Art Republik reports that Rei Nguyen opened her solo scent exhibition “Pluviophile – The Rain Lover” at R Parfums in Saigon, the start of a series of scent exhibitions.

Through scents made for the exhibition, Rei retells rains from Vietnam to Japan. The piece says each scent went through many trials to reach balance, and that for the artist, creating and solitude go together. It notes that Rei studied perfume design in Tokyo, is known for finding balance in contrasting materials, and here pairs olfactory art with installation.
