d'Annam Da Lat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Anh Ngo. Da Lat opens with Red Wine, Cypress, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Rose, Magnolia, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Musk, and Cedar. d'Annam's Da Lat carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly divisive rose, Da Lat is either a 'sexy, romantic' red wine masterpiece or an 'overpowering' balsamic mess. You'll either adore its unique, jammy character or be put off by its 'old-fashioned' or even 'pickles' vibe. Try before you buy.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and unique, romantic character make it a strong contender for dates and casual outings. While not overly formal, its sophistication can suit semi-formal events, but the distinct red wine note might be too bold for some office environments.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with an intriguing flourish, Da Lat immediately introduces a rich red wine note, often described as jammy or sangria-like, balanced by the aromatic crispness of juniper and cypress. This boozy, woody prelude soon gives way to a lush floral heart, where a fresh, dewy rose mingles with peony and magnolia. The dry down settles into a soft, musky base with subtle cedar and cypriol oil, lending a touch of earthy depth while maintaining a fresh, clean character.
