Liberta Inc. (TSE Standard: 4935), which develops products that "plan joy and make the world more interesting," will launch a limited series of fabric softeners and fabric mists from its lifestyle fragrance brand "Mellow Charm," produced by Maki Goto in terms of scent and package color. Known as a perfume lover, Ms. Goto meticulously developed a genderless scent for "everyday laundry" that combines freshness with a woody depth. It will be released sequentially at Don Quijote group stores from late June 2026 (※1).
Production Background This project originated from Maki Goto's "life with fragrance" that she has cherished since her teenage years. Ms. Goto, who has enjoyed fragrances in her daily life through perfume collections and regular aroma habits, found that the scent of fabric softener was a familiar presence that naturally blended into her routine of daily laundry. Having previously used Mellow Charm fabric softener, her desire to "deliver a comfortable moment where scent becomes a memory" aligned with the brand's vision, leading to the initiation of this project.
Production Points - Scent: Noble Woody Amber A genderless, mature scent characterized by cleanliness and woody depth. A scent that combines freshness and depth, selected with juniper berry at the top, jasmine in the middle, and sandalwood and amber at the base. The focus was on achieving both "memorable depth" and "excellent diffusion of scent." We aimed for a fragrance that naturally blends into daily life while leaving a lasting impression, from a clean first impression to a soft, sweet lingering scent. Numerous prototypes were made to ensure that families and loved ones would feel a sense of comfort when they encountered the scent.
- Package Color: "Muted Green" conveying cleanliness and nature Instead of the common pinks and purples for fabric softeners, an exquisite "muted green" mixed with white was adopted. This visually expresses the "cleanliness" essential for laundry, clothing, and linens, and the "freshness reminiscent of a forest" characteristic of the scent. By choosing a calm tone that evokes the power of nature, a color that blends with any interior was selected.

Comment from Maki Goto "For me, who does laundry every day, fabric softener is an important presence that naturally accompanies me. I put my wish to deliver a warm moment through scent to all households, regardless of gender or age. I would be happy if this scent gently accompanies everyone's daily lives and someday becomes a memory that remains in their hearts."
