In 2020, we devised a fragrance to support the 85th Anniversary of the founding of RIHGA Royal Hotel in Osaka. Our starting point was a return to the ethos of 1935, when the hotel opened, with the Japanese mentality of that epoch. The dignified social standing as the hotel, nicknamed the Osaka State House, was rendered in a contemporary scent.

The base aroma combined Japanese cypress with rose, fusing Eastern and Western aesthetics. Added to this were high-quality, woody scents with depth and profundity, such as pachouli and musk. Citrus flavours in bitter orange, mandarin and bergamot are admixed to represent the orange-coloured carpet with foliage patterns used in the hotel lobby.

Fragrance-emitting devices were designed and positioned with reference to the location of ducts, the balance of in and out ventilation, and usage frequency of the entrance doors.

In the same year the fragrance was retailed in the hotel shop as a room aroma.
