A tender homage to the warmth of daily ritual and the soul of a city. Taipei opens with the comforting aroma of ground soy and steamed glutinous rice, their nutty richness mingling with earthy taro - a trinity of grains, beans, and roots whispering tradition.
The heart simmers like morning air steeped in soy milk and the quiet labor of taro dough rolled into shape, capturing the gentle gourmand hum that drifts through market alleys from sunrise to dusk. As the day cools, the scent turns inward - wooden beams soaked in time, concrete walls softened by memory, and alleyways dyed with the rooty hush of bygone kitchens.
In its base, Taipei lingers with the sacred hush of temple smoke by the night markets - flour-dusted counters, rusted gates, and the soft humanity of a lived-in cityscape. An intimate, nostalgic scent - woven with warmth, rooted in place, and etched with quiet resilience.

Golden honey, dark plum, dewy gardenia anchored with a very soft woody base - this is a seriously beautiful fragrance. I read all the reviews and ordered this sample and almost didn’t want it to be so lovely because of the price of a full bottle - and I think I'm going to have to order a larger sample before I commit to one just to be 100% sure.
