OTOLA

As a representative sensory art space in the Aranya community, OTOLA has a unique charm that far exceeds that of ordinary retail stores. The following are five core reasons worth a special visit, combining design aesthetics, sensory experience and cultural value for in-depth analysis:   🌿 1. Six-sense immersion: the world's first "olfactory museum" and cross-sensory laboratory Olfaction poetics OTOLA is a collection of niche salon fragrances around the world, with a selection of 30+ international pioneer fragrance brands, such as French artist perfumery MEMO, Italian naturalist brand Olfactive Studio, etc. Behind each perfume is the story philosophy of the perfumer - for example, the "Aranya Limited Fragrance" that reconstructs the memory of the Bohai Sea with seaweed and amber. Professional perfumers guide guests to analyze the fragrance layer by layer, from the citrus top note to the woody aftertaste, and experience an immersive journey like "reading a liquid poem". Resonance of taste and hearing Daytime coffee and nighttime wine: 90+ single-origin hand-brewed coffees are provided during the day, and the jasmine fragrance of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe forms an olfactory and taste duet with the fragrance in the store; at night, it transforms into a whiskey bar, and special cocktails such as "The Botanist's Daughter" are served in red peppers, embellished with bacon and rosemary, echoing the plant elements in the perfume. Soundscape design: The vinyl record player plays experimental electronic music or white noise of the waves, which is synchronized with the rhythm of the fragrance release, forming an "audible smell narrative". 🏛️ 2. Spatial aesthetics: Art Deco fantasy and coastal utopia Architectural visual impact Designed by Chris Shao Studio in New York, the facade is spliced ​​with dark green marble and matte metal, paying tribute to the 19th century European Art Nouveau. Stepping into the room, the mirrored ceiling infinitely extends the space, and the curved glass display cabinet reflects the blurred light spots, creating an "Inception-style" visual illusion. Functional and artistic movement lines The space is divided into two experience areas by the entrance: The "Aroma Temple" on the east side: the mirror maze displays fragrances, and the curved fragrance-testing table is like the undulating waves; The "Sensory Salon" on the west side: the retro bar and the sea view window constitute a social field, and the sunset glow permeates the whiskey glass, framing it into a flowing painting. 🎭 3. Cultural symbiosis: the spirit of the owner and the creativity of the community Cross-border experiment of local culture As the flagship project of "local culture" in Guangzhou, the song of the white bird breaks the boundaries of retail: it regularly holds perfume poetry salons and perfume workshops, and even cooperates with the Beijing Contemporary Dance Company to improvise dance in the fragrance, realizing the avant-garde art collision of "smell × body". An extension of the gene of the Aranya community In line with the philosophy of the Lonely Library and the naturalism of the Dune Art Museum, the song of the white bird uses fragrance as a medium to deepen the community concept of "life is art". The store displays ceramic incense burners created by Aranya owners to achieve "community co-creation". 🌅 4. Time and Space Ritual: From sunrise coffee to tipsy starry sky Morning coastal meditation Push the door at 8 o'clock in the morning, sit on an outdoor rattan chair with an oatmeal latte in hand, and the sea breeze blows through the store with the fragrance of cedar - this is Aranya's unique "smell

I really like the newly opened "White Bird Song OTOLA" opposite the Phase 6 Beach. It is very beautiful and has a unique tone. Everything in it is beautiful!
