Descrizione

Tanghulu opens with a tangy, crisp burst of red fruit, where the tartness of hawthorn meets the glossy sweetness of glazed sugar. Lily of the valley brings a fresh, delicate floral brightness, while black pepper adds a subtle spicy edge. As it warms, the sugar caramelizes, giving the fruit a richer, mouth-watering quality. Beneath it, Java and Haiti vetivers, patchouli and gurjum balsam unfold into darker woody and smoky facets, like fireworks lingering in the air. Tonka bean absolute sweetens the drydown into a warm finish with good longevity. Tanghulu is an elegant, gentle skin scent.

Tanghulu leans feminine but, like every Scentario fragrance, was created to be worn by anyone.

All scent recommendations are based on comparisons within similar olfactive families. Please note that longevity and projection vary depending on skin chemistry, environment, and climate.

Packaging Details
Scentario turns each fragrance into a story. Every bottle takes the shape of an open book: the front reads as a metallic cover, carrying artwork drawn from Tanghulu’s own story, while lines across the back echo the edges of turned pages. The metallic magnetic cap recalls an old ink holder. Each 60 ml bottle is handcrafted and arrives in a box shelved like a volume from a library — an abstract on the outside, and within, a leaflet unfolding the full narrative.

Story

Tanghulu is a Chinese delicacy of hawthorn berries coated in a crisp shell of caramelized sugar, traditionally enjoyed during festive occasions. Perfumer Marine Ipert first tasted it in Shanghai on New Year's Eve — the sugar cracking between her teeth, the tart fruit underneath, fireworks still hanging smoky in the cold air. A small pleasure, noticed in passing, that stayed with her long after the night ended.

The full story of each scent lives inside its box. Here, only a glimpse.

“Shanghai on New Year’s Eve — streets glowing with red lanterns, alive with music and firecrackers, a tide of voices rising into the cold night air. The air was rich with the festive aroma as she took a curious bite. The sugar shell cracked, releasing a taste at once celebratory and new, yet strangely familiar — like coming home to a place you didn’t know you had missed.”

A FRAGMENT OF SCENTARIO

Tanghulu, composed by Marine Ipert, is one of the scenarios that make up
Scentario —a fragment that followed its own path and only later found the others.

Scentario was never conceived as a collection. Its fragrances emerged as separate 
fragments, developed between 2019 and 2026. Each began with its own inspiration, 
story, and direction. Some took years to find their form; others came quickly.

There was no predefined style to follow, no place to fill, no collection to complete.
And yet, over time, something connected them. Not a common formula or aesthetic,
but a shared fascination with life: the people we meet, the emotions we feel, 
and the moments that stay with us. Separate fragments slowly became one world.
This became Scentario.
