Tombstone

Created in 2024 by Lan Xiao, Tombstone is a Hong Kong-associated fragrance brand built around mortality as a subject of reflection and continuation. Xiao is identified as the founder and first perfumer, and the brand’s concept frames perfume as an artifact in dialogue with scent’s impermanence. Its stated identity explores life and death, challenges taboos, and expands what perfume can express. Tombstone’s initial body of work comprised five olfactory artworks focused on vulnerability, impermanence, and human renewal. Its creative model brings together independent perfumers, each expressing an individual vision of life and death. The brand uses handcrafted bottles with marble caps, and no two pieces are the same. Tombstone made its first appearance at Paris Perfume Week in 2025. Its fragrance 3 Feet 5 connects childhood’s first encounters with death and farewell to adult awareness and is also a charitable product supporting children in need. The brand is operated by Hong Kong company Wonder Senses Limited.
