As a child growing up in rural Vietnam, I was captivated by the symphony of scents that painted our landscapes. The lotus blossoms that graced our serene lakes, the crisp scent of morning dew on verdant rice paddies, the bitterness of lime leaves in my grandma’s garden - each scent was a thread in the tapestry of my memories.
As I journey outside Vietnam, I discovered that while the world of fragrances was vast and diverse, it was missing a heart note - the scent of my homeland. Thus came the idea for our first collection.
Chapter 1 is a love letter to Vietnam. Each of the 9 fragrances is a personal and contemporary interpretation of our heritage, hand-crafted by local perfumers to echo the melodies of our land.
This is a manifestation of a dream, a sensory memoir of Vietnam.
Let our journey begin.
