"SEVESKIG," developed by NOA Co., Ltd., will start advance sales of five collaboration fragrances with works by director Satoshi Kon on its official online store at 15:00 on Friday, October 9, 2026. Each is 30 ml and priced at ¥8,800 (tax included).

Announced on Thursday, October 8, the products commemorate the holding of "Satoshi Kon Birthday Celebration 2026." The company explains that each scent expresses the world of the work, not the characters, and is composed so that its impression changes over time.

Five works by director Satoshi Kon, each given a different scent

"PERFECT BLUE" is soapy / powdery / musk. The scent moves from sweet orange to lavender, linden and ambrette seed, and, according to the company, expresses the protagonist's wavering and self-discovery.

"Tokyo Godfathers" is woody / lactonic / gourmand. It combines white sage, yuzu and ho wood with the sweetness of benzoin and vanilla, plus musk. The company explains that it turns winter in Tokyo and the warmth of a family beyond blood ties into scent.
