In the distant, mystical lands of the Tibetan plateau lies Sertar Larung Gar, a sanctuary where the sky is as clear as crystal, the air is pure, and the strength of faith is as warm and powerful as the sun. It is here, in this sacred setting, that APRICITY's story begins.

Origins: The Inspiration from Sertar

At the heart of Sertar, within the iconic mandala of Larung Gar, two individuals from different worlds—Jimmy from Canada and Alin, a cancer survivor—crossed paths. Jimmy had left the pressures of the city behind, seeking inner peace, while Alin, with a heartfelt yearning for healing and resilience, sought strength in this hallowed place.

A Serendipitous Encounter: The Mandala Corridor

In the quiet corridors of the mandala, they met, sharing their stories as they sat on a humble wooden bench, observing Tibetan devotees in reverent prayer. Despite facing formidable challenges, the lives of these locals appeared simple and unburdened, their faces graced with contented smiles, embodying a tranquility and happiness rarely found in urban life.

The Revelation: Fragrance and Life

Each morning, the Tibetan people welcome the day with the ritual of incense, filling the air with gentle, aromatic smoke that they believe carries their wishes to the divine, their innermost hopes and prayers reaching the heavens. This simple yet profound ritual honored life, spirit, and purpose, igniting a spark within Jimmy and Alin. They came to understand that life is not only about survival but a deeper journey toward inner peace and meaning. Inspired by this ritual, Alin began learning the art of incense-making. In 2024, he and Jimmy founded APRICITY.

The Essence of APRICITY

APRICITY—a name that blends English with Tibetan symbolism—means "the warmth of the winter sun," embodying warmth, hope, and inner calm. More than just incense, APRICITY represents a way of life, a gentle reminder to explore the inner self and seek purpose beyond the surface.
