Scenting Designer
“I want to cloak you in the scent of nature and make you smile."
I create comfortable spaces with natural scents for all environments and the people who use them.
My scents are not confined by space or time. My aspiration for the future is to create beautiful natural scents in even the most unlikely environments.
Born into a forestry family in Kyushu, Japan, I grew up in the forests of Oita Prefecture. These valuable experiences in early life formed my attachment to scents.
Megumi Fukatsu credits her sensibility for hospitality to having worked in the airline industry in her early twenties. From there, she found the world of scent.
After acquiring an international license for aromatherapy*, she explored the idea of enhancing space with natural plant scents. Through this, she nurtured the concept of space design through scent.
For around 20 years, Megumi was involved in brand development for AT-AROMA Co., Ltd. During this time, she participated in fragrance production and space design projects for companies such as ANA and Lexus. Megumi is active globally and has client bases in places such as Japan, USA, Europe and China.
In recent years, Megumi Fukatsu has focused on teaching, giving lectures and seminars at universities and sharing her passion for this topic.

「自然の香りに包まれて、笑顔になって欲しい」
天然の香りのある心地よい空間を、あらゆる人や空間へ。未来の宇宙ステーションにも香り空間を届けたい。
日本、九州の林業の家に生まれ、大分県日田の森の中で育つ。
その貴重な体験が、私の香りのルーツ。
２０代はじめ、航空会社での勤務経験がホスピタリティーを培う原点になる。
その後、香りの世界へ。アロマセラピーの国際ライセンス取得後、植物の香りで空間を彩る世界観を探求しアロマ空間デザインのコンセプトを提唱。＠aromaブランドの展開に約２０年携わり、ANA、レクサスなどの香り制作や空間デザインプロジェクトに参画。日本、アメリカ、ヨーロッパ、中国などグローバルに活動。近年は、大学での教鞭、講演やセミナーに力を入れ、この文化を広げていくことに情熱を注いでいます。
