D'Annam: First Impressions
Recently, niche perfume boutique Libertine has decided to stock D'annam, a Vietnamese fragrance house. While the actual brand itself has come under some criticism for various issues , I do appreciate some of the more openly Asian inspired notes and profiles. While I picked up a discovery set directly from the house a while ago, being able to try some of their newer releases from their China collection directly in store was a treat, and being able to try testers without the haunting reminder of how much it all cost (plus shipping) and some great customer service (shout out to the sales team at the Chatswood boutique!), definitely helped me get a better idea of the house's offerings with some informed input from the staff. Overall - I've not quite come to fall in love with D'annam yet, but they're always piquing my curiosity and I love that they do come out with loved Asian inspired scents. I've long been waxing poetic about how much I want more Asian inspired...
