Story & Recommendation
Delve into the fantastical world of fragrances at this niche artisanal-fragrance specialist
LE SILLAGE is a niche artisanal-fragrance specialist—a rarity in Japan even today. From Japanese made perfumes to highly artistic niche brands, LE SILLAGE stocks a wide range of fragrances. LE SILLAGE is also still the only store in all of Japan today which not only stocks such a wide array of fragrances but also lets you sit down at the counter and freely try out and choose fragrances at your own pace. At LE SILLAGE, the perfume loving owner—who studied at Ateliers Aromas and Parfums Paris and boasts an expert knowledge of fragrances—offers consultations where he will listen to your perfume preferences and, with a kind hand, will give you a detailed introduction to both the world and story of each fragrance. The name of the store, “SILLAGE” (see-yazh), is a French word that refers to the trail of scent left behind a perfume. The owner chose this name because he hopes that those who come across their perfect scent at the store will, in turn, find happiness and make those around them happy through leaving behind a wonderful sillage. At LE SILLAGE, encounter and experience highly personal fragrances, that will help brighten your everyday.

CIRO
CIRO / 100ml/¥27,000 (Incl. Tax)
CIRO was founded in New York, USA, in the 1920s and was the first ever niche fragrance brand. Up until its temporary closure in the 1960s, CIRO captured the attention of fanatical fragrance lovers with its audacious design and uncompromising quality. In 2018, a collection of six perfumes breathed new life into the CIRO name with its modern spin on the over 100-year-old brand. The refined fragrances—made from the extremely concentrated pure essences of the highest-quality ingredients—are absolutely astounding. From the impressive play on the contrasts of black and white and light and dark, to the beautiful, elegantly curved silhouette and high-class look and feel of the gold-leafed cap, these perfumes are uncompromising on even the smallest details of their design. Whether it be design, fragrance quality, or even originality, CIRO is top of its class in every category.
