In the north of Vietnam, the memory of the slow rocking of our junk gliding as if suspended and my hand trailing in the water, with the green, floral smells of the monsoon in the distance. I translated the theme of the water in the bay to a lotus, magnolia and cyclamen accord, and the rain to a sharp, vertical accord of rhubarb and red berries. I reflected the heavy, damp air by green, plant notes intensified by Akigalawood.
The sensuality of tropical rain. In the luxuriant humidity of the Ha Long Bay, a junk glides, as if suspended, on the notes of water flowers, lotus and cyclamen. A hand moves through the crystal clear water, with its vivid accents of red berries and rhubarb. In the distance, near the shore, the monsoon looms on the horizon, embodied by the green fragrance of neroli, while the floral notes of magnolia rise from the warm land. A cloud of musk and white moss envelops the horizon.
Central ingredient: Lotus
