the packaging: this line has 7 different types and all comes in similar design. everything comes in a gold box with oil drop illustration at front, only with different color band. for the frizz care, it's pink. there's a lot of description on the box but everything is in japanese. when i first use it, i was confused. i translated the description on the box and apparently it has this QR code that you can scan and it will direct you to a youtube video where they will show you how to use the oil. thank goodness for that, or else i won't know how to use the hair oil. the hair oil itself comes in a dark brown glass bottle with label that has the same design as the box. the gold plastic pump is covered with a cloudy gold transparent cap. the size is 60 ml and it lasts for quite some time. 

the scent: this one has a light floral fragrance, as described. 

the product: so this is where i tell you why i got confused the first time using it. it is marketed as a hair oil, so obviously, i thought it will be liquid, just like other hair oil. but apparently, it's a semi-solid oil. like gel type serum? if that makes sense. anyway, i squirt it to my palm and i got confused, how much should i use? luckily, there's the video so i end up knowing that i should use two pumps for one hair part and another pump or two for the rest of my hair. a little goes a long the way as it's quite thick.

the result: at first, since i don't know how much to use, i end up using too much so my hair ends up being too oily and limp. even though i had blow dried it with hair dryer, it's still too oily. after using it as per instructed, i have no problem. however, since my heat protection is also an oil, i decided not to use it and only use once of them before drying my hair. anyway, i have to be careful with this as this can get oily pretty quick if i use a bit too much. but if i use the right amount, it makes my hair tameable, soft and smooth. however, it can't seem to get rid of the frizz completely. 

anyway, this is a good hair oil, but somehow it's not enough for my hair. my hair is still frizzy, especially if i don't style it right away. looking at the website, the one that i choose is the richest one. like it's targeted for damaged and frizzy hair, so i doubt the other would work on my hair better. anyway, i can't say for you, but this hair oil is pretty thick and obviously fragranced, so decide for yourself whether it's right for you or not. but this one is pretty good and not that expensive. but you have to remember that this comes in a glass bottle so it's quite heavy and it might interfere with the delivery cost. as for me, i won't repurchase this because i've already had a list of other hair oil to try.
