Autumn is the season of appetite, art, reading, sports, and so on. There are many words for "autumn of 00," but the best place to go now is around Kyoto. It has all the words for autumn: casual yet delicious restaurants, ancient architecture, unique bookstores, and a town surrounded by mountains called the Kyoto Round Trail.
There are many things you can only encounter in Kyoto, but one more interesting thing has been born. This is the new "OSMANTHUS 19," a new addition to Le Labo's City Exclusive line.
City Exclusive is a series of fragrances created with a city in mind and available only in that city. In Japan, GAIAC 10 is the Tokyo fragrance, which is not available in stores in other cities except in September each year.
The key scent of the newly created Kyoto "OSMANTHUS 19" is osmanthus = golden osmanthus. Incense and lavender at the top, followed by the key scent of creamy magnolia flowers, flowing into woody, resinous tones.

The fragrance, which mixes a relaxing nostalgia with some newness, is like the streets of Kyoto, which embraces newness while retaining its traditions. It also evokes the nostalgia of the people of Kyoto.
It is available in three sizes (15ml, 50ml, and 100ml) and can be purchased at "Le Labo Kyoto Machiya" and "Le Labo Kyoto Shinpukan" stores. It would be good for those who live in Kyoto as well as for those who buy it as a memento of their trip. Scent is linked to people's memories, and it can even evoke memories. Fragrances are linked to people's memories, and they even bring back memories.
