With ingredients from Grasse and crafted by world-renowned perfumer Mark Buxton, this foray is far from a "by the way".

Onitsuka Tiger has spent decades shaping a look that blends Japanese heritage with modern energy. Their trainers moved from sport to street and then into pop culture. Their clothing followed with the same clarity. This year, the brand takes a new step, one that feels both unexpected and inevitable. Onitsuka Tiger has created its first fragrance line, and the moment you hear who crafted it and where it was made, the move makes perfect sense.
Mark Buxton, the perfumer behind Le Labo Vetiver 46 and many bold Comme des Garcons creations, spent years shaping these scents. He is known for simplicity with weight, for elegance with a spark, for perfumes that stand out without shouting. When Onitsuka Tiger decided to define its scent identity, they turned to him, and he built the collection in the heart of French perfumery: Grasse.
Every part of the process happened there. Sunlit fields, traditional extraction methods, artisans who pass down their craft through generations. Ingredients sourced locally. Oils blended with care. Bottles filled under the Proven&ccedil;al light. The setting fits the spirit of the line, which carries the theme 'Wearing Quiet Radiance'.&nbsp;

The four fragrances follow this idea of contrast, each one capturing a different shade of clarity and warmth.
ONE opens with the cool cut of green notes and mint, softened by citrus. Florals rise gently, and then the scent drops into leather, woods, and patchouli. It feels like light moving across textured surfaces.
TWO is softer, almost a whisper. Lemon and bergamot drift in first, clean and bright. Geranium and incense rise behind them. Musk and sandalwood stay close to the skin, giving a calm, steady presence.
THREE begins warm. Orange and angelica lift the air, followed by violet and a faint sea breeze. As it settles, the scent becomes earthy and woody, like warmth gathering under shade.
FOUR starts fresh, bright with peppermint and bergamot. Then comes nutmeg and absinthe, sharp and lively. Later, vanilla and vetiver smooth everything out. It ends controlled, warm, and quietly confident.
All four scents are unisex. None tilt too far in any direction. They stay crisp, airy, and grounded, even the spicier ones. The Japanese are known to prefer lighter scent profiles that do not intrude on people's personal spaces while still being distinct. TWO stands out for its sheer clarity. FOUR carries the kind of warmth that lingers without asking for attention. It is the one that stays with you.
