d'Annam | Pomelo Oolong | Eau de Parfum
Crafted by the rising Vietnamese artisanal house d'Annam, Pomelo Oolong is an evocative sensory journey into the quiet mornings of Southeast Asia. Inspired by the traditional ritual of scenting tea leaves with fresh blossoms, this fragrance captures the exact moment a hot stream of water hits hand-rolled oolong leaves. It masterfully balances the bright, hyper-realistic bitterness of local green pomelo rind with the deep, roasted, and meditative qualities of traditional oolong tea. It is a fragrance of pure tranquility, designed to evoke the misty atmosphere of a countryside tea plantation at dawn.

Performance: As an Eau de Parfum, Pomelo Oolong delivers a remarkably crisp and clear performance. It provides 6–8 hours of longevity with a sillage that creates an airy, refreshing "scent halo" around the wearer. While citrus and tea notes are traditionally fleeting, d'Annam utilizes a clean, high-fidelity Vetiver and Musk base to extend the life of the bitter pomelo rind, allowing the realistic tea leaves to retain their dry, green depth throughout a full day of wear.
