《檳榔花夜 Betel Blossom Night|在氣味中遇見一場不說話的溫柔》
夜裡的風輕輕吹過,轉角飄來檳榔花和玉蘭的氣味,淡淡的。
晚香玉的甜慢慢散開,混著鳶尾柔柔的韻味,皮革和菸草藏在後頭,輕微,卻讓人停下來。
最後,是檀香和香杉靜靜留著
—— 像一種不說話的溫柔。

《氣味和視覺創作發想》
「檳榔花夜」以台灣記憶中的氣味為靈感,源自於年少時在夜色漸暗的小巷中漫步的回憶。微風中飄散熟悉的夜來香氣味,融合台灣特產低調幽異的檳榔花香,與常見的玉蘭花。尾韻中帶著沉穩的檀香與台灣原生物種-台灣香杉交織,營造出溫潤的氣息,給人一種很溫柔且平靜的獨特韻味。
視覺以檳榔花包覆隨風搖擺的鳶尾花為主體,呼應平常製作檳榔的包裹手法。背景中微粉紫色的晚霞和以夜來香勾勒出的白色雲朵,共同呈現這份對台灣土地的印象連結。
《 Betel Blossom Night| Meeting a Silent Tenderness in Scent》
The night wind gently blew past, and around the corner drifted the scent of betel blossom and White Champak, faint and subtle.
The sweetness of tuberose slowly spread out, mixed with the soft, tender feel of iris; leather and tobacco were hidden behind, slight, yet making you pause.
In the end, sandalwood and cedar quietly remained – Like a tenderness that doesn't speak.

《Scent and Visual Inspiration》
‘Betel Blossom Night’ is inspired by the scents of Taiwan’s memories, drawing from the recollection of strolling through dimly lit alleys at dusk during youth. A gentle breeze carries the sweet scent of tuberose, which intertwines with the unique, ethereal aroma of Taiwanese betel blossoms and the familiar fragrance of white champak. The base notes of rich sandalwood and Taiwanese cedar create a warm, comforting foundation, resulting in a serene and soothing fragrance.
The visual design centres around the betel blossom enveloping the swaying iris flowers, echoing the traditional wrapping techniques used in betel nut preparation. The background, with its soft pink twilight and white clouds outlined by tuberose, collectively reflects the connection to Taiwan’s land.
