Behind the Scent

Beautiful, alluring, haunting , and unforgettable, perfume has always been an art form that stirs longing. Long ago, it transcended the confines of being merely an ‘ornament’. Perfume gives rise to a language of its own - an invisible voice that cannot be seen with the eyes or touched by the skin, but is elevated through the senses of smell and the resonance between mind and heart. Our story starts behind the scent...

WHEN FRAGRANCE TELLS STORIES

Every perfume creation is woven from stories, perspectives, and memories – where words fall silent, fragrance takes their place, telling each tale through an artistic lens, more evocative, more poetic, and infinitely more fragrant.

WHEN FRAGRANCE TELLS STORIES

...

Every perfume creation is woven from stories, perspectives, and memories – where words fall silent, fragrance takes their place, telling each tale through an artistic lens, more evocative, more poetic, and infinitely more fragrant.

The power of fragrance stands equal to language, able to tell stories that belong solely to you. Every perfume ever created carries within it an exclusive story, tied to the memories of its creator, whispering softly to the world with the breath of remembrance.

The history of perfume

Beginning as a ritual to ward off evil spirits in ancient Greek civilization, then serving as a way to mask unpleasant odors during the Middle Ages, perfume has quietly walked alongside human history. And at last, it became a universal essence, where anyone can discover a reflection of themselves within its scent.Beyond being just an accessory to elevate appearances, perfume is truly a realm of complexity, poetry, and artistry waiting to be unraveled. For every note carries an emotion, a tale that longs to be heard and understood.

‘I never knew there were this many fragrances.
It must be really exciting!’

Behind The Scent

The evolution of perfume

Long before perfume stepped into the world of fashion and was swept into mass production, it was an art of nature, and crafted with rarity and devotion. From treasured herbs deep in the forest to countless delicate blossoms, and later, the daring allure of musk and ambergris, each creation was a testament to patience and reverence.

In this day and age, the hunting of animals for perfume has vanished, replaced by a deeper reverence for nature and the balance of Earth’s ecosystems. The journey of fragrance has mirrored the rhythm of society itself, sometimes flowing in quiet harmony, sometimes leaping forward with daring innovation. As synthetic notes emerged, they expanded the palette of creation, marking a new golden age where perfume thrives in endless diversity.

Through countless milestones in fragrance kingdom, Xệ distilled memories into a single scent — for fragrance, like sight, awakens stories within us.

Scent and the Symphony of Senses

Based on numerous evidence-backed studies, scientists have shown that scent can directly affect the limbic system – the brain’s center for memory and emotion. This explains why a familiar fragrance can instantly transport us back to a moment years ago, preserving every detail, every action, and every feeling intact. ‘75% of our daily emotions are influenced by smell,’ – Martin Lindstrom, consumer behavior expert.
