Notably, several of these scents highlight the cultural identity of Vietnam. Inspired by familiar local ingredients such as West Lake white lotus, Tra Bong cinnamon from Central Vietnam, fresh mountain ginger, lemongrass from the Mekong Delta, and Dalat pine forests, these elements are transformed into unique fragrance notes for guests to use in their creative process.
