Personal perfume advice

Sakura by Satori is a woody floral, a very cheerful fragrance!
&#8220;How beautiful the cherry blossoms are, that bloom to the end of the land, as if offering itself to adorn the hair of a beautiful lady or crown an elegant gentleman.&#8221; ~from Manyoshu&#8221;
&nbsp;
Starting from a pale pink floral tone, the powdery sweetness of the soft flower changes into a moist woody fragance. Slightly different from the cherry blossom image of the occident, this pure Japanese fragrance of &#8220;Sakura&#8221; is similar to the traditional scent bag called &#8220;nioi-bukuro&#8221;.

The team of the Perfume Lounge is proud and grateful to be the first in Europe to show and offer the beautiful creations of Satori Osawa. We ship worldwide.
Satori creates original perfumes from an authentic oriental perspective; the delicate eau-de-parfums are praised all-over and are recognizable in their authentic Japanese style and characteristics.

Floral fragrances celebrate the delicious scent of flowers, being the richest source of inspiration for perfumers. 

The use of flowers in perfumes have been used since antiquity; from soft delicate flowers like freesia, muguet and blossoms, to narcotic flowers like jasmine, tuberose and gardenia... 


Enjoy, and smell the roses!

With great honor we met Japanese perfumer Satori Osawa in the spring of 2016. Her authentic perfumes have since been available in Europe, exclusively in our store in Amsterdam. The perfumes from Satori are widely acclaimed for its authentic Japanese style and characteristics. The attention to detail, subtlety, not to mention the high-quality materials make this brand one of a kind.

JAPAN AND SCENT

In Buddhism and Shintoism, fragrances are used during rituals, especially to perfume the rooms. This helps to explain the aversion to heavy perfumes in Japanese culture. In these religions perfuming the body in milder forms became somewhat accepted only later. Due to the often high humidity in the air, light delicate perfumes are by far preferred by Japanese perfume lovers.

AUTHENTIC STYLE

Thanks to her eye for detail and high-quality materials, Satori Osawa's perfumes are widely acclaimed for their authentic Japanese style and characteristics. In the exclusive Chatsubo packaging for the eau-de-parfum Satori, these details are beautifully expressed.

Watch our vlog about four of Satori Osawa's fragrances. Or listen to BNR FD Persoonlijk on Air where Tanja Deurloo talks about Japanese fragrances.

“I want to formulate with my hands, I want to get dirty, to touch and to smell, to really follow my nose and have a much more intimate and primitive relationship with nature." This is the motto perfumer Ernesto Collado lives by. With his honest and unusual fragrances, he creates 100% natural and unfiltered perfumes. By deliberately not filtering the fragrances they preserve their natural aspect. You can see this in small particles in the fragrances, pure nature.

&nbsp;

Ernesto Collado Sala elevates his love for hiking and nature into perfumes, inspired by the smells from nature only. How does a hike through Northern Spain smell like during fall, winter, spring and summer; the forest, the trees, the grass, the flowers, the salty breeze from the sea coast from miles away?

&nbsp;

It is Sala’s mission to capture these smells during his walks into a fragrance. With this he creates 100% natural and unfiltered perfumes. He deliberately does not filter the molecules or ingredients to preserve their natural aspect. Whereas other perfumes are clear (colored) fluid, you can see that there are small particles drifting in Ernesto Collado Sala’s perfume.

&nbsp;

In the series Landscape Scents he captures three places and seasons. CALA, the coast in BOSC, the summer full forest and in MUGA a spring walk along the river of the same name.

&nbsp;

Bravanariz means "brave nose" in Spanish. The subtitle 'smelling wild' captures exactly what the charismatic actor and perfumer Ernesto Collado does. Literally capturing the natural scents of the pristine landscape of north-eastern Spain.

Ernesto Collado Sala has captured our hearts with his charming personality and his love for storytelling.
