Character & development on the skin

Fragrance profile

Mooncake by d'Annam is a niche perfume that translates the festive sensuality of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival into a creamy, gourmand composition. At its centre, a multi-layered bouquet unfolds: vanilla lays down a warm, floral-sweet creaminess as a foundation that instantly recalls baked treats, while honey contributes a golden, slightly animalic sweetness that lends the composition depth and sensuality. Mung bean brings an earthy, creamy note reminiscent of traditional fillings, egg yolk adds a rich, almost caramel-like warmth that gives the fragrance its unmistakable mooncake character, salt sets a fine, tingling contrast that balances the sweetness, lotus seed contributes a powdery, mild creaminess, and syrup rounds everything off with a dark, honey-coloured glaze. Created by perfumer Anh Ngo, Mooncake is a fragrance like an evening celebrated with family under the moon – sweet, creamy, spicy and unmistakably warm.

Who is this fragrance for?

WHEN & HOW TO WEAR IT

The fragrance feels captivating and festive – perfect for everyday wear, the office, a date or special occasions when you want to radiate warmth and character. With its rich intensity, it makes a confident statement without ever feeling overloaded.

- Everyday, office, date and special occasions – from daytime into the late evening
- Autumn and winter – a fragrance for cool, festive hours
- Bold and long-lasting – a few sprays leave a sweet, creamy trail

About the brand

d'Annam

d’Annam stands for a modern, serene interpretation of Asian fragrance culture. Founded in 2022 by Nick Hoang, the brand unites Vietnamese roots with contemporary perfumery.

The name reflects exactly that: ‘An’ stands for serenity, ‘Nam’ for Vietnam. The fragrances tell of everyday moments, landscapes and traditions – not loud or showy, but subtle, atmospheric and multi-layered.

Rather than relying on clichés, d’Annam focuses on authenticity and detail. In collaboration with creatives from each region, it develops compositions that capture culture respectfully and translate it into scent.

The owner was wonderfully warm and really took her time with me, even though I turned up at the last minute. Honestly, the advice was some of the best I’ve ever had – I immediately felt welcome and in good hands. What I especially loved: there was zero sales pressure. I could take my time smelling, just go with the flow, and even left with a few small samples of my favourites.

“

Super-fast delivery, first-class quality and free samples with a personal note from the owners on top. It really doesn’t get any better. From now on, this is the only place I’ll order my perfumes!

Friendly and reliable contact, lovingly packed with a handwritten note, samples of my choice and a little extra on top. Absolutely unbeatable!

I’m usually a regular at the other well-known perfumery in Mannheim, but today I tried Essence Garden for the first time, looking for a new coconut fragrance. The advice I received was excellent: the lady was very knowledgeable and friendly and left a wonderful impression. A truly fantastic shop – 10 out of 10!

“

Packed with incredible effort and attention to detail, plus little extras. Unpacking the parcel felt like unwrapping a present. A wonderful experience! Shipping was also really quick. I’m very happy and can only give it my wholehearted recommendation! 10/10!

Really wonderful perfumery with super friendly owners. The advice was great – they took their time without ever being pushy. The selection of fragrances is excellent. To top it all off, I was given a free sample of my choice. Service like that can’t be taken for granted. I’ll definitely be back.
