ABOUT THE MAKER

Founded in Chiba, Japan, by Keita Sugasawa in 2011, APFR (Apotheke Fragrance) is an independent home fragrance atelier rooted in fine craftsmanship and quiet luxury.  

Drawing inspiration from traditional herbal medicine, world travel, and ancient Japanese philosophy, APFR creates complex, modern olfactory profiles designed to seamlessly integrate into daily life. Every formulation is meticulously blended and poured by hand in their Chiba workshop using globally sourced ingredients of the highest purity. Stripping away excess to focus entirely on texture, raw materials, and atmospheric depth, APFR turns everyday spaces into sensory rituals.
