Collection: D'Annam

D'Annam

D’Annam is a fine fragrance house with roots in Vietnam, inspired by the beauty of Asian heritage. Their creations are designed to "inspire calmness and delight" through hand-crafted, culturally resonant perfumes.

Brand Name & Ethos

The name d’Annam means “from Vietnam”: “An” evokes peace and serenity, while “Nam” is a nod to the brand’s origin. The name reflects a union of heritage and stillness—a thoughtful metaphor akin to "a quiet breeze through rice fields."

d’Annam is driven by values of:

- Calmness — “Fragrances are not loud, but speak with a clear point of view.”

- Delight — “Fragrance should be a joyful experience.”

- Inclusivity — “Fragrance should be approachable and welcoming, not elitist or pretentious.”

Craftsmanship & Sustainability

Fragrances are hand‑crafted in small batches using a blend of traditional techniques and natural ingredients from around the world.

Packaging is 100% recyclable, featuring unbranded paper boxes designed for creative reuse. Plastic is eliminated wherever possible.

Social Impact

Each year, d’Annam allocates a portion of its earnings to support children’s charities in Vietnam, working with selected local organizations to maximize impact.

Collections Overview

Chapter 1: Enchanting Vietnam

Launched December 1, 2023, this debut collection is described as a “sensory memoir” of Vietnam’s landscapes and cultural heritage.

The nine standout fragrances include:

White Rice – Gentle, subtly sweet, and nutty; a tribute to Vietnam’s staple.

Monsoon Tea – Fresh, optimistic, reminiscent of rain-washed green tea.

In The Garden – Lime, jasmine, and native flora inspired by childhood garden memories.

Harvest Season – Drying straw and countryside warmth.

Phu Quoc – A fresh marine scent with green peppercorn and native wood.

Da Lat – A romantic, innovative rose scent, delicate and evocative.

Pho Breakfast – A complex herbal-spice blend, inspired by Vietnam’s iconic noodle soup.
