Chasing Scents Slow World is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Sandy Wong. Slow World opens with Pu-Erh, settles into a heart of Saffron, Dragon's Blood, and Malt, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Incense. Chasing Scents's Slow World carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly divisive brew - this one's either a warm, malty tea dream or a syrupy, cloying nightmare. If you want a deep, sweet, smoky scent that commands attention, you might be in for a treat. But don't expect a straightforward tea; vanilla and resins lead the show.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its rich, sweet, and smoky profile, make it less suitable for an office but excellent for date nights or a cosy evening out. It's too heavy for sport and a touch too gourmand-leaning for most formal events.

About

Slow World opens with a dark, earthy Pu'er tea note, quickly joined by the exotic spice of saffron and the unique, slightly medicinal sweetness of dragon's blood resin, all rounded out by a rich, bready malt. As it dries, a creamy vanilla emerges, blending with smooth sandalwood and a contemplative whisper of incense, creating a warm, resinous, and deeply comforting drydown. It’s a journey from earthy brew to sweet, smoky embrace.
