Three NOTE stores in Ho Chi Minh City

You can't smell a screen.

NOTE has three stores, all in Ho Chi Minh City, open every day. At each one you can spray a perfume on your skin before you choose, and take the bottle home the same day. It takes a few minutes on skin to know whether a scent suits you, so this page takes care of the directions.

Before you visit

  1. Trying a particular scent.

    Message NOTE on WhatsApp or Messenger before you come and say which store you plan to visit, so NOTE can check that a tester is on the shelf there. Larger sizes of some scents occasionally sell out.

  2. How to test on skin.

    Spray your wrist, give it a few minutes to warm up, then smell again. A perfume moves through three layers, Top · Middle · Base, which are what you smell first, what comes through after a few minutes, and what stays longest. Everyone's skin holds scent a little differently, so skin tells you more than a paper strip.

  3. Taking it home.

    NOTE does not ship overseas, so buy in store and pack the bottle in your luggage.

  4. Making your own bottle.

    9base runs perfume workshops at all three stores. Times and booking are at the9base.com ↗.

  5. Car fragrance and home scents.

    To buy car fragrance, reed diffusers, room sprays, essential oils or care blends in store, message NOTE first and NOTE will point you to a store that stocks them.
