Amidst the glow of flickering lanterns and the hush of ancient temple halls, Suanni silently watches — a mythical beast wreathed in fragrant smoke, embodying smoulder and devotion in its breath. Inspired by the legend of Suanni, this scent composition captures the interplay of billowing smoke, opulent florals and supple leather, weaving a delicate balance between “yin” and “yang”, light and shadow. In Chinese mythology, Suanni, one of the nine revered offspring of the Loong, is known for its profound affinity with smoke. Its image has long adorned historical Chinese incense censers, a symbol of its deep connection to Chinese scent culture and its mythological association as the protector and guardian of sacred smoke.
The scent composition intriguingly juxtaposes an opulent bouquet of rich, creamy and luminous pomelo blossom, jasmine and tuberose, against a deep, smoky backdrop of leather and smouldering embers. Precious natural enfleurage extracts of Fuzhou jasmine and tuberose are incorporated into the composition, adding depth and luxurious nuances, and portraying a vivid and three-dimensional floral heart. Joining the leather and smoke is lapsang souchong tea, a distinctive Chinese black tea from Fujian, traditionally smoked over pine wood to impart its deep, smoky character. We captured the very essence of lapsang souchong tea, allowing it to work in synergy with florals and leather, bridging and harmonizing the contrast between light and dark notes. As the scent continues to unfold, a luscious layer of natural iris absolute and orris butter emerges, weaving a velvety elegance seamlessly throughout the composition. Intertwining with the irone-rich iris and orris, white sandalwood, Chinese cliff cedar, patchouli, and amber create a complex, creamy, and woody foundation, reminiscent of the finest classical Chinese incenses. One of the highlights of this scent composition is the artful use of animalic materials. Castoreum enhances the leather facet, adding an unusual yet sophisticated sweetness, while seamlessly merging with the cuddly, enveloping warmth of ambergris and musk, creating a rich, sensual foundation that lingers with elegance.
Due to the nature and quality of the raw materials used, the scent will continue to age beautifully in the bottle with time when properly stored. It is normal to have some sediments/separations in this scent due to the nature of the raw materials used. Just gently shake well before applying it.
