Celebrating Grandparents' Day with Unique Experiences
As Grandparents' Day approaches on September 15, 2025, the demand for special gifts has risen significantly, and MY ONLY FRAGRANCE is stepping up to meet this need. The Kyoto-based custom fragrance shop has recently reported a record high in the sales of its "Fragrance Mix Experience Gift Tickets" — an innovative way to create personalized scents. According to the company, these tickets, priced at 6,500 yen (including tax), have become the third best-selling item in their official online store by July 2025.
The Gift of Experience
In a society where experiential gifts are becoming increasingly popular, MY ONLY FRAGRANCE offers a unique opportunity for families to come together. Customers can enjoy the services of a fragrance advisor at the store, helping them blend their own scents. Imagine a grandson visiting the store with his grandparents, reminiscing about cherished memories associated with specific fragrances, like the scent of flowers from Grandma's garden or the aroma of the trees lining Grandpa's favorite walking path. These experiences not only create lasting memories but also offer the family a touch of nostalgia that contributes to their bond.
Rankings and Popularity of Gift Tickets
Released in 2024, the Fragrance Mix Experience Gift Tickets have quickly climbed to third place in the cumulative online sales ranking, demonstrating a shift in consumer preferences. Instead of simply gifting a scent, this ticket allows customers to gift the experience of creating a scent, which resonates deeply with many. As the holiday shopping season typically peaks in December, there's a strong belief that the trend of experiential gifting will continue to grow in the future.
