    MEDICATED oil has been given a modern spin with scents such as magnolia or bergamot and lime, as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) manufacturer Tai Tong Ah Company seeks to reach younger customers.

    The company is known for its Double Prawn Brand Herbal Oil, produced since the 1950s. But a few years ago, they sought to create a “trendy and modern” product – and found a like-minded partner in homegrown fragrance manufacturer Senses International.

    The collaboration resulted in YnL, a range of botanic aromatherapy medicated oils.
