Hidden Fragrance Store APFR in Osaka

APFR is a hidden gem in Osaka, founded by Keita Kanazawa in 2011. The brand name originates from German, meaning "a shop for blending spices and herbs," resembling a magical "pharmacy" that offers an imaginative world of fragrances. Located in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, APFR handles everything from blending spices, production, to packaging at its Chiba workshop. It’s not just a fragrance store but a world where you can immerse yourself in unique scents. Each handcrafted fragrance in the store reflects the dedication of skilled artisans. Here, you can experience captivating aromas from around the globe, such as the enchanting scent of 24K Rose. Its top notes feature rose and lily, middle notes include lavender and calendula, and base notes of oakmoss evoke a smoky, mysterious allure. The White Tea fragrance is serene and soothing, inspired by Southeast Asian resort spas, creating a gentle ambiance reminiscent of mountain mist. APFR offers a wide range of fragrance products, including candles, incense sticks, cone incense, reed diffusers, essential oils, room sprays, and wardrobe scent cards. With six main categories and 38 scents already available, there are dozens more in development. The incense sticks are longer than traditional ones, with a burn time of approximately 100 minutes, providing superior stability and lasting diffusion. Packaged in kraft paper boxes with cork stoppers, they effectively preserve the fragrance quality.
