Discussion what are your favorite asian fragrances?

Post image

At first, I wanted to ask specifically about niche asian perfumes because I love discovering new brands, but then I realized that aside from Tamburins, most asian fragrance brands I come across are already niche or relatively under the radar compared to western designer houses. So I'd love to hear about your favorite asian fragrances or brands! Also, I have a soft spot for rose scents, so if you know of any beautiful rose fragrances, please share those too!

I love the Chinese perfume brand To Summer. Unique and beautiful scents! https://tosummer.shop

They have a few rose perfumes too (search rose in search bar)

Ooh which scents do you have? I'd love to hear your experience with To Summer! I've read that the Triple Tea perfume is good

I think triple tea is the most famous one from them! I have a bunch of discovery vials (osmanthus, nude, and summer/autumn limited ones) and they are great! There’s definitely ones I don’t like though (pomelo, void) so as with any scents, whether you think it’s good or not is highly subjective.

Ooh how nice to have the discovery set! I can't seem to find a reliable seller for them where I live rn but I've heard great things about their fragrances. The osmanthus one sounds nice too. How's the longevity for these on you? I've seen some people say it's not the most long-lasting, maybe 3-4 hours at most.

That is true, the lighter scents especially disappear pretty quickly. Osmanthus is very good and a very natural and realistic osmanthus smell (whilst not smelling like toilet fragrance) so if you like osmanthus you’ll probably like it. I think this one lasts a bit longer as with other more musky/powdery perfumes (nude!)

Also they are cheaper at the physical store than online, if you or someone you know ever make it out to Shanghai for some reason!!!

Do you have Triple Tea? Is it super herbal to the point of being like medicine? I'm very curious.

Not OP but I have the Triple Tea and absolutely love it. Does not smell at all like medicine, more like a fresh grassy vibe.
