A sensorial archive of historical trade winds, this hand-blended scent combines sweet lychee, warm soft white florals, and a rich coffee base.

Design & Inspiration
Design & Inspiration
Singgah draws inspiration from the ancient maritime ports of Southeast Asia, which once served as vibrant crossroads where spices, aromatics, and stories were carried across seas by monsoon winds. Translating these historic trading routes into a comforting, multi-layered sensory experience, this scent honors the concept of singgah - the beauty of a brief, restful pause amidst life's journeys

Crafting Singgah takes time and iteration. Here’s a look at our fragrance oil trials as we experimented with different aromatic profiles to achieve a pleasant, consistent scent throw.
Testing out scent saturation techniques. Pictured here is a custom metal rig built by our manufacturing partner to test fragrance oil absorption before scaling up for production.
After soaking to absorb the fragrance formulation, the incense sticks are lifted to drip dry, a crucial step to ensure an even coating before curing.
