Kounogu | Paints for enjoying the blend of scents and colors

Scent + Paint = "Ka-no-gu" (Scent Paint)

"Ka-no-gu" is a new paint brand created by GRASSE TOKYO, a company that produces many aroma and fragrance products. It blends 100% natural essential oils and paint.

The development team's desire was to provide an opportunity for people in Japan, where opportunities to learn about scent are scarce, to learn about blending in an enjoyable way and to incorporate it into their daily lives.

When you mix colors, the essential oils are also blended, giving birth to "Ka-no-gu," which is not just paint, but a way to enjoy your own unique scents and colors.

It's also fun to choose colors based on scents. 9 types of essential oil scents

・Red (Geranium): A green-toned scent reminiscent of roses

・Orange (Orange): A fresh and invigorating orange scent

・Yellow (Ylang-ylang): A sweet, rich, and elegant tropical scent

・Blue (Juniper Berry): A woody scent like being in a forest

・Green (Patchouli): An oriental, deep, and heavy scent

・Purple (Lavender): A gentle and comforting floral scent

・Brown (Cedarwood): A calming hinoki-like scent

・Black (Black Pepper): A spicy and stimulating scent

・White (Eucalyptus): A refreshing and invigorating scent

Choosing colors based on scents is a unique way to enjoy Ka-no-gu. What color would your custom-blended scent be?

Letters with added scent that convey your feelings more deeply

The scent of Ka-no-gu can be enjoyed for 2 to 3 days after application. Why not send a letter with a scent that cannot be conveyed through SNS or email, while thinking of the recipient?

For a "good job" message, try using the calming lavender (purple).

For a "good luck" message, the refreshing eucalyptus (white) is recommended.
