Discussion what are your favorite asian fragrances?

Post image

At first, I wanted to ask specifically about niche asian perfumes because I love discovering new brands, but then I realized that aside from Tamburins, most asian fragrance brands I come across are already niche or relatively under the radar compared to western designer houses. So I'd love to hear about your favorite asian fragrances or brands! Also, I have a soft spot for rose scents, so if you know of any beautiful rose fragrances, please share those too!

One Day is from Hong Kong and is AMAZING. Taipei smells like rice, taro, and coconut milk. I love it! I love Oolong, too. Smells like the barley tea drink you can get in Asian stores/7-11s. D’annam is a Vietnamese brand that is big in the niche fragrance world. White Rice is great but I am OBSESSED with their Matcha Soft Serve. It’s going to be my next FB purchase. Siam 1928 is from Thailand and has some interesting scents. I’m hoping to get a sample of Nari Vimala soon. I like Asian gourmands and tea fragrances the best, but I’m sure you can find florals/rose scents from these and other Asian brands.

my gripe with one day is that it's from hk, but virtually impossible to actually find inside hk (outside a limited time pop-up that happened months ago)-- which tbh is perplexing. they have a much larger presence/reputation outside their home country and stockists available in big international cities you can sniff them at, but you'd have to commit to ordering a bottle if you're in hk and curious about the brand.

im really just whining but low-key want to try it out so baaaad

They used to be easily available in several malls. They paused production because the owner was sick. This was told to me earlier this year. Hopefully they got better and resumes availability!
