Few poets possessed Su Shi’s boundless optimism. Exiled to Huangzhou, he didn’t wallow in despair but embraced the simple, honest life of a farmer. To call it self-consolation misses the point—it was, as he said, “heroism in loving life, even after seeing its harsh truths.”

This fragrance, anchored by Hainan agarwood, reflects Su Shi’s essence, a scent he cherished his entire life. He described it as "tough as gold, smooth as jade, strong as crane bones, and resilient as dragon sinews." Frankincense and geranium evoke the vast, sweeping tides of life, while rock rose, sweetgrass, and cliff cypress call forth the haunting beauty of dreams—fleeting, yet unforgettable.

Looking back, how could the brilliance of a soul like Su Shi’s ever fade beneath the dust of history?
