Sweat and Soap

The employees at Liliadrop are renowned for their elegance and excellence in producing premium women's cosmetics. However, Asako Yaeshima stands in stark contrast as an atypical employee, once nicknamed "Aseko" due to her uncommon issue of extreme perspiration. To combat her predicament, Asako devises a morning ritual of blending various Liliadrop soaps and unscented deodorants to conceal her body odor. Despite her efforts, Koutarou Natori, a brilliant fragrance developer at the company famed for his acute sense of smell, isn't fooled. Koutarou, taken aback by the amalgamation of Asako's natural essence and the soap, insists on daily olfactory testing for a week to safeguard the company's reputation by creating new fragrances inspired by Asako. With the stakes so high, Asako agrees but never anticipates the unexpected bond that would ensue between her and Koutarou.
