Scents of the Spice Route
Singapore has a rich history as a global hub of trade, and its involvement in the spice trade has been particularly influential.
Singapore’s strategic location made it a key stop on the ancient maritime Silk Road, where merchants from China, India, and the Arab world traded goods, including highly prized spices such as nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, and pepper. These spices weren’t just used for cooking—they were essential in medicine, rituals, and perfumery, offering a rich history for exploration through scent.
Immerse yourself in this fragrance-making workshop inspired by the spices that passed through Singapore’s ports. Each attendee will create a custom perfume using historical ingredients like clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
