Zashiki Warashi — Watermelon, Wisteria, Green Tea, Berries, Cream
Zashiki Warashi are considered guardian spirits of the house, and gods of luck. They appear as ghost-like five or six-year-old children with blushing red faces. Direct sightings of these ghosts are rare. In some instances, it is said that only the house’s owners, or only children, are able to see these spirits. Because of this, they are usually known only by their pranks. It is said that a house with a Zashiki Warashi will prosper and grow rich, and a house that drives away such a spirit will fall into decline and ruin. In many homes, these spirits befriend the children of the house, teaching them songs, games, and nursery rhymes. They keep elderly or infertile couples company, and these couples often treat the ZashikiWarashi as if it were their own child.
I made this scent to represent a Zashiki Warashi's playful and mischievous innocence. Sweet, yet peaceful it's a fragrance of calm summer days spent in a house guarded by a spirit that wants nothing more than to play and bring fortune. Just remember to never do them harm or all their goodwill turn on you. .
