Our story
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision - to redefine the fragrance industry.

Inspired by the Japanese meaning of “assistant,” JOSHU was founded to guide and support your journey in experiencing products that feel truly special. Rooted in the principles of Japanese artistry and craftsmanship, we embrace simplicity and balance in every design. Driven by artistry and a commitment to authenticity, JOSHU was created to redefine the luxury home fragrance experience.  

Challenging the expectations of mass-market luxury brands, we set out to craft scents with purpose—fragrances that feel intentional and deeply meaningful. Each creation reflects our dedication to elevated design and beauty, honoring the art of refinement found in Japanese tradition.
