The Gold Standard of Oud: Why Vietnamese Agarwood Is So Special

by Syama Wells on Apr 15 2025
Agarwood—known in the world of perfumery and spiritual practice as “liquid gold”—is a fragrant resin formed inside the Aquilaria tree when it becomes naturally infected by a specific mold. This rare process can take decades, and the result is one of the most prized and luxurious scents on Earth: oud.

Strong & Still

by Syama Wells on Apr 10 2025
There is a time of day — usually early, when the kettle has only just boiled — where I like to stand quite still. Feet pressed into the wooden floor. The air cool on my skin. Not moving yet, not stretching, not lifting. Just standing. Breathing.

Lạc Long: Vietnamese Pure Agarwood Incense

There are days when the air calls for quiet. A moment not filled with noise, but with space—still and hushed, like a bowl of cool water left by the windowsill. Today was one of those days. I opened the window a little and the early light crept in, filtered through leaves just beginning to soften with the season. I lit a stick of Lạc Long.

Magnolias in Bloom: A Fragrant Spring Awakening

by Syama Wells on Apr 01 2025
There is a moment in early spring when the world shifts. The last grip of winter loosens, and suddenly, the streets are awash with magnolia blooms. They arrive almost overnight—great waxy petals, pale as cream, or blushing pink like the first warmth of the sun on bare skin. Against a washed-out English sky, they glow, a fleeting spectacle before the wind steals them away, scattering them across garden paths and pavements like silk. Their beauty is brief, but it commands attention, stopping even the busiest passerby in their tracks to gaze up in quiet admiration.

by Syama Wells on Mar 22 2025
There is a quiet kind of waiting that comes with this time of year. The last of winter’s bite has faded, but spring still feels hesitant, lingering just beyond reach. The days stretch a little longer, the air softens, and yet, the real shift has not quite arrived. It is a season of in-between, of knowing something new is coming but not yet seeing it in full bloom.
