Jason Lee, a Singaporean entrepreneur and perfumer, relies on sourcing ingredients from various countries to create luxury ambient scents for his perfume products. From orchids in Thailand to teas in China, flowers in Malaysia, patchouli in Indonesia, and agarwood in Laos and Cambodia, Lee's process highlights the interdependence of markets in the region.
Even the high-quality packaging, like glass bottles and atomizers imported from China, plays a crucial role in the final product. The nozzles are specifically designed to blend air and liquid into a fine mist, showcasing the importance of each country's specialties and capabilities.
According to Lee, this intricate process has emphasized the vital partnership between China and Southeast Asian countries, going beyond just being markets or locations.
