Harikata


This is another cropped image, because I am not sure if it is safe to show the complete picture. Harikata means dildo and the women in the picture are using one. You can see the complete picture here. It is of course another one of BPAL's Shunga scents, Harikata was released in 2008. The description is:
Osmanthus, honey, golden musk, vanilla flower, and ginger.
I still have not smelled osmanthus on its own. Someone who has smelled the essential oil of osmanthus describes it like this: 
Osmanthus, the golden one is native to Japan and I have an essential oil that I can best describe as a toned down jasmine with some greenness and powderiness. (source)
The combination of honey and ginger gives this scent a foundation which returns in later Shunga scents like this year's Entangled. The osmanthus and vanilla flower make Harikata the more feminine scent of the two. However, with their similar base they become more alike after the higher, more volatile notes have given off most of their scent.
