Launched in 2023 by One Day, Taipei is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by perfumer Michael Wong. The composition opens with the creamy notes of soy milk and taro, followed by rice, which together create a lactonic and gourmand profile that feels both comforting and familiar. At its heart, iris adds an unexpected floral complexity, while guaiac wood, sandalwood, vetiver, and musk form a base that is woody, powdery, and musky. This fragrance captures the essence of Taipei's street food culture — the warmth and richness of traditional flavors combined with subtle floral notes.
