The reason I put strong perfume is because I hate smelling “natural” body smells of people and I’m very sensitive to smells around me too but I’d rather be drowned in perfume than drowned in people sweat
To smell good is great but I am really impressed especially to girls that don't have strong perfume smell but don't have odor. I don't use too much cologne because I don't want people to be curious what I am using, just to be unique. Also we have Indian gym mates that known to be Wasabi guys.😅
These are honestly the most informative videos on Japan (regarding everyday life) I have found on TH-cam. If the production was different (fancy camera and sound, music, lots of fast editing) I am sure this channel would blow up. Personally I like it like this. Please don't change, thanks for the videos!

I’m moving to japan soon and am addicted to designer perfumes most are strong (gourmand perfume is like good sweets) coffee perfumes or vanilla, blackberry etc… sweet smells that are little strong
I use tea leaf candle or electric warmer. It is the same concept for oils or wax melts but instead warms tea leafs. The containers are made of the same ceramic that absorbs flavour of tea for tea pots. This absorbs the scent and makes it more full (not stronger) with use. For myself I use oil perfumes which are more subtle. I love this traditional Kyoto brand thats been operating through generations: Chidoriya. U just use their body/face oil because it smells so elegant but natural and subtle. I also like Japanese body spray with shampoo scent. Clean delicate and fresh. An american brand that is great is also called "clean" their fragrance called "skin" is so soft subtle and elegant. I cannot use storng scents they cause me migraines.
You'll notice it when you're there too. The obnoxious, pungent stench of tourists will totally ruin the gentle relaxation and quiet, respectful experience in all social settings. The crowds in Tokyo and Kyoto are pretty epic in areas and a melange of artificial odours fighting for airspace would aggravate and stress people. With fresh-off-the-boat tourists, you'll smell them when then walk into a cafe or onto the train well before you see them. They'll strike you as cheap, obnoxious and ignorant. I made a mental note too the first time I went to Japan as I love wearing high end niche fragrances and a lot of make up. One out of the two had to go. No guesses as to which one I chose to forsake. I had no idea how lovely the absence of people's personal odour was until an ignorant tourist first smashed my zen with their fragrance-drenched clothing. I think it's tiny details like having 'no fragrance language' screaming incoherently and continuously in crowds, as that would attach space to each physical body and add to the feeling of mental and emotional claustrophobia, if that makes sense. There's already sensory overload in big cities so this consideration is small but unbelievably effective and powerful. It feels safe, calm and respectful and 'psychically spacious'-- and you don't even notice it. Until it's gone. As with many things in life, the value is felt upon its sudden absence. :)
as a person who likes to smell nice and put on cologne the best way to put it on is under the cloths and let it mix with your natural body oils to produce a smell unique to you. one spritz is enough and 2 is pushing it. the goal isn't to smell like the cologne and I think that's where people go wrong because if I can smell you from more than 5 feet away there's a problem. use it sparingly its a lot more noticeable to others than it is to you, but obviously if Santi telling you not to put it on don't put it on
You're so right. Again. Still, I'd love you to review some fragrances from the 'J-Scent' house. I wonder if the do samples on their website? I've never tried anything by them but your 'test drive' of them in public would be very interesting.
I think I belong in Japan because most of Santi's videos are the things that I actually agree, now this again, I also am not a fan of wearing perfume or cologne but rather prefer scents or air fresheners, the relaxing ones. I like the smell mint also. I'd rather have the smell of coffee or mint tea in the atmosphere. And the smell of clean, yes.
I think Japanese people would like "patchouli essential oil", 3 drops on your hands, rub them together and then apply it on your chest and neck after a shower and you are ready.
Good content, I find out my co-worker doesn't like my White Diamond perfume, I spray it in my back. coz I don't want to smell it. lol. but a while back at my other work I have a lot of compliments from my work. therefore I spray it every day when I'm at work but only in my shoulder.lol.
What kind of incense do Japanese people like? There are many types I understand. Personally I use Palo Santo. Its a Native American wood from the Navajo Nation.
So if you get sprayed by a skunk or a person works in the sewer system and you have really bad order you go to a temple take off your shoes and it stinks to high heaven your brother smell that then cologne?
Cologne is part of my life lol. So if ever do go to Japan they're just going to have to deal with it :-) also because I'm legally blind if I won't notice them giving me a dirty look anyways so I'll probably just smile and nod LOL

Getting the honest opinion is great.
Bad smell is allowed, except good ones
Yes indeed 😂 If a stranger actually suddenly starts talking to you because he's irritared, something must have gone terribly wrong

I had no idea wearing a perfume could bother people in Japan. Good to know than. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank You Santi-san, i could wear light cologne just 1-2x spray only on Japan 😂

Now i realize why my co japanesse worker hate my smell even if i put a perfume .thanks bro for the info.

it depends on the perfume and the concentration
I went to Tokyo one time. It was not bad but I like Italy better.
why they sell perfume though lol

3:24 I used to have a bottle of (Japanese) room fragrance that looked similar to that one but I can't remember the brand now...

Can you please let me know some Colonie shops I'm looking for specific and I heard I can find there
Gourmand scents in japan, is accepted?

How about baby scent 😂 I smell like a baby 😂
lol

When I take off my shoes they're very bad order
Cologne is part of my life lol. So if ever do go to Japan they're just going to have to deal with it :-) also because I'm legally blind if I won't notice them giving me a dirty look anyways so I'll probably just smile and nod LOL
Lol. Same with me. I will definitely use a fragrance but like 1 spray or 2
Wait here is a question: What do Japanese people think of being transgender? Here where I am its not that big a deal.
Quite interesting not using perfum
cars perfume jel
