Special LP: https://www.tokyu-dept.co.jp/shibuyabeautyjam/specialcontents/2026summer/index.html Tokyu Department Store Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, the Company) will hold the beauty event 'SHIBUYA BEAUTY JAM THE WEEKS - Two Weeks of Fragrance' for 14 days from Thursday, June 4 to Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The event will take place at three beauty area locations in Shibuya: +Q (Plus Ku) Beauty in Shibuya Scramble Square, Shibuya Hikarie ShinQs, and Dress Table by ShinQs Beauty Palette (SHIBUYA109 Shibuya Store 1F), which together comprise approximately 3,690 square meters and about 100 cosmetics and beauty shops. This sixth iteration of the event will focus on the rapidly growing fragrance category. 'KAORIUM,' an AI that verbalizes scents, will be simultaneously introduced at all three locations, proposing a new way to choose fragrances by experiencing a total of 16 brands specially selected for Shibuya. Additionally, a variety of cross-category experiences blending fragrance and makeup will be offered, including an advice session by a SHISEIDO top makeup creator, a 'MAKE-UP STATION' featuring popular makeup brands (with a Face Type Diagnosis®), and a pop-up for the Korean fragrance brand 'POSTES'. Planning Background According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's 'Current Survey of Production,' domestic sales of perfumes and colognes in 2024 increased by approximately 105% year-on-year, setting a record high for the third consecutive year. Interest in 'fragrance as self-expression' is growing, especially among the younger generation. At our three Shibuya locations, fragrance sales in fiscal 2025 grew by 107% year-on-year. In particular, at Shibuya Hikarie ShinQs, where the fragrance zone has been expanded and remodeled since spring 2026, sales in April immediately after the remodel were strong at 118% year-on-year, demonstrating the rising demand for scents. However, for the segment of potential customers who are 'interested in fragrances but don't know how to choose,' we have planned an experiential event based on the concept of 'choosing by your own sense, not by brand.' This event will be an opportunity to fully enjoy the new floor with its expanded lineup of fragrances. Simultaneous Introduction of 'KAORIUM,' an AI that Verbalizes Scents, at Three Shibuya Station Locations 'KAORIUM,' an AI system developed by SCENTMATIC that verbalizes scents, will be the main shared content for this event across the three stores. 'KAORIUM' is a system where the AI deduces the user's preferred scent simply by following a tutorial on a dedicated device with up to 16 fragrance bottles and selecting scents and words. Using emotional words like 'refreshing,' 'transparent,' and 'urban' as clues, users can discover their 'one-of-a-kind scent' in an immersive 4-minute experience, without being influenced by brand names or prices. After the experience, users can take home a 'KAORIUM Card' listing the recommended fragrances. By bringing this card to a shop that carries the fragrance, a beauty advisor can provide more detailed suggestions. Customers can also enjoy shopping right away. ◆ A Special Selection of 16 Brands Exclusive to Shibuya For this 'KAORIUM' experience, a total of 16 fragrance brands have been specially selected for Shibuya from the brands available at +Q (Plus Ku) Beauty, Shibuya Hikarie ShinQs, and Dress Table by ShinQs Beauty Palette. The lineup is extensive, ranging from the latest fragrances from high-end brands to fragrances from cosmetic brands and popular Korean fragrances.
