Official perfume with Utena’s scent from Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete is now for sale
Based on manga chapter 62, you can now buy an official perfume with Utena Hiiragi’s scent.
Merchandise from the anime industry always finds ways to push boundaries, and this time the level of detail has reached the senses. To the delight of the community following the manga of Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete (Gushing Over Magical Girls), the production committee has announced the release of an extravagant official fragrance inspired solely by the unique body odor of its charismatic and sadistic protagonist, Utena Hiiragi.

Officially named the Utena Eau de Toilette (or simply “The Scent of Utena-chan”), this cosmetic wasn’t created arbitrarily to drain wallets. Its existence is completely canon and draws its concept directly from the wild events in manga chapter 62 by Akihiro Ononaka. To make the product more fun and faithful to the work, the packaging includes the descriptive phrase in English “Smells Like Baby Spirit… (by Kiwi)”, referencing exactly how Araga Kiwi described the scent of her beloved waifu. The bottle will cost 6,600 yen and promises to be one of the franchise’s most peculiar items.

Dedicated fans can try this fragrance in person during limited MHAK gals! POP UP STORE events, opening in Tokyo from August 29 and later in Osaka during October, before reaching select online stores. Alongside the perfume, attendees can buy exclusive merchandise like creator-signed illustrations, acrylic figures, and a coveted Leopard plush. This commercial wave arrives at an excellent time, as the manga resumed its serialization successfully and the hit animated adaptation has its second season confirmed in production.
Knowing this perfume replicates a scent literally described as “baby spirit” from Kiwi’s obsessive perspective, would you dare to buy this fragrance just to discover what the Enormeeta leader really smells like in real life?
