Hangzhou
— Longing

A scent-portrait of the West Lake at dawn. The crisp bitterness of Longjing tea leaves meets the aquatic breath of willow and the silence of ancient stones.

The Vessel

Muted Viridian

Crafted from hand-blown glass, the bottle captures the specific translucency of the lake's water after a spring rain.

The Ritual

"Apply sparingly to the pulse points at dusk, allowing the mist to settle as the city cools."

A linear fragrance that does not shout, but lingers like a memory of a journey not yet taken.

The Architecture of Silence

Longing was composed over three years, tracing the exact chemical signature of the Longjing terraces during the Qingming festival.

It is a scent defined by what is absent—no heavy musks, no synthetic florals. Only the raw, green vitality of the mountain air.
