Nanyang

Spice, green tea, musk and amber all sit at the forefront of Nanyang, a 2021 fragrance from Maison de L'Asie by Francois Merle-Baudoin, with citrus brightness and a floral touch alongside.

Lemon and bergamot open it with a crisp, zesty sparkle, while saffron adds a warm, golden spice. Green tea brings a fresh, leafy calm that defines the heart, softened by jasmine. In the base, incense lends a dry, smoky resinousness, leather a supple texture, and amber with white musk a smooth, warm finish.

Worn by anyone, Nanyang balances freshness and warmth, so it adapts to many settings. The citrus and tea feel right for daytime and warmer weather, while the incense, leather and amber give it enough depth for evenings and cooler months. It should appeal to people who enjoy tea scents but want more spice and resin than a typical fresh fragrance offers, and to those drawn to perfumes that evoke travel.
