Introducing MY ONLY FRAGRANCE in Hiroshima
For the first time, MY ONLY FRAGRANCE will host a temporary pop-up store at Hiroshima PARCO from September 18 to September 27, 2026. Originating from Kyoto, this bespoke fragrance brand allows visitors to create their unique scents through interaction with fragrance advisors. Additionally, a special fragrance named "Yūbae," inspired by memories of Hiroshima, will be available.
The Experience
As Hiroshima city is known as "the city of water" with its six rivers flowing through, rich greenery, history, and culture are part of daily life. This pop-up will be held at Hiroshima PARCO, a pivotal commercial facility where fashion, culture, and diverse sensibilities converge, situated at the intersection of the main streets, Hondōri and Kanazagai.
MY ONLY FRAGRANCE firmly believes that the process of choosing a scent and articulating one's feelings is just as vital as the finished product. During this pop-up, customers will have the chance to experience the creation of their very own fragrance, uniquely tailored to their taste. This is a wonderful opportunity for local residents in Hiroshima to engage with their senses and take home a piece of their fragrance journey.
Introducing the Exclusive Fragrance "Yūbae"
A highlight of the pop-up will be the exclusive availability of the fragrance "Yūbae," crafted based on memories from Hiroshima discovered by fragrance advisors during their visit a year prior. The scent is a nuanced blend reflecting the city’s natural beauty—its landscapes filled with water and greenery—along with the historical cultural vibrance that characterizes Hiroshima. As the season transitions from summer to autumn in late September, "Yūbae" embodies the soft colors of dusk, offering a gentle sweetness that is balanced yet captivating, reminiscent of the twilight ambiance in Hiroshima.

Special Release of Kyoto's Limited Fragrances
In addition to "Yūbae," three limited fragrances from Kyoto, namely "Koto," "Miyabi," and "Aoi Arashi," will be available exclusively at the pop-up—products typically only found at the brand's Kyoto stores. Attendees will thus have the chance to travel through scent without leaving Hiroshima.
Gift with Purchase Promotion
Customers who purchase items totaling over 7,500 JPY during the event will receive a limited 3ml bottle of the Kyoto-only fragrance "Koto". This scent evokes the early morning streets leading to Kiyomizu-dera, filled with florals and incense, making it a perfect addition to your fragrance collection.
