Kaori Tsuzuku (Long-Lasting Fragrance) TOP plus

1. Objective of Introducing the New Product
A Lion survey conducted in 2011 revealed that a significant number of consumers have become increasingly focused on detergent fragrances in recent years. In addition to nice fragrances, 29% of respondents' desire detergent fragrances that last until clothes are put on, while 43% prefer such fragrances to continue while clothing is being worn.
 
In addition, approximately 90% of the respondents who emphasize detergent fragrances have a greater desire for scents that last longer than before. This indicates an increased need for detergents that feature continuous scents. However, the survey also revealed that only a small number of respondents believe the products they currently use provide fragrances that last until clothes are put on or while clothing is being worn.
 
Over the past few years, the consumption volume of such synthetic fibers as polyester and polyurethane in the second half of fiscal 20101 is up 130% compared with the second half of fiscal 2008 according to a survey conducted by the Japan Chemical Fibers Association. In particular, although cotton has until now been the main material for undergarments, the use of synthetic fibers is increasing thanks mainly to the development of heat-retention and rapid-drying capabilities.

(2) Deodorant effect effectively removes odor from sweat, sebum and grime

Kaori Tsuzuku (Long-Lasting Fragrance) TOP plus is more concentrated owing to its high-density MEE formula. As a result, each compact bottle provides the same number of uses as the regular type.
