J-Scent Rakugan is an Eau de Parfum. Rakugan opens with Maple, Apple, Apricot, and Strawberry, settles into a heart of Rose, Benzoin, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Iris, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. J-Scent's Rakugan carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. J-Scent Rakugan is a sweet gourmand for those who love their candy-shop vibes, but be warned: it splits opinion right down the middle with its powdery, sometimes 'waxy' or 'plasticky' nuances. You'll either adore its unique sweetness or find it a bit too much.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

J-Scent Rakugan opens with a burst of candied fruit-strawberry, apple, and apricot leading to a maple syrup sweetness. The heart introduces a softer peach and rose, grounded by the warmth of benzoin. It dries down to a comforting, somewhat powdery base of vanilla, tonka bean, and iris, with subtle hints of cedar. It's a journey from candy-floss to a more delicate, sweet confection.
