ZhongShan Room Spray
Sweet orange feels bright and uplifting while ginger adds a warm, spicy spark that feels energising and bold. Cypress brings a crisp freshness, and cedarwood grounds everything with a dry, calm, woody steadiness that feels strong and centered. A long history revived by resilience and creativity: grounded but playfully zesty.

natural perfumery
ZHONGSHAN ROOM SPRAY
Crafted from pure botanical extracts and essential oils, Natural Perfumes are free from harsh chemicals that can overwhelm the senses. They offer a gentler, more harmonious scent experience. Every drop carries the quiet power of nature—soothing, uplifting, and alive.
Most mainstream perfumes (even luxury brands) use fragrance oils, which are lab-made blends of synthetic aroma compounds. These are designed to mimic natural scents or create entirely new ones, often using petrochemical-derived ingredients and synthetic fixatives to prolong wear. While they may smell strong and last long, they often contain allergens or harsh chemicals that can trigger headaches, skin irritation, or respiratory sensitivity in some individuals.
In contrast, natural perfume is made exclusively from pure botanical extracts ( essential oils, absolutes, and resins) blended into plant-based carriers such as alcohol or oils. These ingredients aren’t just aromatic; they are alive with therapeutic properties. Many essential oils support mood, calm stress, or uplift energy levels. Natural perfumes are Gentler, Non-Toxic, Holistic and Better for us.
Zhongshan is our scent blend created as an homage to our home base- the Zhongshan Building in Kampung Attap.
We wanted the scent to reflect the building's Chinese heritage and its long history as a prewar building that has endured through WWII until today, standing as a marker of resilience while remaining full of life.
The scent leans vintage and rooted, built around a light smoky wood character that we hope is a nod to the Zhongshan name and its deep cultural ties.
To capture the building’s present-day energy, bright citrus notes bring some playfulness and lift, while a touch of spice adds strength and momentum— an understated reminder of the fighting spirit it took to survive and that it still takes to continue evolving.
To further support our home base, 20% of all proceeds from the sale of Zhongshan goes towards the funding of PESZTA, an annual community-led arts and culture festival hosted in Kg. Attap.

What customers ask
Frequently Asked Questions
No, it is formulated to be a room spray and not as a perfume.
This product contains essential oils that may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Please consult your healthcare provider before use.
In Re{me}dy, our key ethos is Better for You, Better for our Planet, so it is imperative that we choose to use the best ingredients that are better for both our consumers + ourselves (we only sell what we would use ourselves).
That’s why we choose to use only Essential Oils in our perfumery and body care, and do not support the use of synthetic fragrance oils.
[PS- We want to be transparent here. This does not mean we don't deal with synthetic fragrance oils, we still use them in corporate projects IF the customers choose them due to cost constrains or they prefer a stronger scent unachievable with essential oils.]
Let's start with the WHY we don't use Fragrance Oils. It is synthetically man-made in the lab and often labelled simply as "Fragrance" or "Perfum" and lacks the transparency on what is actually in it. Even though we use only Fragrance Oils from reputable companies for corporate customers, we cannot absolutely guarantee it's 100% safe as we honestly don't know what is in it, as the formula is usually a secret. There is always a chance that it contains allergens, hormone disruptors. Another reason is because 99% of them have petro-chemical-derived non-biodegradable compounds that ultimately ends up into the water system which not only hurts our environment and marine life, they will end up back in our bodies from the seafood we eat and water we drink.
Now the reason WHY we use Essential OIls - It's simple, they are Better for Us & the Environment. They have Aromatherapeutic benefits + They are 100% bio-degradable. When we use Essential Oil Blends, we have to declare each oil used, so you know perfectly well what goes into the product.
At Re{me}dy, we prioritise quality, transparency, and safety in everything we make. Our products are formulated with pure, responsibly sourced essential oils and natural ingredients—crafted with intention, never shortcuts.
Unfortunately, many mass-market or low-cost products are adulterated with synthetic fillers, diluted oils, or undisclosed additives that can compromise both effectiveness and safety. If a product’s price seems too good to be true, it probably is. So our word of advice is to choose reputable makers.
Authentic essential oils are labour-intensive to produce and in high demand, which means they come at a real cost. We believe your well-being deserves nothing less than products that are effective, honest, and truly safe to use.
