The Ceramic bottle

Clay, fire, glaze

Patina takes its colour on brass. Ceramic takes its colour in the kiln.

Why this cap

I · Cast in a mould

Each sphere is cast in a white mould. Its opening is then cut and wiped smooth by hand.

II · White glaze, black streaks

The glaze follows the scent. For Lotus Nocturne it is white, with streaks of black.

III · Fired in the kiln

The kiln fixes the glaze. In the hand, it shifts with the light.

IV · Tassel and charm

The tassel comes from the maker’s hand, and a small two-sided ceramic charm (the R logo on one face, the name of its scent on the other) goes into the box beside it.

Ceramic and fire

At the studio where our caps are made, from a block of clay to a box with a tassel in it.

What you see

The studio and its long table. Clay kneaded on plaster. Liquid clay poured into white moulds. The opening of each sphere cut and wiped. Rows drying on trays. Pink raw glaze brushed on. The kiln. The spheres after the fire, in colours the pink gave no sign of. Last, a box dressed with a tassel and a charm.

The scent inside

After dark

The lotus at night: animalic, dark, yet sacred and ethereal. Lotus and iris over incense, a mud accord, Vietnamese oud, sandalwood and leather, made as an extrait de parfum.

Patina and Ceramic hold the same Lotus Nocturne; only the bottle differs.

Perfumer’s memo

I grew up with Vietnamese literature portraying the lotus in sunlight - pure and dignified. Yet I always wondered: what does the flower do at night? Does it sleep well in the mud?

Only now do I realize that those long nights, resting in its bed of mud, are what give the lotus its strength and quiet pride when daylight comes.

This perfume is my sonnet to our beloved flower.

Rei Nguyen, perfumer
