眠腦 Minnao

Named after an Atayal term for the Taipingshan area, Minnao was founded by Kuan-Chen Lin and Po-Chen Chen to translate Taiwan’s native plants, landscapes, and local memories into scent. The brand visits growing regions across Taiwan and works with plant producers, small farmers, and local communities. Its formulas use 100% natural essential oils, including oils obtained through small-scale distillation of locally cultivated plants, without artificial fragrance or fixatives. Taiwan incense cedar, hinoki cypress, camphor, maqaw pepper, pomelo, and tea tree form scent references for forests, plains, and valleys. The range includes essential-oil sprays, pure essential oils, room diffusers, fabric sprays, and natural bath products. The No. 3 Valley spray combines Ruisui pomelo, Hsinchu maqaw, tea tree, wild ginger lily, calendula, and a Yilan woody accord for a humid botanical profile.
