The house
A corner above the walking street
Number 42 stands on Nguyễn Huệ Walking Street. Up on Level 2, R Parfums keeps a corner inside a larger store, and shares its door and its counter.
It is one of our three houses in Ho Chi Minh City, open from 9:00 until 22:00 every day, so you can come in the morning or after dinner. A scent needs time on the skin before it shows its base: wear one here, walk the street, and decide on your way back.

· The two bottles
Patina and Ceramic, side by side

Patina on Brass
Three pieces of brass
One piece stays bare brass, one has turned fully to patina, one is caught midway. The brass is corroded and polished by hand, then set on the glass. Turn the bottle under the light before you choose.

Ceramic
A cap fired at 1000°C
A round ceramic cap, a tassel, and a small ceramic charm engraved with R. The kiln decides the glaze and the maker’s hand the tassel, so each Ceramic bottle comes to you as it was finished. The glaze shifts with the light and from one firing to the next. Ceramic arrives at the houses in late November.
