山霧 ZenU

ZenU builds home fragrance objects from the cloud seas of Alishan, translating layered mountains, mist and Taiwanese plants into tangible forms. Its Alishan Ceramic Cloud Sea Diffuser depicts overlapping ridgelines and is made from a blended clay-and-porcelain material through batching, firing and related ceramic processes. A specially developed airflow structure disperses moisture from the base to reduce dampness around nearby objects. The fragrance collection uses Taiwanese botanicals such as hinoki and Elsholtzia, with scent development informed by the elevation, forest scenery and seasonal changes along Alishan’s Shizhuo trails. Nine forest scents extend into essential oils, room sprays, massage roll-ons, skincare products and fabric sprays. ZenU states that its team independently develops both fragrance formulas and patented structural designs, and has also created a Mount Fuji Cloud Sea Diffuser series.
