Butōkai is a women's perfume by the Japanese brand Chanson Cosmetics / シャンソン化粧品, released in 1968.
This release belongs to the early period of the brand's history and has its own page for those interested in classic Japanese perfumery and fragrances from the past.
In the database, Butōkai is classified as a fragrance for women.
The name is recorded in two forms — Butōkai and シャンソン化粧品 Butōkai — so it can be easily searched using either the Latin transliteration or the original Japanese spelling.
The composition's main documented characteristic is its very strong sillage.
This means that Butōkai can make a noticeable impression in its surroundings and leave a distinct fragrant trail, so moderation and gradual testing are especially important when first getting to know it.
The exact concentration of Butōkai, as well as recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing, is not specified in the available data.
A practical way to begin exploring it is to apply a small amount to the skin and assess how it develops over several hours, taking its stated high sillage intensity into account.
Chanson Cosmetics / シャンソン化粧品 is a Japanese perfume brand that produces women's fragrances, including eau de cologne concentrations.
Butōkai is of interest as a 1968 release: it offers insight into the kinds of perfume products included in the brand's range during an era when Japan's beauty industry was actively developing its own identity.
No information about the perfumer, collection, other concentrations, or similar fragrances for Butōkai is available.
Therefore, this description focuses on the release's confirmed characteristics: its name, brand, year of release, positioning for women, and very strong sillage.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The available information does not specify the top, middle, or base notes of the composition.
There is also no information about blended notes, olfactory families, or fragrance groups.
Therefore, it is impossible to reliably describe the opening, heart, and drydown of Butōkai.
To get to know the fragrance, it is best to test it on your own skin, as this is the only way to assess its scent and development.
The stated very strong sillage remains the key known characteristic of the composition.
