Can a fragrance encapsulate the essence of a virtual entity?

For the legions of fans of Virtual YouTuber, singer, entertainer and personality Kizuna AI, this isn't just a thought experiment. If Kizuna AI had a fragrance, what would it be?

While it may not be the definitive reply, a new collaboration between the virtual diva and Japanese parfumier scentnations has yielded the world's first attempt to answer that burning question.

Taking into account Kizuna AI's image as a “beloved character,” and many details ranging from her costume coloring to the various facets of her personality, scentnations has developed two unisex fragrances, Berry Milk and Apple Herbs
