RETREATS &
CUSTOM SCENT SESSIONS

A Private Scent Ritual — In the Heart of Tokyo
‍Discover our private scent sessions in the heart of Tokyo — intimate experiences for individuals, couples, families, or friends who wish to craft a fragrance entirely their own. Each session is guided by Lina, founder and perfumer of LINA BADA, certified aromatherapist and meditation practitioner. More than blending notes, we listen — to breath, to mood, to the quiet shifts within — and translate them into scent.

“Smell is deeply woven into emotional memory.”

For travelers, we gently suggest creating your fragrance in the first days of your stay, and wearing it throughout your journey in Japan.
Long after you return home, one breath will bring it all back.

SESSIONS / RETREATS

SCENTED MEDITATION RETREAT

Offering holistic experiences for those seeking inner peace, self-connection, and alignment with their true self.

SELF LOVE

Craft a scent that is entirely your own — a fragrance that gently guides you back to yourself.
‍
Explore over 40 essential oils & fragrances, including rare Japanese “wa” notes. Listening softly to your subtle current within, we layer each note with care. From this quiet process, your personal blend begins to emerge —not simply a perfume, but a scent that gently connects who you are now with who you are becoming.

With quiet guidance, you blend and refine until it feels like home. Two variations are created. One remains. Your chosen scent is poured into a 40ml Eau de Parfum bottle and your personal formula is kept for whenever you wish to return.

TESTIMONIALS

My scent session with Lina was a portal to the Divine. I was in need of an act of kindness to myself, and this was the perfect gift. The way she balances her mindfulness and knowledge in meditation with the depth of sense and fragrance makes it a very healing and magical experience. I highly recommend anyone in Tokyo to take part in her workshops.

The Perfume Workshop was an absolute hit! It was such a unique and fun way to bond with colleagues and learn something new. Everyone had a great time creating their own personalized scents, and the atmosphere was lighthearted and creative. The instructor was very flexible with arrangements, knowledgeable and patient, helping us out to get the best of the experience and our perfumes! They made the whole process easy and engaging, even for those of us with no prior experience. It's perfect for small to mid size groups.

Despite coming into the session a complete newbie, Lina made me feel completely comfortable and equipped me with everything I needed to create my own custom fragrance. I left not only with a new scent but with a deeper appreciation for perfumes and olfactory arts. 10/10 would recommend it for anyone interested in perfumes, fragrances or just curious about different methods for self-care.
