Back to the fragrance

Atelier I · The making

Before it became fragrance, it was a temperature.

We began with the tension inside this impression, then removed every accord that described the place too literally.

Composition notes

Three materials. One remembered atmosphere.

The materials do not sit in layers. They interrupt, reveal and recede until the atmosphere feels alive.

Opening

Sandalwood, aged paper, and a wisp of ink — afternoon light on the lattice.

02

On skin

Sandalwood, aged paper, and a wisp of ink — afternoon light on the lattice.

Grey brick hutong and the slow burn of incense.
