Smoke Before Scent: Inside the Sourcing of LOSiam's Aromatic Litsea Absolute
Most Litsea cubeba oil is steam-distilled from fresh berries. Ours starts with berries smoked by a Hmong family on Doi Inthanon, then extracted with CO2 instead of steam — a different material entirely, IFRA-conformant and ready for evaluation.
Absolute, Concrete, CO2 Extract, Renewable Solvent: A Perfumer's Glossary of Natural Extraction
Absolute, concrete, CO2 extract, renewable solvent: perfumers use these words constantly, but each marks a distinct point in an extraction process. A working glossary from LOSiam's Chiang Mai lab, illustrated with real ingredients from Tobacco to Teak.
From Upcycled Sawdust to Signature Scent
How a byproduct nobody wanted became a new fragrance ingredient: LOSiam's Teak Absolute, developed with CMU Biopolis, FIN and Thailand's DIPROM.
Chalood: The Bark Sold as Cinnamon That Isn't
Sold across Southeast Asia as "white cinnamon," Chalood bark shares nothing with true cinnamon botanically. Meet Alyxia reinwardtii — the coumarin-rich Thai bark behind LOSiam's newest absolute, and the two very different pharmacopeias that have relied on it for centuries
Le Tabac Dans Tous Ses États
A deep dive into our Chiang Mai lab: discover the extraction process of our Golden Virginia Tobacco Absolute. From flue-cured drying in Thailand to the final absolute, we'll decipher the manual leaf removal, the solvents, and its unique olfactory chemistry.
Miang: The Scent Lanna Kept in Reserve
Miang is not tea you drink — it's tea that's chewed, fermented for months in Northern Thailand's Lanna tradition. LOSiam turns it into a rare animalic-tobacco absolute for fine perfumery, selected for Chiang Mai Design Week 2026.
