Promotool Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Fragrance Technology Laboratory: Saitama City, Saitama; Representative Director and CEO: Kensuke Ogata; hereinafter 'the Company'), a scent technology company that sciences and designs all kinds of fragrances, announced that sales of its self-manufactured aroma testers expanded to 216.3% year-on-year in February 2026. In addition to the establishment of a production system capable of handling large-lot projects for major corporations, improvements in quality control and delivery responses were highly evaluated, leading to a significant increase in inquiries regarding the production and introduction of scent samples.
Flexible Response to Large-Lot, Short-Turnaround Scent Sample Production. The Reason for Being Chosen is the 'Integrated Production System'
As the demand for scent marketing expands, scent samples, recognized as crucial tools for intuitively conveying a product's fragrance, are required to meet increasingly sophisticated quality and supply system standards year by year. On the other hand, affected by factors like soaring prices, companies are reviewing delivery times, quality, and costs related to their promotions.
The 'fragrance reproducibility and quality', 'speedy response', and 'stable production line' provided by our company have received high praise, especially for large-lot, short-turnaround projects. We have built a production system that consistently handles everything from fragrance blending to manufacturing, equipped with quality control to accurately reproduce the intended scent and an operational foundation that optimizes the process from prototyping to mass production. This establishes a system capable of stably supplying products without compromising quality, even for large-scale and short-turnaround requests that would normally be difficult to accommodate. We believe that this technical backing and the strengthening of our production system have led to trust, boosting the significant growth in sales.
Furthermore, it was announced in February 2026 that the cumulative total of the scent sample 'Aroma Tester' exceeded 11.5 million units, and it has continued to grow continuously in the scent sample market since its launch.

Scent Samples Become 'Essential Infrastructure for Purchase'. Consumer Trends Emphasizing Self-Expression Provide a Tailwind
As scents have become accepted as a means of self-expression, we are transitioning to an era where consumers choose their unique identity through fragrances. Along with this change in values, it is expected that companies will proactively advance product differentiation based on different scents, such as offering multiple fragrance variations within the same product line. The more scent options there are, the greater the need to test the scent before purchasing.
