紅葉饅頭  · the story

The scent of a Hiroshima October.

The story   ·  物語

Why this scent exists.

Momiji Manju is built around a quiet Japanese memory: the walk from Miyajima's ferry dock to the torii gate in late October, when the maples are deepest red and the air is cold enough to see your breath.

Momiji Manju sits close to the skin — a warm, gourmand solid perfume built around the memory of red maple leaves and sweet bean paste on a cool October afternoon in Miyajima.

A quiet whisper of cherry blossom opens the scent. The heart blooms into red maple leaves and soft vanilla — the warmth of a just-out-of-the-oven manju. The base settles into white musk and sandalwood, like woodsmoke trailing from a tea house on the shrine path.

Best worn: autumn afternoons, winter evenings, anytime you want to carry a slow moment.

City of inspiration

Miyajima, Hiroshima

Seto Inland Sea · Autumn

Momiji Manju is a love letter to Miyajima in October — the island where red maples crowd the path to Itsukushima Shrine and the air smells like sweet red bean.

Each autumn, Miyajima turns red. The maple leaves (momiji) light up the mountainside above the floating torii, and every shop on Omotesando street sells momiji-manju — maple-leaf-shaped cakes filled with warm bean paste.

We tried to bottle that walk — the cool air off the water, a faint trail of woodsmoke from a tea house, the sweetness that lingers on your fingers after eating one too many manju.

FAQ

Quiet questions, answered.

How long does the scent last?

On skin, Sayuri balms project close-to-body for 3–5 hours and leave a soft dry-down that can linger up to 8. Because the formula is oil-based, the scent stays intimate rather than filling a room.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes — our base is organic beeswax, jojoba, shea and cocoa butter, with no alcohol, parabens, or synthetic fixatives. We recommend a small patch test on the inner wrist if you're new to solid perfumes.

Can I fly with it?

Yes. A Sayuri compact is a solid, not a liquid, so TSA/EASA liquid rules don't apply. It tucks into a coat pocket or the corner of a carry-on.

How should I store it?

Keep your compact out of direct sunlight and below 25°C / 77°F. If it ever softens in heat, let it rest in a cool spot overnight — it returns to its original texture without losing scent.

Is it cruelty-free?

Always. No animal testing, ever. Our beeswax comes from small Japanese and European apiaries that practice sustainable hive management.
