Many people love to watch Studio Ghibli movies, and now they can smell like them, too! Ghibli, working with the fragrance company Fernanda, has come out with body splashes themed after three of their films: Kiki’s Delivery Service, Whisper of the Heart, and Howl’s Moving Castle. Each scent is different, and each bottle has an image from its titular movie, so that these can be used as collector’s items even after the body splash is used up.
The Kiki’s Delivery Service body splash is called Maria Regale, and it’s a mix of jasmine, Lily of the Valley and pear.
The Whisper of the Heart body splash is named Classic Tea, and its ingredients consist of black tea, amber and yuzu, a citrus fruit in Asia.
The Howl’s Moving Castle body splash is titled White Bouquet, and it has rose, lily and cedarwood to bring out its scent.
Each bottle costs 2,200 yen, which is a little over $15. They can be purchased at the Donguri Kyowkoku website here.
