Maison de L’Asie Nanyang is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by François Merle-Baudoin. Nanyang opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Pepper, and Green Tea, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Saffron, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Maison de L’Asie's Nanyang carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some will get an 'iced lemon tea' dream, others a 'fresh tyres' nightmare. It's a divisive scent, blending zesty freshness with a deep, leathery complexity that won't be for everyone.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its long-lasting, strong sillage makes it potentially too much for a quiet office, but it's great for casual wear and dates where you want to make an impression. The clean, fresh opening combined with a refined leather dry-down means it can work for formal events too.

About

Nanyang bursts open with a vibrant, peppery hit of bergamot and lemon, quickly softened by an elegant green tea accord. The heart introduces a sophisticated blend of jasmine, saffron, and a subtle wisp of incense, adding a touch of exotic warmth. As it settles, a smooth, nuanced leather emerges, grounded by creamy sandalwood and vanilla, rounded off with a clean musk that lingers beautifully.
