ORCHARD SCENT STORY
persian rose + moss
Once home to fruit orchards and pepper farms, Orchard is now a modern garden of earthly delights where style and sophistication effortlessly share space with heritage shophouses.
Orchard Road is Singapore's vibrant retail heart, a captivating blend of old-world charm and futuristic architecture. From luxury brands to homegrown labels, Orchard Road offers something for everyone. But there's more to this district than meets the eye.
Orchard, like a majestic swan gliding on a lake, hides a bustling underbelly. Day or night, the underground maze of walkways buzzes with an energy fueled by the city's bright lights and sights.
the scent story
our orchard scented candle
Honey has called Orchard home for the last 8 years. Drawn to the vibrancy, buzz and energy of Singapore's most iconic boulevards, Honey wanted to create a scent that both honours her Persian heritage and embodies the balance of feminine and masculine, old and new by elevating the senses with a blend of classic rose and deep moss.
"I've never been drawn to florals but with Persian heritage, the scent and sacredness of roses has always captivated me. I instantly knew I wanted to use rose to represent the femininity, elegance and luxury of Orchard. Bringing in the masculine woody notes of the moss balanced the scent and draws together both the beauty and bustling boldness of Orchard."
The beauty of Orchard lies in its contradictions. Embodying this, we worked with our scentmaker Honey, to pair the luxury and refinement of rose with a deep earthy moss to encapsulate the balance of feminine and masculine, new and old, chic and cultural. This Singapore candle is rose from stem to petal with fresh green notes balancing the luxe floral.
Orchard is classic Singapore, where the old world charm of Emerald Hill sits juxtaposed against famously futuristic-looking malls. Just like a swan sitting gracefully on lake, it’s underneath where all the action happens. Day or night, the underground maze is constantly buzzing with an energy that only bright lights and city sights can garner.
