Explore the Unique Popup Experience of MY ONLY FRAGRANCE in Nagoya

Starting from September 19 to September 23, 2026, the renowned bespoke fragrance shop, MY ONLY FRAGRANCE, will host a unique limited-time popup store at Hands Nagoya. This event marks the culmination of previous popups at the same location, coinciding with the announcement that the Hands Nagoya store will close its doors on January 11, 2027.

MY ONLY FRAGRANCE, which is operated by the Kyoto-based company, Fragrance Project Inc., aims to offer a one-of-a-kind experience for fragrance lovers. The popup is a continuation of their engagement with the community, where they've previously conducted multiple pop-up events, warmly welcomed by customers eager to craft their personalized scents. To express gratitude for these meaningful encounters, the popup will feature an exclusive fragrance called "YOKOU," celebrating the bonds formed over shared experiences.

In addition to creating bespoke fragrances, attendees who purchase over 8,000 yen at the venue, as well as those who pre-register, can participate in a special 'Scent Lottery' for a chance to win delightful surprises. This initiative is set to enhance the overall experience of every visitor. You can find more details on the popup special website.

Create Your Signature Scent

The Hands Nagoya store, which opened its doors in March 2000, is strategically located within the JR Nagoya Takashimaya department store, making it a convenient destination for travelers in this bustling hub of shopping and leisure activities. MY ONLY FRAGRANCE values the process of scent creation, encouraging patrons not just to enjoy the finished perfume but also to engage in the journey of selecting and crafting their fragrances through exploration of their senses.

As the closing of the Hands Nagoya store approaches, this popup offers both a nostalgic reunion for return visitors and an exciting opportunity for newcomers to dive into the art of fragrance making. The essence of gratitude that MY ONLY FRAGRANCE wishes to convey is beautifully encapsulated in the limited fragrance, "YOKOU."

The Exclusive Fragrance: "YOKOU"

The fragrance "YOKOU" has been crafted as a heartfelt tribute to the supportive staff and the loyal customers at Hands Nagoya. This unique scent embodies feelings of appreciation and love, symbolized through soft, warm floral notes such as carnation and rose. To capture the spirit of the Hands store, it includes green accents that evoke a fresh and revitalizing sensation.

The top notes are characterized by the brightness of red apple and the lushness of bitter orange leaves. As the fragrance develops, the middle notes of carnation, rose, and osmanthus blossom into a rich, floral bouquet that conveys a sense of gratitude. Finally, the base notes incorporate the calming depth of leather and suede, leaving a lingering memory of cherished moments and experiences crafted at the store, even after its closing.

Pricing: 10ml for 3,000 yen, 50ml for 6,500 yen, and 100ml for 8,000 yen (tax included).

Special Scent Lottery Event

During this popup period, customers who spend over 8,000 yen or those who make a prior reservation can participate in a thrilling scent lottery. Each customer with a reservation will enjoy one free lottery entry per purchase made, allowing them the chance to win a randomly selected 3ml fragrance from four available types, one of which remains a secret until opened. This lottery adds an element of excitement, allowing patrons to discover new scents that they might not typically choose.

Bespoke Fragrance Experience

MY ONLY FRAGRANCE invites you to create a personal fragrance by mixing several pre-selected scents, allowing you to engage in the entire process of crafting your signature scent. Here's how the experience unfolds:
1. Selecting Scents: Choose from a variety of seasonal fragrances available in-store, including unique aromas that reflect Japanese culture.
2. Testing Scents: Spray your chosen aromas on muets (fragrance strips) to evaluate how they fit your preferences and ideas.
3. Blending: Work alongside fragrance advisors to adjust and balance your mixtures, ensuring your fragrance suits your style perfectly.
