Nanyang—an ancient term for the South China Seas—captures founder Elizabeth Liau’s modern homecoming to Singapore and her redefinition of Asian identity. Rooted in heritage yet strikingly contemporary, this androgynous tea fragrance draws inspiration from the South Seas and the Chinese diaspora.
Hazy black tea anchors the scent with depth and culture, while warm green tea and malt recall golden days of travel and trade. Jasmine, white florals, and bergamot bring a crisp, linen-like elegance, contrasted by bold leather that adds a play of shadow and light. Nanyang is both a journey and a statement: a soulful return to one’s roots expressed through refined modern perfumery.
The smoky allure of black tea mingles with the warmth of green tea and malt, wrapping you in a gentle embrace. Bright jasmine, crisp white florals, and zesty bergamot add a light touch as bold leather weaves through, grounding the scent with depth and intrigue.
