TESTIMONIALS
Bottle 1 — Litsea Cubeba Fruit (Tenem)
— Cheryl Ng, Singapore
"I diffuse this every morning before work and honestly it's changed my whole routine. That sweet, lemony scent just instantly lifts my mood — like a shot of sunshine before I even have my kopi. Knowing it's hand-harvested by indigenous communities in Borneo makes it feel extra special. This is not your usual Shopee essential oil."
Bottle 2 — Adenosma Nelsonioides (Bunga Ta'ang)
— Hafizah R., Malaysia
"I'd never heard of this plant before, but the herbal, spicy scent is so grounding. After a long day at work with the kids at home, I just need something to help me decompress. This does exactly that. The fact that it comes from a 130 million year old rainforest and supports indigenous Borneo communities — that really resonated with me."
Bottle 3 — Cymbopogon Citratus (Serai / Lemongrass)
— Marcus Lim, Malaysia
"I love that this is basically serai — something so familiar from our local cooking — but in its purest essential oil form from Sarawak. The stress relief is real. I put a few drops in my diffuser when I'm WFH and my whole home office just feels calmer. My wife keeps stealing it for her yoga sessions too."
Bottle 4 — Curcuma Longa (Kunyit / Turmeric)
— Dr. Shalini Nair, Singapore
"As a Singaporean with Indian roots, turmeric holds a very special place for me — but I'd never experienced it as a pure essential oil before. The earthy, woody scent is incredibly centering. I use it during meditation and notice a real difference in my focus and mental clarity. A genuinely unique product."
Bottle 5 — Lindera Lucida (Murus Tabu)
— Joanne Teo, Singapore
"This one surprised me the most. The scent is truly unlike anything I've encountered — sweet, floral, with a complexity that feels almost ancient. I keep it on my office desk for an afternoon pick-me-up. It's one of those quiet discoveries you feel lucky to have found. Beautifully presented too — perfect as a gift."
Bottle 6 — Citrus Microcarpa (Calamansi)
— Eugene Koh, Singapore
"Calamansi in a bottle — I mean, that's pure Singapore nostalgia right there. But this is next level. The pure essential oil concentration is so vibrant and uplifting. I use it when I'm feeling mentally foggy and it genuinely helps. My mum thought I was cooking when she smelled it. Gave her a bottle and she hasn't stopped talking about it."
Bottle 7 — Homalomena Ardua (Kemuyang Merah)
— Shirlene Wee, Malaysia
"I'm quite particular about what I use in my diffuser at home and this one has become my absolute favourite for evenings. The floral, slightly earthy scent has this incredible calming quality that helps me actually switch off from the day. I love that over 50% of proceeds goes to Sarawak biodiversity conservation — I feel good every time I use it."
Bottle 8 — Zingiber Officinale (Halia Dayak / Ginger)
— Raj Subramaniam, Singapore
"Warm, spicy ginger oil — but from wild Dayak ginger harvested in Borneo, not the mass-produced stuff. You can smell the difference immediately. I use it in a warm bath soak and the calming effect is just wonderful. After long runs at MacRitchie, this is part of my recovery ritual now. Wouldn't swap it for anything."
Bottle 9 — Litsea Cubeba Leaf (Pahkak)
— Audrey Chan, Singapore
"The minty, cooling scent of this one is so refreshing — perfect for Singapore's heat. I keep it in my handbag and open it on the MRT when things feel overwhelming. Instant mood lift. Getting the full collection of 9 bottles as a set was such a treat, and knowing only 500 boxes exist makes it feel like a real treasure. Already thinking of getting another set before it's gone."
