The story

d'Annam is a Vietnamese fragrance house founded by Nick Hoang in 2023. The brand treats perfume as a sensory record of places, foods, landscapes, and everyday rituals from Vietnam and across Asia.

Its collections are arranged as chapters. White Rice, Vietnamese Coffee, and Pho Breakfast translate Vietnamese references, while Arashiyama and Chinese Calligraphy approach Japan and China through a personal, contemporary lens.

01 · A memory of Vietnam

Nick Hoang's sensory journal

Nick Hoang describes d'Annam as a response to the feeling that international perfumery was missing a note from his homeland. The first collection grew from memories of rural landscapes, rice fields, gardens, and Vietnamese food. According to the founder, d'Annam means “from Vietnam”; “An” speaks to peace and serenity. White Rice turns an everyday staple into a quiet olfactory subject.

02 · Told in chapters

From Vietnam to Japan and China

After its Vietnam chapter, d'Annam continues into Japan and China. Matcha Soft Serve and Arashiyama connect tea, bamboo, rain, and sweetness through a personal language of memory. Chinese Calligraphy, by contrast, turns to ink, paper, lacquer, and the focused quiet of a scholar's studio. The brand frames this as respectful study of local heritage rather than a universal reading of Asian culture.

03 · Craft and approach

Small batches, clear materials

d'Annam describes its fragrances as hand-crafted in small batches. The work joins traditional perfumery techniques with materials and references from everyday life, including coffee, rice, tea, bamboo, and spices. The packaging follows the same restrained approach: unbranded paper boxes are intended for reuse, while recyclable materials and the avoidance of plastic are prioritized.

04 · Documented recognition

Two Art & Olfaction finalists

In 2026, Japanese Whiskey and Chinese Calligraphy were named finalists in the Independent Category of the Art & Olfaction Awards. The official announcement credits Anh Ngo as perfumer and Nick Hoang as Creative Director. This is a specific documented milestone, not a general ranking claim.

What the community says about d'Annam

9.5/10

„Powdery, steamed rice with floral, creamy and delicately sweet notes. If you like L'eau Papier, you will be in good hands with White Rice.“

„Absolutely not intrusive, delicious, can be worn well for any occasion. Long-lasting. Definitely unisex.“

10/10

„... based on the fragrance notes, I couldn't imagine anything at first... but the combination is wonderfully unique: plum blossom and zesty mandarin merge with the striking sweetness of red dates and candied hawthorn... an interplay that I have never smelled in a perfume before... this fruity-sweet mix develops in an astonishingly complex way throughout the day and transitions harmoniously into a floral base... carried by a delicate spice, the fragrance is perfectly unisex... an absolutely captivating and special masterpiece🤍“
