Kyoto is full of famous sweets and cute sundries, and it is very difficult to choose the right souvenirs. This time, we would like to introduce a store selling fragrance goods and accessories that are recommended as souvenirs, especially for women. There are many stylish-looking products, and many people appreciate sophisticated souvenirs. We also recommend that you bring the fragrance of Kyoto home with you as a souvenir for yourself.
cotoiro, a store that expresses Kyoto through fragrance
cotoiro is an original brand of Art Labo, which expresses the aesthetic essence of Kyoto, its scenery, its colors, and the changing of the seasons through fragrances, under the theme of Kyoto, the Fragrant City.
Opened in July 2020 on the premises of Rissei Garden Hulic Kyoto, it is based on the philosophy of Art Labo, a Kyoto-based fragrance manufacturer, to provide healing and comfort in people’s lives through the planning, production, and sale of fragrance sundries.
