Kuramoto Bijin Hakumai Ferment Milk

It depends on your skin. If you have normal to slightly dry skin, you can use this alone. If you have very dry skin, you might want to add an occlusive (like a sleeping mask or facial oil) on top at night. Oily skin types often use it alone and find it's enough.

Yes, but it's a mild fermented rice scent, not strong alcohol. Most reviewers describe it as a light, slightly sweet sake smell that fades quickly after application. If you're sensitive to fragrance, this is natural from the rice ferment ingredients, not added perfume.

It's a lightweight milky lotion, thicker than water but thinner than a cream. Absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or heavy. The texture is similar to Hada Labo lotions but slightly richer due to the rice bran oil.
