Stories and blending scents

Listening to stories, and blending scents to evoke those treasured moments.

Hazy Days Are Back

It happens every year. The sky turns white to grey, and the air starts smelling like smoke. It’s become a regular conversation topic over meals, social media, at meetings… The haze is back. What’s the PSI today? Doesn’t it smell terrible… Do you wanna go on a quick trip? (The last one is always me :D)

Why body oils feel better

Our body oils are blended from therapeutic grade essential oils, so you’ll feel calmer and revived from your first whiff.

Learning furoshiki, the art of Japanese gift wrap

And it’s really an art. Whether you’re wrapping simple gifts with cloth, or using elaborately printed paper fastened with just one piece of tape, the Japanese style of gift wrap is deceptively simple. Rush, and you’ll end up with a mess. It takes patience, lots of trial and error, and rather nimble fingers to get it right. Youtube videos are also great 😀

Cooler days with peppermint hydrosol

When RealFeel is 44°C, all I wanna do is jump into the pool. That’s not gonna happen, but this face and body mist with peppermint hydrosol, geranium and lavender feels minty fresh 👌😎🍃

We’re with Soozip at Orchard Central today!

Lavender for a calmer, cleaner day

Lavender reminds me of childhood. Playing dress-up with my mum’s accessories and perfume. It’s a familiar scent that always makes me feel at home.

Add a few drops to your body lotion to soothe frazzled skin and feel calmer. Or apply a few drops of diluted lavender oil on your pulse points and warm some between your hands. Inhale, and enjoy a moment of peace 🙏

Japanese fountain pens and Chinese poetry

I’m weak for Japanese fountain pens and rows of ink in all colors, feel-good aromatherapy face mists, and gold paper with brush strokes and the finest print || 花開。心也開。美好。一曰釆 ||

Choosing scents is all about remembering the moments that matter 💛

Plants and humans are meant to be together

“Their out-breath is our in-breath, our exhale, their inhale.” That’s always been true, but we often forget how people and plants are meant for each other. It’s been quite an adventure, uncovering their secrets 🌼
