Unveiling "Sen": More Than an Ingredient
At NOTE – The Scent Labβs DIY fragrance collection, βSenβ is our special accord, a harmonious blend of sweet floral scent and the elegant green of tea. βSenβ is the result of a long waiting process of the perfumer to keep in touch with the lotus flower from its first bloom to the moment of withering to capture the holistic scent of the flower. The scent of lotus flowers is often described as gentle and elegant. Bringing a feeling of comfort and freshness. Lotus flowers, with their elegant beauty and gentle scent, are often used to describe something gentle and pure, creating a feeling of relaxation and comfort for the person smelling them.
In Vietnamese tradition, lotus is a symbol of purity and enlightenment. The lotus has entered the spiritual life of the Vietnamese people, present in rituals, offerings, and temple decorations. The flower appears in sacred ceremonies with holistic settings and creates an elegant atmosphere for the whole room; its bright pink color brings the youth, and its delicate yellow pistil brings a soft scent to the surroundings, creating that specific aura around the flower.Β
