4 phases of roses

Past present vietnam is really good blend of rose and oud . You cane pick out different rose as scent evolves with some smoky oud , and every time is getting better and better with hints of salty ambergris . Roses in this ones are next level.most slept scent of lost tribe . And quality of roses what Matthew is using and how scent shows every rose in different aspect is from another world.

Very Expensive Bug Spray

Unfortunately, Past & Present: Vietnam seems to me to be a very imbalanced and poorly composed fragrance. The citronellol scent is SO strong that it completely overwhelms the other notes, which is tragic because there are some seriously high-quality ingredients in this juice that deserve to be enjoyed. Mathew mentioned in a private conversation that the Turkish rose otto he used has a high concentration of citronellol. Between this and the three other rose ingredients, the citronella candle / bug spray note is simply way too overbearing.

Could there have been a batch error due to a volume miscalculation or slip of the hand? Probably not. Maybe it's intended to smell like this and I'm just particularly sensitive to this compound? I don't know. Either way, it was enough to irritate my skin and give me a burning sensation in my nasal passages. I wore it twice, for about 6-7 hours each time, and it didn't transform into something more pleasant or reveal subtler notes as it dried down either -- the citronellol clung to my skin and clothes and was unrelenting.

I have sampled other Lost Tribe fragrances that I've enjoyed, but this one was a tragic whiff and miss. Hoping to find another Lost Tribe perfume that I really enjoy so that I can rectify my disappointment with this particular fragrance. Onward and upward.

Salty Rose at Dawn

Imagine a spring morning on the Vietnamese coast at sunrise: The air is clear and slightly salty, the ground still cool from the night dew. In a quiet courtyard, there is a bowl of freshly cut roses, clean and almost silky in scent. In the background, bright wood glimmers in the warming sun, while a subtle, calm depth lingers in the air. No smoke, no heaviness, but a serene, cultivated tranquility. It is exactly this tension between purity, mineral freshness, and warm, well-groomed elegance that the fragrance captures.

Past & Present Vietnam opens with a clean, soapy rose that immediately defines the character of the scent. The rose appears elegant and refined, neither sweet nor jammy, and is combined with a distinctly noticeable salty ambergris note that adds a mineral, slightly maritime freshness. As the fragrance develops, it becomes softer and warmer, transitioning into a creamy-woody base dominated by sandalwood. A subtle, well-integrated oud provides additional depth without becoming dark or smoky.

On my skin, Past & Present Vietnam lasts all day. The sillage is distinctly noticeable in the first hours with clear, confident projection and gradually becomes quieter over time, yet remains a consistently perceptible aura until the end of the day.
