There's a particular kind of morning in Vietnam — the kind where the air is already warm before 7am, where motorbikes fill the street with a low hum and the first light catches the mist still hanging over the river. You're not quite awake yet. Your coffee is coming. And somewhere between the sheets and the door, you need something to pull you into the day.
That's exactly where Wake Up begins.
The Blend
Roll it onto your wrists. Press your pulse points together — just once. Then breathe.
Lemon arrives first: clean, sharp, unapologetic. It doesn't ease you in. It wakes you. Grapefruit follows with a brightness that feels almost electric — the kind of citrus that opens your chest. Then orange softens the edges, rounds out the sharpness with something warmer, something almost like reassurance. You've got this.
And underneath it all, rosemary. Not the dried, dusty kind from a spice jar — the living kind, the kind that grows in the highland air of Đà Lạt, cool and resinous and green. Rosemary has been used for centuries across Asia and Europe to sharpen the mind, to cut through fog. Here, it anchors the whole blend — giving it purpose, not just perfume.
The result is something that smells like intention. Like the moment you decide the day is going to be yours.
Ingredients: Lemon, Grapefruit, Orange, Rosemary

How to use
Apply to pulse points — wrists, temples, behind the ears. Inhale directly from the skin, or wear it as a natural perfume oil throughout the day. Roll on whenever you need a reset: first thing in the morning, before a meeting, during that 3pm wall.
A few strokes. One breath. Back in the room.
A note on care
Not for food or drink. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or open wounds. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
Every bottle of Wake Up is hand-blended in small batches at NOTE - The Scent Lab, using ingredients sourced from Vietnamese growers and artisan suppliers. The dark glass roll-on isn't just packaging — it protects the integrity of the essential oils inside, keeping the formula as potent on day ninety as it was on day one.
At 10ml, it fits in a pocket, a carry-on, a bedside drawer. It travels with you. And if you find yourself reaching for it every morning without thinking — well, that's the point. The best rituals are the ones that become invisible.
Whether you're bringing a piece of Vietnam home with you, or simply building a morning that feels like yours — Wake Up is the kind of thing you'll want to have on hand. Small enough to give. Meaningful enough to keep.
Find it at our stores in Thảo Điền (34 Nguyễn Duy Hiệu), Nguyễn Huệ (42 Nguyễn Huệ, District 1), and Lotte Mall Westlake, Tây Hồ, Hanoi — or order online and let the morning come to you.
