Bringing Perfumes into Japan

I am a perfume aficionado who will be moving to Japan and own 6-7 bottles of perfumes – Bvlgari, Ralph Lauren, Issey Miyake etc. Each bottle definitely more than 2 oz. So is it okay to bring them into Japan? I don’t plan to bring all of them but maybe 2-3.

Please advise.

  1. Should be okay in your checked luggage yes. I would put them in ziplock bags to be safe. However, most people don’t wear perfume here- I wear some light sprays but actual perfume could possibly get you some complaints so I’d wear a little less than you usually do.

  2. Your interest won’t get much positive attention here. People don’t appreciate perfumes at all and will likely think you stink instead

  3. yeah A-Ok. I brought in the same number, of the same size, all in checked luggage with other packed items (cosmetics and things). No one cares.

  4. > So is it okay to bring them into Japan?

    Why wouldn’t it be? I had perfume shipped over with our belongings.

    If they are for personal use, then there is no issue. You can check them in your luggage.
