Rose Essence Gum, And Other Good Thigns

J-List stocks lots of fun products from Japan, and one of our favorites is Fuwarinka, an advanced kind of chewing gum developed by Kanebo (yes, that Kanebo) that contains rose essence, which is supposed to actually make your body smell rosy from the inside out. A similar product is Otoko Kaoru, special aromatic gum designed for men who want to smell nicer. Japan’s recent “rose boom” extended into a surprising area: Kit Kat chocolates, and you can enjoy delicious aromatic chocolate cookies, at least until our stock runs out. Finally, something I positively love in the winter are the BUB fizzing bath tablets, which are a super way to take away the day’s stress using “aroma therapy” (as the Japanese call it).
