You'd think Shiseido would've put this on the front burner what with Japan's aging population but no sign of a product — lotion/spray etc. — after 25 years!
Perhaps there is no counter acting agent and they're not as eager as Americans to sell snake oil
Perhaps they decided "existing scented lotions suffice and that market is already packed with options"
