Why You Should Visit
A two-day scent trail through Kobe BAL, the fashion building on Tor Road. Twelve in-house brands — including LE LABO, DIPTYQUE, OFFICINE UNIVERSELLE BULY and Maison Margiela Fragrances — each offer a short (about 2-minute) scent experience in their stores. Every visit earns a stamp on BAL's official LINE card; collect five and pick up a small seasonal bouquet at the 1F flower booth. Beyond perfume, you'll find hand soaps, body care and room fragrances — a relaxed excuse to step into shops you might usually walk past.
