Studio Ghibli-inspired scents from Kiki's Delivery Service and other anime movies

Studio Ghibli is popular for its captivating and high-quality filmmaking with unique storylines that are a blend of adventure, fantasy, and deep thematic elements that have won the praise of critics and the audience.

The anime studio’s narratives explore character growth, environmental themes, and complex emotions appealing to children and adults.

The first spray is called “Maria Regale” which derives inspiration from Kiki’s Delivery Service- a Studio Ghibli animation film about a 13-year-old Kiki who moves to a seaside town with her cat Jiji to spend a year as per her village tradition for witches in training.

She sets up a flying courier service on learning to control her broomstick and the film features her adventures.

This spray aims to replicate the herbs and flowers found at Kiki’s home and feature notes of Lily of the Valley, jasmine, and pear emanating a sense of comfort as if one is portraying Kiki’s strong character.

The second spray is called "Classic Tea" inspired by the studio's film Whisper of the Heart, which is an honest and heartfelt look into a 14-year-old Shizuku, her friends and family, and how she falls in love.

The film is made of stirring and wonderful moments about an inquisitive young girl.

Whisper of the Heart is a scent featuring amber, yuzu, and black tea. It is a reminiscent scent aiming to portray the books that Shizuku reads.

The third body splash is “White Bouquet” inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle. A story about a young milliner Sophie who gets turned into an elderly woman by a witch. She then encounters Howl, a young wizard, and gets involved in his resistance to fighting for the king.
