Enjoying Tea – The Art of Subtle Elegance
For the people of old Tràng An, tea was not merely a habit—it was an art of living. From the careful selection of tea, water, and teapot to the measured way of pouring and the graceful manner of sitting, every detail moved to its own gentle rhythm: slow, quiet, yet imbued with profound nuance. There was no clamor or haste—only a refined subtlety appreciated in silence.
Fragrance – The Aftertaste of Memory
The expression “ Ăn hương ăn hoa” – “imbibing fragrance, savoring blooms” emerged as a cultural hallmark: the people of Hanoi not only drank tea but also artfully infused it with floral notes; they not only indulged in sweet treats but also preserved their lingering aromas. A delicate pomelo blossom intermingled with a hint of sugarcane, a bowl of lotus tea slowly enjoyed on a sunlit porch, a sip of afternoon tea warm enough to calm the spirit.
This art of tea appreciation inspired the creation of Nostalgic March—a fragrance not meant for the hurried. Like tea, perfume needs time to unfold, to diffuse, and to quietly narrate its deepest secrets through scent. Nostalgic March invites us to slow down, to savor each nuance, and to let every layer of aroma serve as a silent punctuation in our journey of memories.
Eastern Gourmand Signature in Nostalgic March – A Subtle, Sweet, and Refined Aftertaste
Just as fine tea leaves behind a gentle, lingering aftertaste, Nostalgic March preserves a refined sweetness—not one derived from Western gourmand notes like vanilla or caramel, but one expressed through the delicate harmony of honeyed accents, the tender warmth of tea, and the soft caress of flowers. It recalls the humble delights of bygone days: roasted rice cakes, lotus tea, and honey-infused brews.
This confluence not only distinguishes Nostalgic March but also endows it with a unique character—a gourmand fragrance that is neither overly intense nor cloyingly sweet but pure, delicate, and as graceful as tea steeped slowly through time.
“Boiling Water” – Preparing the Space for Sensing
Before savoring an exquisite cup of tea, the tea master selects only the purest water and heats it to the perfect temperature so as not to disturb the tea’s inherent subtlety. With perfume, too, the ambiance and one’s state of mind are essential to fully embracing the fragrance.
Nostalgic March is not a scent for the hurried. Set aside a moment of quiet to completely detach from everyday clamor. Choose a tranquil space—perhaps a cozy nook by a window, a warmly inviting tea room, or simply the stillness of an early morning before the day unfolds—to truly listen to the unfolding aroma.
2. “Infusing the Tea” – Awakening the First Layer of Scent
A connoisseur of tea does not rush to take the first sip; instead, she slowly inhales the rising aroma from the cup, letting the scent mingle naturally with the air. The same measured approach applies to perfume.
When you spray Nostalgic March, do not bring it right to your nose. Allow those first droplets to caress your skin, merging with your body’s warmth so that the top notes can delicately reveal their story.
- Top Notes – Like the Gentle Waft of Tea Aroma:
Pomelo Blossom conjures a light, graceful freshness reminiscent of a fleeting spring breeze. - Sugarcane offers a soft sweetness, gentle and smooth like a cool stream’s murmur.
- Raspberry adds a touch of bright radiance, as if the early morning sun were reflecting on still water, illuminating the purity of the scent.
“Savoring the Tea” – Immersing in Each Layer of Aroma
Just as the first sip of tea begins to unfurl its aftertaste, the perfume opens to its heart, becoming deeper and more rounded.
The middle notes of Nostalgic March do not rush; they are like a cup of tea steeped to perfection, gradually releasing a sense of calm. Here, the Green Tea note infuses a refreshing coolness that underscores the fragrance’s overall finesse.
This stage is like a quiet afternoon tea break—a momentary pause amidst a hectic day that invites you to breathe deeply and savor every subtle nuance.
“The Aftertaste” – A Lingering Echo, Like an Unfading Memory
A true tea lover pays heed not only to the initial flavor but also to the lasting aftertaste that lingers on the palate. Similarly, a perfume’s base notes form the essential foundation, defining its lasting impression and unique character with Sandalwood, Orris, Musk. and Vetiver. In the lingering notes, the Eastern gourmand signature reveals itself, leaving a naturally sweet yet refined impression, much like the lingering taste after a sip of honeyed tea, evoking memories of traditional delights once savored.
More Than a Fragrance – An Art of Savoring Life
A true tea connoisseur never rushes through the experience, always cherishing the lingering aftertaste. Nostalgic March is not a fleeting scent; it is a journey. It is a fragrance for those who cherish subtlety, who savor the slow moments, and who listen to the stories told by every nuanced aroma.
Take the time to experience Nostalgic March as our ancestors cherished every drop of tea—gracefully, thoughtfully, and with a heart full of nostalgia.
