1. A Glimmer in the Deluge (Late Autumn, 2008) During a sudden downpour in the Grand Canyon, psychologist Dr. Lin Qi sought shelter and found Ethan Wilder, a renowned but broken perfumer. Reeling from heartbreak and severe depression, Ethan clutched an unfinished formula meant to “capture dawn.” Lin Qi didn’t offer platitudes. As storm clouds parted, revealing defiant light beams, he observed: “Psychology and perfumery are alike – both are prisms deconstructing light to illuminate the invisible within the heart.” 2. Wilderness Companions: Prisms of Light (21 Days) Ethan accepted Lin Qi’s companionship. Hiking through the canyons, Lin Qi recognized Ethan’s “hyper-empathy” – his ability to *feel* scents intensely, now amplifying his pain. Lin Qi proposed the “Scent-Emotion Anchoring Theory”: scent shouldn’t just mimic nature, but be an “editable emotional program” to awaken inner tranquility. This resonated deeply with Ethan, shifting his view to constructing an “emotional coordinate system.” One night by the fire, Ethan offered his wrist, sprayed with a new blend. It opened with crisp, electric ozone (canyon mist), transitioned to juniper and frankincense’s “sharp warmth” (an undercurrent beneath ice), and settled into the mellow depth of Lin Qi’s aged Pu’er tea (earthy stability). “《Aurora Break》,” Ethan named it, voice trembling. “Depression is endless night. Remember, the most spectacular auroras are born from violent collisions.” This scent was his breakthrough. 3. Bottled Aurora: Fragrant Soul Remedy They founded “Aurora.Glen”, merging the “Glacial Glen” meeting place with the “Aurora” symbolizing Ethan’s rebirth. Lin Qi integrated his “α brainwave intervention model,” making each fragrance a precise “emotional modulator.” Burning Snow“pairs fiery pepper with cool cedarwood to spark sensation in the numb. The brand’s core philosophy endures: “Life is a journey; peaks and valleys are its landscape. When your feet can’t reach your heart’s destination, may this fragrance guide you through the seasons.” “All emotions are legitimate terrains on the soul’s map. We prepare the fragrant remedy to traverse it.”
