I want to challenge myself to do something more with the brand that I love and work with. Downy and I share this inspiration and ambition to create a one-of-a-kind special gift that I can share with my fans and all the Thais. This year, it is my very first time visiting the heart of Downy's Research and Development in Asia, Kobe Innovation Center, where I can see the final product of my collaboration with Downy. I am very impressed by how each innovation is created. It is truly the craftsmanship of Downy scientists and perfumers to create the best scent experience for consumers. This is my very first product collaboration with Downy and I have instantly fallen in love with this product, as it is truly a perfect gift during winter. We all know we don't have a long winter in Thailand, but this Downy winter special will give Thais long-lasting scent of winter."

The scent of Downy Snow White is comprised of 3 layers. First is the top note, which is the scent that we first experience when we smell the scent or perfume. For Top Note, we have selected red-cloloured fruits such as raspberry, apple that have a scent of happiness, freshness and liveliness. Middle Note is the heart of the scent/perfume. For this layer, we add some romance, fantasy and elegancy from various type of flowers that are delicate and beautiful. Finally, the Base Note. We want to capture the feeling of warmth, classic yet long lasting with the key ingredient of cedar wood which sticks longer. Even though winter brings in the coldness, the warmth comes from the festive feeling of winter when people hug each other knowing that they smell fresh with the New Downy Snow White.,
