LUZ Co, Ltd, founded in 1998, is a Japanese fragrance company with more than 20 years of experience. The creators behind “Team LUZ” include fragrance planners, designers, evaluators, perfumers, directors, and producers, led by Tetsu Amada. The company currently operates three facilities, including a laboratory.
What sets J-Scent apart is their respect for Japanese culture and its delicate expressions. These fragrances are not designed to dominate a room — but to create a presence close to the skin, an intimate scent experience reflecting Japanese refinement and aesthetics.
PHILOSOPHY & CRAFTSMANSHIP
J-Scent works with great care for balance and detail. The perfumes are often clean, tactile, and free from excess — yet there is a playful curiosity that gives each fragrance personality. Many creations draw inspiration from everyday elements and cultural motifs: rice, incense, soap, wood, citrus, flowers. The result is perfumes that feel both modern and deeply rooted in tradition.
The goal is not to impress with power — but to captivate through nuance and depth.
A LOOK AT KEY FRAGRANCES
Among the brand’s most appreciated interpretations of Japanese perfume culture are Agarwood, offering a refined and poetic take on oud; Yuzu, delivering pure citrus freshness with Japanese precision; Sumo Wrestler, exploring the contrast between strength and softness; and Paper Soap, evoking clean, freshly washed skin and soapy clarity.
Together, these fragrances showcase the house’s signature: calm, balance, and harmony with nature and tradition.
THE PROFOUND COLLECTION
With the Profound series, J-Scent goes one step deeper, embracing an exclusive and artistic approach. These fragrances explore emotional and creative expressions — stories told through scent.
Profound blends Japanese poetry with modern perfume structures, each composition reflecting a feeling, a place, or a cultural memory.
Perfumes for true connoisseurs who appreciate scent as an art form rather than simply an accessory.
At Gents, we appreciate J-Scent for its purity of style, authenticity and quality. It's a perfume house for those looking for something subtle, interesting and culturally rooted - with a quiet strength that leaves a lasting impression.
