With their graceful dance, peering out from behind intricate fans, there’s nothing more mesmerizing and alluring than a soft-spoken geisha. In our quest to acquire some semblance of the geisha’s captivating aura ourselves, we’ve discovered the uniquely beguiling fragrances of aroma M.

Bedecked in beautifully-patterned Yuzen papers that are handcrafted in Kyoto, aroma M’s eight Geisha roll-on perfume oils are each named for a color. Here we’ve inscribed the “memoirs” of our favorite fragrance, Geisha Pink.

On Paper:
“A shot of sugared plum, with fresh orange added for tang, and vanilla for seductive staying power. This is a young Eastern-accented scent, brimming with sophisticated sass.  When to wear it?  At the big Saturday Night date…when you want to daydream…whenever you want to ever so slightly misbehave.  What will it do for your psyche?  Sweeten it, re-charge it, speed it up.”

On Person:
Geisha Pink is a warm, spicy fragrance with sweet and citrusy undertones. This rare, complex blend of rich, fruity aromas envelops the senses with a feeling of luxurious, yet discreet, opulence.  Like the understated elegance of a demure geisha, a small dab of this fragrance oil makes a powerful, lasting impression.

On You:
Fragrances by aroma M are available at leading department stores, boutiques and online at www.aromam.com.  Geisha Pink is available in a 8ml (1/4 oz.) roll-on for $44.00.
