Mr. Buffini then shared with us his favorite fragrance among his many creations.

"The first piece I worked on when I started this project, 'No. 31 (Trentuno),' is a work I have a strong attachment to. Mirko Buffini Firenze started with 'No. 31,' which I selected from among about 50 candidates. I also like 'SABA,' which is inspired by the Queen of Sheba wearing a dress that shines like the sun. I also like 'OG,' which is strong and masculine, with a striking presence of oud (agarwood)."

Furthermore, from the new "HCE series" collection, she highlighted "GIGOT," a fragrance that harmoniously blends vibrant rose with cinnamon, cedar, and musk.

"The brand's characteristic is that all of its fragrances are unisex, but it's very interesting that 'SABA,' which I thought was masculine, is popular with women, and 'GIGOT,' which I thought was more for women, is popular with men. The fragrance of 'GIGOT,' which combines elegance and a strong individuality, is very characteristic of Mirko Buffini Firenze."

Also, in this season of intense late summer heat, the fragrances recommended to suit Japan's unique climate of high humidity are the refreshing floral and marine scent "HAECCEITAS," "YOUTH," which is currently on pre-sale at ISETAN MEN'S , and the only cologne, "LA CHUTE D'EAU."

"Strong, heavy fragrances may not be suitable for humid climates, especially in the middle of summer. These three fragrances, on the other hand, are light yet rich, not too light, and have a fresh and refreshing scent. And this applies to any perfume, but you should never rub the area where you sprayed it vigorously. Not only will the fragrance components be destroyed, but they will also mix with sebum and other substances, preventing you from experiencing the true essence of the rich fragrance."
