WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?

Sài Gòn Sin is a sweet amber perfume that is a play on modern and tradition smells of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh(Saigon).

I imagine it sort of like... going to party on the weekend and going back to temple or church in the morning.  It mixes the complexity and duality of the modern world.  Balloon are done recreationally in Saigon so I wanted to add this note.. It is plastic-y, rubbery, and narcotic.  It is combined with Tobacco and smoke for that "sinful" modern feel.   The Saigon Cinnamon, Buddha's Hand Citron, Pemouwood, and Oud all represent the traditional side of Vietnam.

Buddha's Hand Citron is a citrus that is used during celebration and especially during the new years.  It adds a brightness to the openining.

Saigon Cinnamon and amber is the main highlight of this scent.  I created a schiff base with these materials and it gives it it's deep red coloring.

As a result, this cinnamon scent is less sharp but more narcotic and has a lot of depth.  It is addicting and a pleasing to experience.
