When I created Bois de Langbian, I imagined the wind weaving through trees - that fresh, airy feeling of walking home within nature’s quiet symphony. It carried me back to childhood in Bogor: afternoons beneath the canopy, visits to the botanical garden with my parents, where everything smelled green, earthy, and somehow eternal.

I wanted the fragrance to hold that same tension between serenity and nostalgia, where woods feel textured and alive, like running your hand across bark. If this scent could speak, it would say: even as the world changes, memory remains.
