Scent Profile
In the spirit of exploration, perfumer Frank Voelkl and aromag create "Nightlight Cup(夜光杯)," a fragrance that embodies the essence of "New Oriental(新·东方调Sinori-ental)" scents. It traces the origins of "Chinese olfactory aesthetics" back to the exotic spices brought to China via the Silk Road. This perfume is not just a scent but a voyage through time, blending the rich, full-bodied aroma of wine with the milky smoothness of sandalwood and the nutty warmth of sesame. The notes linger like a distant memory, inviting wearers on a sensory journey through history.
