The Poetic Inspiration; Strawberry Mochi d'Annam
The Strawberry Mochi d'Annam fragrance was inspired by the beautiful Japanese culture, especially the nostalgic memories of traditional Japanese sweets. Anh Ngo, the perfumer, was directly inspired by a haiku written by the famous Edo-era poet Kobayashi Issa. The haiku says, "The smell of rice fills my empty stomach with warmth, like the bright sun." This haiku perfectly captures the essence of this perfume - it's warm, comforting, and simple. It's like wearing a delicious strawberry mochi scent.
Olfactory Notes
The fragrance opens with a subtle hint of sweet strawberry, evoking the initial bite into a fresh mochi. As it develops, the heart reveals the creamy texture of glutinous rice and the rich depth of red bean paste, mirroring the chewy center of the dessert. Finally, the base notes of brown sugar and vanilla emerge, providing a warm and comforting finish that lingers on the skin. This progression mirrors the experience of savoring a strawberry mochi, from the first taste to the lasting sweetness.
