Description
Da Lat presents an unconventional interpretation of rose that captures the romantic essence of its namesake Vietnamese city nestled among pine forests. This modern fragrance pairs classic rose with unexpected elements of pine, juniper, and cypress, while red wine notes add distinctive warmth as an homage to a local delicacy. The composition unfolds like a love letter, balancing fresh aromatic green accords with soft florals and dry woods for an intriguing, contemporary take on rose that defies traditional expectations.
