About The PERFUME OIL FACTORY

The PERFUME OIL FACTORY is a Japanese fragrance brand established in 2012. It makes perfume oils without alcohol or water, blending and producing them by hand. Its collection invites people to choose a scent for an ordinary day as readily as for a special occasion.

History

The brand opened its Ginza flagship store in 2016, four years after its establishment. Its approach joins fragrance with short narratives, giving each numbered oil a story as well as a scent profile. The stories offer another way to find a fragrance beyond starting with an ingredient list.

Philosophy & Signature Style

The brand expresses its aim as bringing colour through scent to days that might otherwise go unnamed. It offers 31 scents so that different moods and situations across a month can have their own choices. The oils are made without alcohol or water, a production choice that distinguishes their format from a conventional alcohol-based spray. The numbered presentation also lets people connect a fragrance with a meaningful date.

Iconic Fragrances

In the STORIES collection, number 23, Kassai no Yukue, places bergamot and lime at the opening and leather at the base. 27 Scenario for the One I Await, moves from lavender and mint toward flowers, fruit and resin. The two show how a shared numbered format can hold markedly different scent ideas. The brand also suggests pairing numbered products to represent a birthday or anniversary date.
