the/a flower of "Ijyu", a needlewood, lived-in aroma


Explanation:
The way "Ijyu, a needlewood" may good to pass the information of the flower. To tell them, adrers/comusmers/buyers, Ijyu is a flower spicies witch belong to simier of Needlewood.

In this contex, I can not get any image from the word "しっとり”. The sentense want to say "dense fragrance/aroma/smell", "natural/rather moisturerized smell/aroma/fragrance", "lived-in/down memory lane/near your heart/good old aroma/fragrance".

Its depent on the pourpose of the sentense. How to use Ijyu, what for?

<I just try it>
I referd Cd version of reder's+Plus,
Pdic with Gene etc. POD, some of books of gardenig.

Wafting aroma, Ijyu flower


Explanation:
Hou about「しっとり香る」becoming "Wafting"?
I agree with leaving イジュ as "Ijyu."

graceful aroma of Iju camellia


Explanation:
smooth fragrance of Iju camellia


more possiblities depending on what this catchy copy will be used for. perfume? lotion? or flower itself?

also, i like to use "Iju" not "Ijyu"

Camellia may be used with the okinawan name "Iju" so that people can have some sort of idea what type of flower is, unless it is accompanied by some images, eg., pictures.


Iju (camellia family), Shima wallichi Korthals ssp.
