The Showroom

In April 2022 it was still a house in a quiet part of Thảo Điền. By July it had opened as our showroom. 34 Nguyễn Duy Hiệu, An Khánh Ward, is where R Parfums began; today there are three houses in Ho Chi Minh City.

In the film: the house as it was, 20 April 2022; the first walls down the next day; building work in June, with signs going up inside, a curved staircase, brass lights; the arched front, finished; the garden and the R; linen beneath the ceiling, glass bells, Patina bottles; last, the R Parfums sign among the leaves.
