L’Officiel Vietnam introduces “Letters from Baker Street”, the scent exhibition Rei Nguyen held at R Parfums in Saigon after “Pluviophile – The Rain Lover”.
The room is set with letters drawn from Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, alongside letters Rei wrote herself to Holmes and to his rival James Moriarty. The scents take their cue from the two characters, setting good beside evil and white beside black to ask what lies behind each choice. The piece calls it the next stop in Rei’s series of solo scent exhibitions.
