A space is defined by more than its physical boundaries – ambient scent shapes how a room feels the moment you step inside. For the next edition of the Journey East Hands On! series, Singaporean artisanal scent studio A Thing of Sense leads us in a day of learning and experiential discovery, exploring how scent interacts with interior environments, tactile furniture, and raw materials.
Whether you want to drop in or dive deep into the craft, the day is split into two experiences:
All-Day Scent Bar (12pm – 6pm, open to all):
The Journey East showroom will host an open scent bar for visitors to explore throughout the day. Take your time discovering A Thing of Sense's signature scent range and discover how scent complements the textures, materials, and atmosphere of a living space.
Guided Scent Experience (Ticketed Sessions):
An experiential, hands-on workshop led by Cherine Wee, founder of A Thing of Sense, exploring how scent shapes the atmosphere of a space. Through guided smelling exercises and an introduction to scent families, discover how scent unfolds through texture and materials.
Complete the experience by blending your own bespoke room scent from A Thing of Sense's signature 'Flameless' range, paired with an exclusive dBodhi reclaimed teak wood diffuser tile – a limited-edition keepsake available only through this workshop.
