What does Past & Present Vietnam smell like?

It opens with Bulgarian rose, Turkish rose otto and white ambergris, and May rose with Bulgarian rose absolute carry the rose through the heart. The base of deer musk, Ceylonese sandalwood and Vietnamese oud gives it a woody, creamy footing. Fresh, floral, fruity and spicy accords round out the picture.

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. It reads as suitable for both men and women. Its profile is close to Tom Ford Rose Prick (Eau de Parfum) and Louis Vuitton Rose des Vents.
