PĀNG’s Scented Envelope merges innovative design with environmental responsibility, transforming small spaces with an air of elegance. Each envelope contains 10g of biochar made from Taiwanese water caltrop shells, offering a distinct aromatic experience while reducing your carbon footprint. Every envelope fixes 29.4g of CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere, turning an agricultural byproduct into a sustainable resource that minimizes waste and supports local communities.

This single-use scented envelope uses biodegradable and compostable biochar as an essential oil carrier, offering an eco-friendlier alternative to conventional sachets. After its fragrance dissipates, the biochar can be washed and composted, completing a zero-waste cycle that contributes back to the earth.

The series’ visual design takes inspiration from Taiwan’s natural beauty, drawing from orchid fields, vibrant fern forests, and the culturally significant betel plant. These designs transform Taiwan’s diverse landscapes into creative visual art, embodying a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and innovative sustainability. PĀNG’s Scented Envelope reflects the brand’s commitment to a greener, more elegant future, delivering a unique product that unites aromatic beauty, functionality, and environmental care.

The visual design of Fern Murmur highlights a green fern enveloping a white lily, symbolizing nature’s strength and purity. The background, featuring roasted Jin Xuan Oolong tea leaves and cottonwood, evokes the swirling tea in a cup, blending Taiwan’s nature with tea culture.

Betel Blossom Night showcases a betel blossom surrounding swaying irises, reflecting traditional betel nut wrapping techniques in Taiwan. The soft pink twilight and tuberose outline symbolize Taiwan’s land connection.

Black Orchid Dream presents a fantastical dreamscape where the black orchid shifts through different forms, resembling a rose. Madagascar vanilla pods curl like flower stems, and cocoa transforms into leaves. The background, with pink pepper scattered like light points, creates an ethereal beauty.
