Chasing Scents is an Australian niche perfume brand founded by Sandy Wong in 2021. The brand has a total of four perfumes, with the earliest edition created in 2021 and the newest in 2023, all crafted by Sandy Wong herself.
The brand is dedicated to capturing the essence of tea through fragrance, inspired by personal experiences of conversations and bonding over tea with loved ones. Their scents are modern yet deeply rooted in cultural traditions. Each formula is developed in-house and produced in small batches, using a variety of self-distilled teas, the finest natural extracts, aroma compounds, and resins, seamlessly combining chemistry and nature.
What sets Chasing Scents apart is its use of real tea extracts. While many mainstream tea perfumes use other notes to mimic the tea aroma, Chasing Scents performs tinctures and soxhlet extractions on dried whole flower buds and loose tea leaves in multiple cycles under strict conditions to obtain aromatic concentrates, resulting in realistic and true tea fragrances.
For example, their "Tea Service" EDP is a blend centered around oolong tea. It opens with a jasmine - accented top note, transitions to osmanthus and goji berry in the middle, and concludes with a touch of musk in the base, offering a distinctly Eastern scent profile and a warm, cozy feeling. Another creation, "Rain Tea", features a green floral scent. The top notes include chrysanthemum, wattle, and chamomile, the heart notes are tea leaves and rain, and the base notes consist of barley, honey, and longan, creating a calming aroma that satisfies the yearning for a warm cup of tea on a rainy day.
In summary, Chasing Scents offers a unique olfactory experience by integrating the charm of tea into perfumes, making it a brand worth exploring for fragrance enthusiasts seeking something different.
