This April, R PARFUMS is proud to announce a defining milestone in our journey. We are heading to Notes Shanghai Exhibition 2026, joining the global map of niche perfumery to share the essence of Vietnamese artistry with the world.

Notes Shanghai: Asia’s Sanctuary for Scent Art

Notes Shanghai is a curated sanctuary for the world’s most visionary fragrance houses. As the authorized exhibition of the Golden Osmanthus Awards (GOA) - the highest official honor in China’s fragrance industry, it stands as one of Asia’s most prestigious stages for the fine fragrance sector.

Distinguished by professionalism and international outlook, Notes Shanghai brings together world-renowned connoisseurs, critics, and enthusiasts who value the art of storytelling. To be part of this curated selection is to enter a global conversation on originality and innovation, where the future of scent begins to take form.

R PARFUMS: Sharing the Essence of Vietnamese Artistry

R PARFUMS encapsulates memories through a unique lens, where true beauty lies not in pristine perfection, but in the quiet traces of time and transformation. This philosophy extends beyond the balanced harmony of our meticulously selected raw materials to the vessel itself.

Our hand-finished patina bronze fragments, inspired by the weathered relics of the ancient city of Hue, serve as a visual language. Each hand-applied piece reflects the identity of the scent within, allowing the fragrance to be not only smelled, but seen and touched. By bringing this artisanal excellence to Notes Shanghai, we hope to represent the spirit of Vietnamese craftsmanship to the global stage.

What R PARFUMS Brings to Notes Shanghai 2026

Every bottle at our booth is a chapter of a memoir. From the nostalgic rains of the tropics to the meditative stillness of a Zen garden, our fragrances invite you to travel deep into the soul.

This journey is about proving that local roots create the most universal stories. By bringing our artisanal excellence to Shanghai, we are carving out a space for Vietnamese niche perfumery, ensuring our identity, our story is heard, felt, and remembered by the global community.
