Yuriko’s Aroma

If you want to read my review of Yuriko’s Aroma, read this post. In ユリ子のアロマ, Yuriko has olfactophilia, a paraphilia that causes arousal towards certain odors, and she can’t resist the scent of a 17-year-old boy.

Yuriko (Noriko Eguchi) is in her 30s, is an aromatherapy masseuse at a salon and has an extreme sensitivity to smells.

“It’s not a fetish! I just know what I like.”

Tetsuya (Shôta Sometani) turned 17 and, after his Kendo class, he visited his aunt’s salon to get a massage as a birthday present.

“It’s no good. You have to shower after Kengo practice. you’ll drive the goes off!”

Tetsuya’s aunt didn’t know that the smell of her nephew’s sweat could actually have the opposite effect. Especially for her employee, Yuriko. She was captivated.

Yuriko stole the Kendo glove that Tetsuya was carrying in his bag, while he was getting a massage from his aunt as a birthday present.

“That was quick!”

Days later, she followed him from school to an abandoned warehouse that he used to visit and took the initiative. It was unexpected for both, but he liked what she did.

“Can we take up where we left off?”

No matter how eccentric Yuriko’s fetish was, every time, she masturbated him and that was enough for her to fall into his good graces.

“Can you smell me again?”

With the public displays of affection, the two were seen by Tetsuya’s best friend and his girlfriend, for whom Tetsuya had a hidden crush.

Yuriko took great pleasure in smelling Tetsuya and saw no problem in masturbating him during the process, but she didn’t feel comfortable having sex.

“Yuriko, listen. I think I want more than just…”

From there, things went awry. his best friend’s ex-girlfriend confessed to him. What Yuriko was doing was wrong and Tetsuya’s aunt found out what was happening.

Yuriko’s Aroma review: olfactophilia

Paraphilia is when we have disruptive sexual behavior or fantasy and olfactophilia is the paraphilia that describes sexual arousal caused by odor that is outside the norm.

Odors play a important role in communication between animals and some smells activate areas of the brain linked to sexual behavior.

Tetsuya’s sweat is full of male pheromones and Yuriko’s arousal comes from the female ability to feel this even without realizing it.

Why you should watch Yuriko’s Aroma

I won’t leave Yuriko’s Aroma ending explained or a download link here, but this erotic Japanese movie addresses one of the most complex aspects of human behavior, fetishes.

Everything is light, sexy and fast because the film is about 75 minutes long. A great way to pass the time.
