you hate how your stride gets smaller amid the city’s hustle and bustle.

You also say that your wrinkle-free suit is a false facade. You haven’t realized your own charm yet.

TOP: Morning Citrus

MIDDLE: Violet, Rose

BASE: Fresh Musk, Sandalwood

雑踏の君

You in the Crowd

・You, Who Has Seen Spring Through

To you who say winter is a lonely season, the spring wind that blows fiercely still carries a trace of that loneliness.

The breath of spring, blooming all at once, transforms into greenery in a single breath. You say that what is fleeting is beautiful.

TOP: Cherry Blossom Petals, Pear

MIDDLE: Jasmine, Peony

BASE: Warm Veil, Soft Amber

春がすみの君

You, bathed in spring

・You in the dappled sunlight

As you read your favorite paperback, the sunlight playfully teases you. Or rather, it’s the fresh greenery and the early summer breeze playing tricks. You set the book aside for a moment and look up. Bathed in the dappled sunlight, you look naturally beautiful, even as the light seems to dazzle you.

TOP: Lemon, Mandarin

MIDDLE: Rose, Green Breeze

BASE: Musk, Green Veil

木漏れ日の君

You in the Sunlight Filtering Through the Trees

・You, Wrapped in Fragrance

You stretch a little beyond your comfort zone to “wrap yourself” in the things you love. You say it’s not about self-expression, but because you want to be strong. May you always be enveloped in love.

TOP: Deep Green, Lemon

MIDDLE: Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine

BASE: Skin Vanilla, Amber

身に纏う君

You, Wrapped in Fragrance

・You, the Dreamer

On mornings when you wake up from a dream of swimming in a sea of freshly melted vanilla, you just can’t seem to get out of bed.

Your dream is to run a soup curry restaurant. You’re a moody soul, sweet and spicy—two sides of the same coin.

TOP: Pink Pepper, Coriander

MIDDLE: Honeysuckle, Rose

BASE: Melted Vanilla, Labdanum

夢見る君

Dreaming You

・You in My Memories

“Don’t go far away.” Those days when I thought that have now, as the years have passed, become beautiful memories.

You used to love cats. I wonder if you still cherish them now that you’re an adult.

TOP: Orange, Memory Bergamot

MIDDLE: Rose, Lily of the Valley, Ylang-Ylang

BASE: Patchouli, Deep Amber

追憶の君

You in My Memories

・You in the Spiral

A spiral staircase leading deep into eyes that seem to draw you in. I still don’t know if I’m going up or down. Drawn by the scent of honey, I follow it further. You never stop.

MIDDLE: Vintage Wine, Rose

BASE: Raspberry Compote
