This eau de parfum honours Vietnam's signature brew. Crafted from dark-roasted Robusta beans, which exude a bold, caramel-chocolate richness and a pronounced bitterness, it harmonizes deliciously with creamy condensed milk. Topped with ice, it becomes the iconic drink known as "Cà Phê Sữa Đá", the perfect way to start the day for most Vietnamese. This perfume interpretation is such an uncanny smell hologram, you won’t know whether to sniff or swallow!
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a slow, focused morning that begins before the city fully wakes: dark coffee in the cup, cool air at the window, and a quiet sense of appetite. It feels intimate and self-possessed, with enough smoky warmth to read as sensual rather than sugary.
How to wear
Best in cool weather or air-conditioned spaces, where its roasted coffee and woody facets stay crisp instead of turning heavy. Two sprays are usually enough; it projects as a rich, enveloping gourmand with a creamy trail that softens on skin and lingers warmly in the air.
Who it’s for
For gourmands who prefer depth over dessert, and for anyone drawn to roasted, bittersweet compositions with a smoky, woody backbone. It suits tastes that like coffee, chocolate and tonka rendered with realism and a slightly seductive edge.
Release year
2023
The nose
Anh Ngo Anh Ngo is a perfumer at IFF whose work here shows a clear interest in texture and realism: the push and pull between roasted bitterness, creamy sweetness and a dry woody frame. Vietnamese Coffee reflects the kind of modern gourmand construction that relies on contrast rather than simple sweetness, turning a familiar beverage into a polished fragrance narrative. In this composition, Ngo captures the fleeting aroma of coffee by building it into a fuller accord, moving from dark roast and chocolate into tonka, amber-like warmth and cedarwood. The result feels less like a literal drink and more like a carefully shaped olfactory memory, which suits d'Annam’s heritage-driven approach.
Collaborators
d'Annam’s founder and creative team shaped the debut Chapter 1 concept as a cultural tribute to Vietnam, framing the fragrance as part of a wider sensory portrait of the country. The house’s small-batch, locally rooted production approach also helped define the perfume’s artisanal character.
d'Annam’s story
d'Annam is a Vietnamese fine fragrance house built around cultural storytelling, artisanal craft and a contemporary reading of heritage. Its perfumes are conceived as sensory memoirs of Vietnam, with an emphasis on small-batch production, vegan and cruelty-free formulas, and packaging designed with sustainability in mind.
Vietnamese Coffee’s concept
Vietnamese Coffee was launched in 2023 as part of d'Annam’s debut collection, Chapter 1: Enchanting Vietnam. The scent was conceived as an olfactory homage to Cà Phê Sữa Đá, translating dark-roasted Robusta, condensed milk and the drink’s bittersweet creaminess into a gourmand composition with a smoky, woody finish.
