About Sawaday
Sawaday is an air freshener that Kobayashi Pharmaceutical launched in 1975 for toilets, following Bluelet, and which took the company into the air freshener market despite internal doubts during the oil crisis. On its 40th anniversary in 2015 the brand logo was unified in Latin letters as Sawaday, and the reed-diffuser style Sawaday Kaoru Stick series is now among its most popular products.
