A Unique Aroma Spray Recreating the "Scent of Space"

The scent of outer space is said to be a "sweet, sour, and burnt-like aroma" that astronauts perceive when it volatilizes inside the space station after adhering to their suits upon returning from extravehicular activities. This scent, famously described by astronaut Naoko Yamazaki as "like raspberries," has been recreated by our team led by Takeshi Watanabe, renowned as Japan's leading perfumer, using scientific approaches based on publicly available component information, including ethyl formate. You can feel closer to space through its scent, especially during the Tanabata season when one contemplates the Milky Way and the starry sky.

This scent has been used in various exhibitions, including those related to space experiences. In response to long-standing requests, it was newly released as an aroma spray in June 2026. Since its launch, we have received an overwhelming response from both online and physical stores, with many customers making purchases.

Since its release, social media has been abuzz with comments such as "It really makes you feel like you're in space" and "It's more pleasant than I imagined."
