The house
ChuJian初柬
A contemporary vision of Chinese niche perfumery, where each fragrance transposes a place, a gesture or a raw material of China into a perfume extract.
Landscapes of China
From the snow-capped peaks of Cangshan and Changbai to the roses of the Summer Palace and the Dan Cong oolong of the Phoenix Mountains — each perfume is named after a place or a cultural reference of China.
International noses
The compositions are signed by renowned perfumers — Anne Flipo, Caroline Dumur, Maxime Exler, Mathilde Bijaoui, Ralf Schwieger — who translate Chinese imagery into modern extracts.
Extrait concentration
Highly concentrated perfume extracts, built around noble materials — sandalwood, oolong tea, iris, ambergris — and woody, oriental and citrus accords designed for depth and longevity.
The signature
