#School Days Anime Inspires Perfume Products

Anime-themed perfume and cosmetics brand Fairy Tail Parfum is selling eau de parfum based on the three main characters of the infamous School Days romance-drama anime. 

The parfum based on School Days protagonist Makoto Ito, known for his ruinous decision-making and infidelity, is described as an “egoistic” perfume that will evoke “primitive lust” and leave an alluring impression. The top note version includes the scent of the narcissus, due to it symbolizing ego in the language of flowers, while the last note includes the sensual musk.

Long-haired heroine Kotonoha Katsura’s parfum is supposed to be light, sweet, and possessing a sense of splendor to convey her overly devoted feelings for Makoto. The top note has the lily of the valley as it symbolizes purity, in contrast to the “edgy” last note that can “gently sting hearts.”

Finally, the parfum themed after short-haired heroine Sekai Saionji is “girly” and “cute” with its last note, and “sweet-and-sour” with its fruity top note to convey the simultaneous feeling of charm and willfulness. The last note includes the scent of jasmine, which carries the meaning of “you are mine” in flower language.

All three School Days parfums cost 4,400 yen (~US$28.27) with tax included for a 60 ml bottle. They are being sold on Fairy Tail’s Dreaming Princess website, Amazon Japan, and the Rakuten webstore. 

The respective scents are:

The School Days TV anime aired in 2007 with 12 episodes and is an adaptation of a 2005 visual novel. There were also two OVAs. Prime Video describes the series as:

Makoto Ito is caught in a bizarre, and violent, love triangle with his two high school classmates in this perverse twist on the typical harem comedy.
