"WONK" is an experimental soul band that attracts attention both in Japan and overseas. On January 8 (Mon./holiday), vocalist Kento Nagatsuka visited Shinsaibashi PARCO in preparation for the first time in about six months at gorilla Hall, a live house in Suminoe-ku, Osaka. In addition to the outstanding aesthetic sense, from a unique perspective unique to a former bistro chef, he enjoyed the scent shop, a select shop that he loves himself, and a flavorful coffee.

Next, I visited the 3rd floor ELEGANCE STYLE floor with a lineup of prominent bags, jewelry brands, and select shops. Among them, the room fragrance brand "DR. VRANJES" in Florence, Italy, which emits a pleasant scent, has developed natural fragrant fragrances and diffusers using carefully selected essential oils since its birth in 1983. There are more than 30 kinds of scents available, so you will surely be able to meet your favorite scent. In such "DR. VRANJES", we searched for Mr. Nagatsuka's favorite scent.

"Of course, I have a diffuser at home, and sometimes I made a fragrance with tour goods a few years ago. It's an indispensable part of my daily life when it comes to fragrance. I often use French brands in fragrances, and I like wood and green as fragrances. This unique spicy scent of wood lurking in nature is a unique Italian feeling that France does not have. In cooking, Italian has a mysterious cohesion, even though it is citrus strength. The luxurious package is also wonderful!"

Among the many lineups, Mr. Nagatsuka's favorite is the crisp and spicy scent that feels the energy of Milan that continues to transmit Italian mo. Mr. Nagatsuka, who has served as a chef in the past and has a deep knowledge of French and Italian.
