REMAINS of a GESTURE

Introducing: Unclaimed Hour Candle There is a version of you still getting lost in a tiny world underfoot. Nothing was required of you. Not even a reason. The flowers nobody planted. The ones that showed up anyway, in the cracks, growing without permission. Turns out they have a smell worth getting close to. This is for the days you need to be reminded of her again. The girl with no other plans but to be.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ bitter chrysanthemum greens and freshly snapped dandelion stems, softened with herbal artemisia and sweet oxalis buds, anchored by the manicured earth. galbanum, oxalis buds, dandelion stems chrysanthemum leaf (茼蒿), lilac, artemisia  dry mulch flakes, limestone  8oz/227g available link in bio please allow 1-2 weeks for shipping

[Still Available] Introducing: Worn For The Wind A solid perfume held in a hand-carved 925 silver gourd pendant with milky jade beads 
This pendant is a grounding object meant to be worn close, felt in weight and scent, and kept near like a quiet companion. Suspended from a vine-like chain with pale jade and coral, it becomes a personal keepsake of stillness, presence, and anchored elegance. The fragrance is warm and indolic, with an antique richness. Bright bergamot mint, jasmine sambac, and honeybush tea, melt slowly against the heat of skin. Recalling something once treasured, its beauty is indispensable and precious in times like this. Notes: Bergamot Mint, Jasmine Sambac, Honeybush Tea, Vetiver, Cistus, Cedar Created for the @komune.space group show with @tialillian777 *on view and available for purchase starting 8/22 at Komune

Her affection is mesmerizing—but it leaves only the bittersweet ache of yearning for something that was never real. Top: Salt Foam, Sea Water, Petitgrain Mid: Seaweed Absolute, Algae, Jasmine Sambac Bottom: Ambergris, Orris, Ambrette, Benzoin *genuine vintage coral skeleton cap* 60ml Created for the @komune.space Group Show featuring 12 one-of-a-kind works.

I realize that many of you do not know me or my background. A new portrait photo calls for a brief introduction🤍 I have always championed complexity and imagination over functionality and simplicity. For most of my life, I have been told to be practical. Study hard, work hard, and follow the manual to optimize your chances of stability. As an only child, I spent a lot of time alone in my head. I’ve always been the quiet observer and sensory analyst. While I still cannot make much sense of the world, I am choosing to dedicate my craft to creating my own. Growing up with a multicultural perspective lead me to question the topic of beauty. I chose to study cosmetics and fragrance as a means to be near my obsession with art and beauty, while trying to stay within the boundaries of commercialization (trying to be practical again). That is where my fascination with scent really blossomed. I mastered several nose training and cosmetic chemistry courses during my bachelor’s degree, all while tuning my unique taste and style for perfumes. Soon after, I dove headfirst into product development under large-scale beauty companies for a few years. I have since developed a meticulous approach to designing personal and home fragrances. I love the innovation process so dearly. That is why I started REMAINS of a GESTURE: to be a personal platform and outlet to create and share my ideas freely with others. Becoming an independent perfumer has allowed me to communicate beyond words, and offer a bridge between my dreams and reality. I feel lucky to be able to share this with the world, even in tiny ways. photo: @jasminegaroosi

The design story also stems from my Taiwanese roots and echoes my deep passion for treasures of the past. I hope you love it as much as I do🤍. photos taken from The National Palace Museum in Taipei.
