ASSAN Hearing the waves and breeze in the air, Longing for my love that
was once there. Drifting deeper away from where we were, Leaving our
memories on the shore forever. Love, remembrance, feelings and tragedy
are like sea waves hitting the shore constantly. Every moment, either
during high tide or low tide, those waves will always leave traces on
the shore. This is the meaning of the poem describing the love of a
mermaid in “Phra-apaimanee”, a 1200-page novel written by “Phra
Soonthornvoharn” or “Soonthorn Pu”, the great poet of Rattanakosin
Kingdom. Based on the novel, a mermaid is an animal with the upper part
of the body resembling a beautiful lady and the lower part that
resembles a fish. She lives with her family in the ocean, but
unfortunately loses them while rescuing Phra-apaimanee from the attack
of the Ocean Butterfly Giant. Both the mermaid and Phra-apaimanee
escaped to an island named “Koh Keaw Pitsadarn”, where they fell in love
and had a son together. Later, Phra-apaimanee left the mermaid to
travel the world. She then gave birth to a human boy, which is
impossible for her to nurture him because she needs to stay in the
ocean. The mermaid then took her son to an ascetic and asked for help to
bring up her son. This story is the inspiration of our perfume “Assan”,
which means “The Tears of the Ocean”. The word “Assan” is a combination
of two words, “Assu”, which means “tears” and “Annop”, which means
“ocean”. This aroma represents the three tragedies in the mermaid’s
life. First, the loss of her family, second, the loss of her lover and
lastly, giving away her child. A mild citrus scent mixed with some leafy
and ozone smell is the top note of this perfume, which represents the
scenery of the sea. The heart note of this perfume is made of jasmine in
combination with a variety of flowers and wood sap. In Thai belief,
jasmine is a flower of good intentions, pure love and gratitude, which
best reflects the mermaid’s feeling for her family and child. Finally,
after all tragedies, the base note of this perfume is the aroma of the
sea without waves before drifting into the deepest part of the ocean.
