It will be available at drugstores, supermarkets, and home centers nationwide, as well as on Amazon, Rakuten Ichiba, and Yahoo! Shopping.
'APALIGHT FRAGRANCE' is not just a toothpaste meant only for brushing teeth. Before getting ready in the morning, before heading out, after work, before a date, or before sleeping. It is an oral care item that adds a perfume-like sense of elation to the "time to tune oneself" throughout the day.
