Dạ Yến
Fragrance notes
Character
Dạ Yến suits someone who enjoys a fragrance that feels alive and slightly unusual when the evening begins. It is for the person who wants a scent that does not shout but stays present through a long night out. The opening greets you with ginseng and cinnamon, which feel warm and slightly medicinal. Litchi adds a bright, watery fruitiness that keeps the start from feeling too dry. Jiuniang brings a soft, fermented sweetness that smells like fresh rice wine.
As the fragrance moves forward, the heart reveals rice and tapioca. These notes create a comforting, starchy texture that feels savory and clean. Ginger provides a sharp, fresh spicy edge that cuts through the milky softness of the cake accord. Lotus floats above this dense center with a light, aquatic floral touch. The combination feels green and herbal, like walking through a garden near water.
The base notes of sandalwood and vetiver give the blend a sturdy, woody foundation. Peru balsam adds a sweet, resinous depth that lingers on the skin. The scent remains close to the body, creating a personal bubble of aroma rather than a wide trail. It stays with you for a significant portion of the night, resting near the collar and wrists.
The ginger and rice notes hold the composition together, ensuring the sweet fermented top does not fade too quickly into the wood. It keeps the profile grounded in that herbal, fresh space while the balsam warms the air just around you
