XYLIFE

• The perfumer intends to condense the misty aura of Oriental ink wash and the vitality of plants into an olfactory scroll that flows through three realms.

  The fragrance notes resemble a dynamic ink wash scroll: the Ink Swallow soars from the pine smoke, glides past the sparse wintersweets by the cold pond and ink-like lotuses on orchid-covered islets, and finally fades into the deep mountains with layers of verdant pines. 

  
  The scent structure takes "dryness, wetness, density, and lightness" as its framework, pine fragrance as its soul, and ink charm as its essence.

  It condenses the "Yige" (the transcendental style in Chinese literati aesthetics) into the swallow-shaped lid with black-and-white gradient: When it spreads its wings, it is ink; when it folds them, it becomes fragrance. 

  Where pine resin condenses into fragrance, ink wash ages together with time.
