Scents of Osaka become popular souvenir : Culture : Features : DAILY YOMIURI ONLINE (The Daily Yomiuri)

Air freshners depicting famous Osaka locales have beomce popular souvenirs,(omiyagi)

The air fresheners were jointly developed by members of Naniwa Meibutsu Kaihatsu Kenkyukai, a cross-industrial association, headed by Ikuro Noiri, president of Senoya, after an air freshener producer of Nara Prefecture came up with the idea to create a new Osaka brand product

The first available fragrance is "Tenpozan Omoide no Kaori" (memory of Tenpozan). The air freshener attempts to capture the essence of a first date on the sightseeing area's Ferris wheel.

Another fragrance, "Dotonbori Atsugesho no Kaori" (heavily made-up woman in Dotonbori), captures the scent of an overly made-up middle-aged woman sitting next to you in a theater in the entertainment district.

Another, "Kitashinchi, Unaji no Kaori" (the perfumed neck of a Kitashinchi hostess), recreates the scent of a kimono-clad hostess in the Kitashinchi entertainment district.
