Korean Beauty Brand Kuoca Makes Its Debut
The innovative Korean beauty brand, Kuoca, is ready to make waves with its first-ever appearance at the 'Perfume Summer Festival curated by ISETAN MEN'S'. From July 8 to July 21, 2026, shoppers can visit the ISETAN Shinjuku Men's Building on the first floor for a unique sensory experience.
Founded by Intelcomesi Japan, with a base in Shibuya, Tokyo, Kuoca is a brand influenced by fine dining philosophy, focusing on high-quality cosmetics and fragrances. The founder, Kenji Mameda, aims for products that do not compromise on fragrance, texture, or functionality. Instead of mass production, they craft each item carefully, making them as exquisite as a gourmet dish for skincare enthusiasts.
At the ISETAN Men's event, visitors will be treated to an exclusive preview of three new fragrances, capturing seasonal scents and emotions through unique blends. Their 'MATCHA LATTE EAU DE PARFUM' and 'DARK TEA EAU DE PARFUM' represent the growing trend of tea fragrances—a sophisticated blend of taste and scent.
MATCHA LATTE EAU DE PARFUM
The 'MATCHA LATTE EAU DE PARFUM' is not just a fragrance; it’s a culinary experience encapsulated in a bottle. The scent opens with the refreshing notes of bergamot, clary sage, cardamom, and mint, evoking the idea of a freshly whipped matcha latte. As this fragrance unfolds, a blend of milk and gardenia emerges, enhanced by the warmth of jasmine, while sandalwood and musk linger at the base, leaving a rich and creamy finish.
