Promotool Co., Ltd. has announced several advancements in its scent technology and olfactory design services. The company launched its ‘Space Scent® Aroma Spray’ on the JAL Shopping website, a fragrance inspired by astronaut descriptions of space and the scent of ethyl formate.

To support its research and development, the company’s senior perfumer, Takeshi Watanabe, completed advanced training at the French perfume school ISIPCA. 

Expanding into strategic branding, Promotool is scheduled to participate in COSME Week 2026 Osaka on September 30. The company will present on ‘olfactory design,’ demonstrating how strategic scent design can enhance luxury cosmetic brand value. This approach aims to create a cohesive brand experience by connecting products, physical spaces, and staff training, building upon previous work with brands such as Shiseido and Kose.
