Message from CEO

Nice to meet you! My name is Kanae Koori, CEO of SceneryScent Inc., a company that produces scented spaces.
The first time I received an offer to create a scented space was in 2012, at an event called “Kobe ART JAM,” which was held as the opening ceremony for the Kobe Design and Creative Center (KIITO).
Kobe ART JAM is sponsored by Akashi Jazz Dance Factory, a well-known jazz dance school in Kansai region, and it began with creating a floral scent at the dance showcase during the event.
At that time, there was no specialized equipment to diffuse scents in large halls, much less there was much thought to incorporating scents into performing arts. We had to start and figure out the way as we proceed with the help of special effect company.
For me, having worked as an aromatherapist for over 10 years, healing the body and mind of individuals through scent, the experience of seeing so many people moved by the scent was extremely stimulating and moving, and I may have been the one who was most moved by it.
After gaining experience in scent production at various events, in February 2017 we decided to fully enter the scent space production business under the name of Scenery Scent.
It is not easy to control the scent (fragrance) in a space. If it is too strong, it is unpleasant, and if it is too weak, it is not noticed. In recent years, the scents of fabric softeners and strong perfumes have become a social problem, with them being called “fragrance pollution” and damaging health. In this day and age, we are constantly thinking about the nature of scents in our daily lives.
We have a wealth of knowledge and experience in using plant scents to provide healing to those who are physically and mentally exhausted or have illnesses, and we consider our top priority to be ensuring that people can enjoy scents safely.
“Scenery Scent” is a coined word that means “scene (scene) + scent (scent).” The logo mark, which depicts a landscape captured in a snow globe, represents “leaving the memory of the nostalgic scenery you saw that day along with the scent.”
We hope that by smelling this fragrance you can recall memories of nostalgic scenery in your mind.
As you know, fragrance culture overseas and Japan’s domestic fragrance culture are very different, but we aim to open up a new field of entertainment called fragrance presentation, while valuing scents unique to Japan and its fragrance culture, rather than being limited to imported fragrances from overseas.
Furthermore, on March 18, 2019, we incorporated our sole proprietorship as a corporation and, with the cooperation of Future Venture Capital Co., Ltd., received start-up funding from Osaka Shinkin Bank.
My goal is to further expand the scent presentation business that I have been running as a private business up until now, to please even more customers, and to become a reliable presence for everyone as scent and fragrance professionals.
