APFR

If you’re a fan of thoughtfully crafted scents, APFR is a name you’ll want to know. Short for Apotheke Fragrance, this Japanese brand has been creating artisanal fragrances since 2011 under the vision of founder Keita Sugasawa. The word “Apotheke” comes from the German term for “pharmacy,” reflecting the brand’s philosophy: every scent is carefully crafted with the precision and care of a traditional apothecary.

Based in Chiba, Japan, APFR produces all of its products by hand in its own workshop. Each candle, incense, room spray, and fragrance oil is meticulously blended and packaged by skilled artisans, using high-quality ingredients sourced through trusted partnerships.

What sets APFR apart is its inspiration: a harmonious mix of traditional Japanese aesthetics and global influences, drawing from herbal medicine, natural philosophy, food, music, and art. This unique fusion results in fragrances that don’t just smell beautiful—they tell a story.
