Private Teahouse

Private Teahouse is a fragrance inspired by a peaceful location and the feeling of stepping out of the daily world as one enters a teahouse to rest. Peer into the windows of a Private Teahouse, the aroma of smoky black tea seeps out of the wooden frames, diffusing into the mountain fog. A warm invitation to the fragrant sanctuary separate from the daily world. This perfume centres around the deep aroma profiles of the Lapsang Souchong tea. Produced in the Wuyi Mountains, Lapsang Souchong is typically known for its wood-smoked black tea flavour.  Featuring tea extracts made in-house from precious loose leaf. The process requiring delicate control of extraction conditions and cycles in a Soxhlet apparatus to collect an aromatic concentrate - rarely found in mainstream perfume.

Modern in composition, yet rich in cultural roots; all formulas are developed in-house and made in small batches using a variety of self-distilled teas, the finest natural extracts, aroma compounds and resins. Making use of both naturals and syntheses in their creations -- chemistry and nature combined. Tinctures and soxhlet extraction of dried whole flower buds and loose tea leaves are performed over multiple cycles under strict conditions to obtain an aromatic concentrate.  The founder, Sandy, grew up curious about her mother's miniature perfume collection from Hong Kong. Today, she is a scientist with a PhD in Chemistry and research focused on nanoparticles. It was during her candidature she experimented with scents as well as being an avid tea drinker.
