Under the Litchi Tree - Epilogue

Description

During their childhood, Joshua and Izak lived in an HDB terrace on Jalan Bahagia, where a chiku tree stood in their front yard. The tree played an integral role in their early memories, as they would run around it on sunny days and pick its ripe fruits to eat.

After moving out in 2006, they never had the chance to taste the fruit again, and over time, its scent and flavour became faint in their memories. To capture the sense of freedom from their childhood, they substituted the chiku with their favourite fruit, litchi, and created Under the Litchi Tree.

Under the Litchi Tree also pays tribute to Singapore’s oldest and the only litchi tree to be conferred Heritage Tree status. Over a century old, this remarkable tree, perched atop Mount Rosie, has stood since the days when Singapore was merely a small fishing port.

About Epilogue

Founded in 2024, Epilogue is a contemporary Singaporean fragrance house that crafts scents as studies of place, memory, and lived experience. Inspired by everyday moments, each perfume is composed from scratch as a self-contained narrative, translating familiar sights and smells, fleeting moments, mundane routines, everyday objects, and emotional landscapes into modern fine fragrance.

Approaching perfumery through a distinct lens, Epilogue weaves literature and storytelling into every composition, creating scents that unfold like chapters and settle with quiet resolve. It is an insistence that the closing note carries as much significance as the slow unfolding that precedes it, designed for those who understand that how a story ends is just as important as how it begins.
