D'ANNAM CHINESE CALIGRAPHY REVIEWS

Fragrantica - Unique and unisex. Personally I think the paper comes up first and the coffee notes are noticeable throughout the day. Wearing this scent makes me feel very cool. My first d'Annam purchase and I'm so hooked. I'm American and I have very little connection to Asian or Chinese culture, so the smell alone brings to mind a kind of Dark Academia aesthetic. Plaid skirts, knee socks, large thick-framed glasses. Gonna go for a full bottle and it may become my signature scent.

Fragrantica - This fragrance is the skin scent of d'Annam's third collection, and it definitely feels like it could be an easy reach for me. It's like the focus lo-fi beats YouTube channel of fragrance. A sheet of paper with charts printed with printer ink, recently coffee-stained, but otherwise fresh and crisp. Just a touch powdery. I feel like I should be wearing a proper light blue button-up. Why does it make me want to tackle my emails?

One thing I particularly enjoy is that while the dry-down has that "molecular" skin-scent feel, it's not overdosed with any of the identifiable molecules like iso E. It remains balanced and retains its unique character all the way through.

Fragrantica - definitely belongs to my favorites from this house with strawberry mochi. ive started to realize that i really like ink notes and this fragrance sealed any doubts. its such a beautiful combination of coffee, ink and paper! inoffensive but powerful and rare to smell on other people. the longevity is also insane with the longest lasting note being coffee powder

Fragrantica - This is definitely my favorite of the new China collection. It's a fascinating and nostalgic scent. It smells like the office my dad worked in in the 90s. The opening is ink and paper, reminiscent of vintage printers. A few moments later the coffee comes forward. Orchid faintly lingers in the background, softening the edges. If you love art or books then I think you'll find something that speaks to you in this fragrance.

Fragrantica - Yum!! Chinese Calligraphy is my favorite perfume from the China line. The vibe to me is dusty, cold coffee, face paint from my childhood. Especially the face paint note is prominent to me, maybe those pigments have a certain scent that ink has as well?

Do I feel the concept of old leather in the distance? Perhaps a type of paper? Ah, blue ballpoint ink too... Truly unisex to my nose. So comforting and addictive....My husband and dog like it as well so I will go for a full bottle of this. It layers nicely with White Rice. Edit: I detected the scent on my clothes 24hrs later, still papery delicious
