How long does the scent in the sachet last?

Scent lasts 3-6 weeks, depending on humidity, and will gradually fade over time. When the scent fades, remove the sachet and mist 5-10 sprays of the matching HYSSES Room Scent directly onto it. Allow a few minutes for the scent to absorb before returning the sachet to the compartment and enjoying it again.

How do I re-scent the sachet?

Remove the Scented Sachet from the plushie. Spritz 5 to 10 sprays of Hysses Room Scent Spray in the matching scent directly onto the buckwheat husk from about 10cm away. Allow to absorb for a few minutes, then return the sachet to the plushie.

Can I machine wash the Maneki Chou Chou?

We do not recommend machine washing. Please surface clean only with a lightly damp cloth, and always remove the Scented Sachet first. Do not submerge in water or tumble dry.

Is this product safe for children?

Maneki Chou Chou is suitable for ages 3 and above. As the sachet may present a choking hazard if opened or damaged, we recommend supervising children under 6 years old during use.

Are the essential oils safe to inhale?

Yes. The Scented Sachet is designed specifically for aromatherapy use through inhalation, using 100% pure essential oils free from synthetic fragrance, parabens, SLS, and petrochemicals, and is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility.

What makes this different from a regular scented plushie?

Unlike a sprayed novelty toy, Maneki Chou Chou uses a genuine essential oil delivery system — natural buckwheat husk infused with pure essential oils — designed to be re-scented and kept for years, not discarded when the scent fades.

Why is it called “Maneki” Chou Chou?

Maneki refers to the Maneki Neko, the beckoning cat of Japanese tradition associated with good fortune and calm. Paired with the Singaporean Chou Chou, the name brings together comfort, culture, and quiet good fortune in one object.

Benefits

The Chou Chou Story

Imagine a comfort object from childhood — something soft and worn that you held close, that smelled like safety. In Singapore, this is called a Chou Chou (臭臭, pronounced "chow chow"), a tradition passed down through generations. Singaporean mothers would fill soft pillows and cloths with natural buckwheat husk, a gentle, grounding material that provided security and warmth.

The name itself is affectionate slang meaning "smelly," because children treasured the familiar personal scent of their beloved objects. That emotional connection to scent and comfort never truly leaves us.

Hysses has reimagined this heritage for today. Inside each Maneki Chou Chou is a buckwheat husk sachet infused with pure essential oils. You're not buying a novelty plushie. You're reclaiming a ritual that once comforted you, elevated with genuine aromatherapy. One to keep, refresh, and return to again and again.
