Chinese Tobacco – Eau de Parfum – 9ml

Johan Bergelin: “The timeless masterpiece “Apocalypse now” by Francis Ford Coppola takes place in Vietnam in 1969. Major influences for the scent was the powerful scene featuring Aurore Clement and Martin Sheen smoking opium and the classic line “I love the smell of napalm in the morning”. The title of the movie was actually inspired by a button badge popular with hippies in the 1960s saying ”Nirvana now”.

Chinese Tobacco Fragarnce Journey - A Personal Dining Experience

It is long after midnight and the neon signs light up the dark sky in Terengganu, Malaysia. I am close to the chaos of the city, but it is quiet here in the park. I am surrounded by old gigantic trees, enormous vegetation and tree crowns. I open the doors of the wooden colonial building and enter the traditional Chinese restaurant. The air is filled with wonderful aromas and spices from the kitchen area. A man is sleeping in his chair while resting his head on the table. A group of men is playing cards while smoking under the fluorescent light. Women engage in loud conversations while chopping fresh spices and a small child sleeps in a basket at the end of the room. A TV screen presents the latest music videos from London. The kitchen ́s gasburners fill the air with a burnt scent. East meets west.
