 As you walk a secluded street that deviates from the minishop district, lured perhaps by the smell of fresh udon, you come across a small gathering of residences. Some look lived-in, others perhaps not. You are aware of something strange on the air...it is nothing spoken or even tangible, but you feel it all the same at the base of your mind.
It beckons you gently.
A passing breeze will bring you a variety of wonderful scents which seem to come from a small home with a storefront, which is across the street from the small restaurant also in this area. In the window is a variety of bottles arranged carefully by color and size, their bases decorated with a tasteful spray of flower petals.
If you were to venture inside, you would find modest, neatly-kept shop. The shelves are lined with an array of small, colorful bottles, some with labels and some without. From them exudes the source of the flowers, spices, and various other aromas you noted outdoors.
A sudden harried, but cordial, presence tingles at your mind, as if someone has spoken aloud to welcome you, but also ask you to wait a moment all at once.
....a moment later a dark-haired man of fair features bustles out of the back of the house and into the storefront, straightening creases out of the front of the draping clothes he wears. He smiles, and there is that strange presence once more, as he bids you a warm welcome to his shop with a polite bow, all without speaking.
This one's name is Hitsuga. How can he serve?

 basic fragrances... -- Not compelling, but not to be ignored. These fragrances offer the "staples" of perfuming. For those who prefer a precise scent, these perfumes are a crisp and sound imagery of their namesakes.
01. fresh mint // 02. sea breeze // 03. jasmine // 04. wildflower // 05. strawberry blossom // 06. citrus blend // 07. amber spice // 08. sandalwood
abstracts... -- fragrances that venture further into the vision of their artist and dare to convey more complex imagery. It is not a precise scent that these perfumes wish to get across, but to evoke feelings or states of mind in their wearer.
01. cockatrice - while its overtones of juniper may, at first, seem a bit obnoxious, one is quickly drawn in by the intriguing and elegant bouquet of sweet greenery and cloves. The bite of spice in its scent gives it the proper touch of flair to say "I am lovely. I am confident. You should notice me."
02. war - The urgency in this perfume is readily apparent in its high, citrus voice. Beneath that urgency lays a darker musk, like sweat saturating armor. If one were to examine it closely, they may note a bit of a 'metallic' twinge, reminiscent of swords drawn in battle or blood spilt. It is a scent that gets one's heart beating, and makes one feel driven. Like a soldier of war.
03. lotus - Mysterious. Passionate. A uniting of the pure, sweet white lotus and the deep, mature red lotus in an everlasting embrace. The aroma of sweet florals dances and flounders in a deeper sea of musk and spice. This fragrance teeters on the delicate line that borders 'love' and 'lust', awakening desire in its wearer.
04. maiden - This fragrance is pure and sweet, the fresh white scents of lily of the valley, clean linens, and a spring breeze timidly coming forth. It is a shy and gentle scent, and does not attempt to be anything but. Its wearer, and those around them, may be reminded of more innocent times in their youth.

cologne... -- designed specifically with soldiers or hard workers in mind. These colognes come in smaller bottles as their scent is highly-concentrated. The purpose for this is so that they will not be easily washed off with the sweat of a day's work.
01. strength // 02. pride // 03. elegance // 04. dignity // 05. endurance
seasonal... -- for those who do not require a wide variety of perfumes, but wish to accent themselves as the seasons change, there is the seasonal collection. From the light bouquet of spring's whisper to the bold and icy tang of winter's bite, an entire year is realized in these four bottles.
01. spring's whisper // 02. summer's rays // 03. autumn's slumber // 04. winter's bite

Wearing perfume is, perhaps, not your preference? Hitsuga understands, of course. Maybe, then, you would be interested in something to freshen your home? His shop provides a selection of candles, incense, and potpourri...
potpourri... -- when one is presented with so many raw materials to make their fragrances with, it only stands to reason that many are left over. They most certainly should not go to waste. Not when, dried and enhanced with fragrant oils, they can make a lovely creation all their own...
01. blood orange // 02. lavender grove // 03. apple spice
incense... -- these small bottles contain highly-concentrated scents. A few drops placed in one of the incense holders is enough to blanket an entire room when heated. These oils can be used alone, or in combinations with one another that one finds pleasing to their own senses.
scented candles... -- these candles come in a convenient size, making them ideal as reading lamps, agents to chemotherapeutic rituals, or to simply sit on a countertop where they will not be in the way. As their wax melts, it releases the scents contained in the oils, just enough to cast a warm presence and make a room feel inviting.
pomanders... -- wonderful for hanging decoratively in a room, or in a wardrobe. If handled gently, they can last for quite awhile.
01. orange with cloves // 02. fresh daisies // 03. lilac and lavendar

scented hand soaps... -- a variety of shapes and gentle, clean scents for use, or simply to decorate your sink's counter.
bath oils... -- a little goes a long way. A few drops is enough to turn one's bathwater into a soft, fragrant envelope that leaves its scent ghosting on your skin for hours afterward.
bath beads... -- for those who, perhaps, have no need of a bottle of oil as they only indulge occasionally, there is another option...
