Hakka is Japanese mint, which contains a higher concentration of menthol than the more familiar peppermint. This eau de parfum is an irresistible call and response between leafy green hakka, and the clear-as-a-bell appeal of jasmine, lily and lotus. White musk softly sustains this delicate, revivifying experience. Note: you may feel a cooling sensation from the minty menthol when applying on skin.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Think of a warm afternoon after the house has been put in order: windows open, surfaces cleared, the pace briefly slowed. Hakka’s leafy mint gives that sense of a fresh start, while its floral-musky softness keeps the mood gentle rather than briskly functional.
How to wear
The mint-led composition is a natural choice for spring and warm weather. Start with one or two sprays, leaving room for the floral heart beneath the crisp opening. Mint-derived menthol may create a cooling sensation on skin; the musk and cedarwood provide a softer counterpoint.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy green, aromatic fragrances but want more than a straightforward herbal scent. Hakka suits a taste for pronounced mint freshness balanced by transparent flowers and soft musk, rather than dense sweetness or heavy woods.
Release year
2019
J-Scent’s story
J-Scent translates Japanese culture, seasonal landscapes and familiar everyday smells into harmonious perfumes. Manufactured in Japan, its fragrances draw on recognisable sensory details to evoke memories rather than relying on abstract luxury themes.
Hakka (Japanese Mint)’s concept
Hakka was conceived to turn the familiar sharpness of Japanese mint into a delicate fine fragrance. Its cool, green opening gives way to lightly sweet flowers and an airy musky finish. It joined the collection alongside Koiame and Wood Flake in August 2019.
Extra info
Hakka is the Japanese name for mint, and the fragrance carries the collection code W18. Its mint-derived menthol may produce an actual cooling sensation on skin—a sensory detail explicitly noted in the product description.
