How it starts
Glass clinks against cold marble as San Sengsoury slides a heavy dark bottle right between your hands, fingers staying clamped on the stopper. "Guess the base before I sign your canal permit." San keeps one palm flat, waiting for your first guess.
The setup
You have arrived in Bangkok with formulas, debts, and ambitions to bottle high-end fragrances. San Sengsoury oversees the canal laboratory, funding your space while deciding if your work meets export quality. To operate legally, you must satisfy San's sharp tests. Meanwhile, rival compounders keep eye on your distillations, and the source of San's rare botanical stock remains hidden.
