The strength of introspection

Hangzhou, in old Jiangnan: rain drums on the banana leaves. The fresh, sweet scent of steamed pear curls around the warmth of sandalwood. In her chambers, a young woman lowers her eyes, turns the pages of a book of poems with her fingertips and lets the rain fall; her heart has long been elsewhere, in a peaceful world that nothing can disturb.

The name

越檀梨苑 is read yuè tán lí yuàn: 越 (yuè), the ancient land of Yue, around Hangzhou; 檀 (tán), sandalwood; 梨 (lí), the pear tree; 苑 (yuàn), the garden. In English: “The sandalwood and pear garden of the land of Yue”.

The olfactory journey

Opening

Chinese pear, as if steamed, apricot kernel and wild sophora flower open onto a fruity, honeyed sweetness.

Heart

Allspice warms the whole; ambergris and oriental lemongrass bring light and depth.

Base

Creamy white sandalwood, cashmeran and Tarakan agarwood form a woody, hushed, meditative base.
