APFR | APOTHEKE FRAGRANCE
Apotheke Fragrance or APFR is an artisanal, handmade fragrance brand. Their products are blended, produced, packaged, and shipped by crafters at their Chiba, Japan workshop. The brand name is derived from the German word apotheke, meaning a place where fragrances and medicinal herbs are prepared, or in more modern parlance, a pharmacy.
They admire the simple elegance and analog textures found only in the fruits of handmade labor. They shun machinery and outsourcing, which are the trappings of mass production. This is also why they blend and produce their products naturally, with their own hands. Their curiosity and endless experimentation with scents has built up a bountiful portfolio that stays true to their customers’ lifestyles and prescribes scents for their everyday lives.
