Experience the Essence of Vietnam in Every Fragrance
The Complete Annals of
Đại Việt
The design of the box is inspired by the "Complete Annals of Đại Việt", one of the most esteemed national chronicles in Vietnam’s historical heritage. Each product is crafted like a carefully preserved page of history, so that every time the lid is opened, it feels as though another layer of the nation's long and storied past is being gently revealed.
Laterite
Once present in the architecture of ancient northern Vietnamese villages and certain royal structures, laterite is a material of rustic simplicity yet enduring strength. It bears the imprints of time and culture. Maison de Nguyễn has chosen laterite for the bottle cap as a way to preserve a silent witness of time
Imperial Seal
Throughout history, the imperial seal was more than a stamp of authority. It stood as the ultimate symbol of power and legitimacy within the royal court. Maison de Nguyễn draws inspiration from this emblem to shape the bottle cap in the form of a seal, representing solemnity, rightful heritage, and the pride inherited from dynasties that helped shape the cultural and historical identity of Vietnam.
Dó Paper
From the rustic bark of the dó tree, generations past created a paper that is light yet remarkably durable over time - dó paper. Thanks to these qualities, dó paper was often used to write royal decrees, preserve sacred texts, or serve as the canvas for traditional Đông Hồ folk paintings. It is, in many ways, a medium that captures fragments of the nation’s cultural soul. Inspired by this material imbued with tradition, Maison de Nguyễn chooses dó paper for its product labels, as a way to encapsulate the spirit of Vietnamese craftsmanship.
