This may be weird, but the first time I came to Japan I noticed this smell. Moving back this year I’ve noticed it even more. I know it’s coming off people. It smells similar to things like Sugi or Kusunoki or Akamatsu like a general woody smell. The paper bags in Japan sort of smell similar but less sweet. I want this scent so badly. I have panic attacks and this smell often calms me down along with lavender, and Kinmokusei, so that’s why I wanna try to find it. Is there anyone in the sub who knows what scent am talking about??? Is it a detergent? A candle… an incense… a perfume??? I smell it from PEOPLE and I know I would look weird as hell trying to sniff strangers or asking them what their scent is, but I just want to try to find it. I even made a lady at a perfume shop smell my paper bag from Kaldi and try to explain to her that it smells sort of like this and she literally had no idea what I was talking about. I hope I’m not just crazy and someone out there knows what I may be talking about 🥺
