The story

Scent idea

Fresh, clear and gently sweet, shaped around purity and an unwavering heart.

Inspired by the fate of women hidden within the symbolic imagery of “Bánh Trôi Nước,” a beloved poem by the celebrated poetess Hồ Xuân Hương, the fragrance is an olfactory journey celebrating the beauty of resilience through life’s ups and downs — a testament to the dignity and grace of Vietnamese women of old: pure, whole, and though they may drift through bitter waters, they keep their unwavering loyalty and true heart.

It opens with a bright touch of tart grapefruit and sweet lychee, then evolves into warm, soft woody notes — both embracing and steadfast, as if telling the story of a soul that rises and falls yet remains noble and pure. Not just a whisper of classical beauty but a symbol of contemporary confidence: for those in whom softness and strength coexist.

Bottle artwork

Every bottle carries a Kim Hoàng folk painting — the vermilion-on-rose-paper tradition revived by artisan Đào Đình Chung. For “Bánh Trôi Nước”, the artwork is not decoration; it retells literature through a Vietnamese visual language.

Sizes

30ml is the main piece. 10ml is the pocket-scale companion.

One scent story, two sizes to choose from: a 30ml to live with every day, and a travel-sized 10ml to carry anywhere. The Kim Hoàng artwork is preserved in full on both.

Handcrafted

Not flawless, but singular

The jesmonite cap is handcrafted, so small differences in fit, tiny air bubbles or colour-fragment placement can appear. Those variations give each bottle its own hand-mark.

As a natural material, it may carry a faint material scent for a few seconds when first opened. It fades quickly and does not affect the fragrance inside.
