*Sarsi is a sarsaparilla soda, cool, sweet and slightly bracing, well known in southern Vietnam. It is the inspiration for the sarsi leaf note in this scent.
Wearing Rose Mint Sarci at six p.m.
Six p.m. Cap on backwards, jacket a size too big, and you get to the pool table at the end of the alley before the owner does.
Tartness comes first. Blackcurrant, a small dark berry, is tart with a dry edge. Lemon is bright, tart and cold. Eucalyptus is bracing, cold and sharp, like the air that comes out when you open a fridge door.
Before the first game is over, the rose comes up, soft and bright. Right beside it is sarsi leaf, cool and sweet, slightly bracing, with a light tingle on the tip of the tongue.
By the time the lights come on, what is left on your skin is warm amber and dry, clean cedarwood.
Rose Mint Sarci is for people who like rose and want theirs cooler.

An outdoor concert

What's in the bottle
Rose Mint Sarci's seven notes are arranged in three layers. Top is what you smell as soon as you spray, Middle follows after a few minutes, and Base is the layer that stays longest on skin.
- Top
- Blackcurrant · Lemon · Eucalyptus
- Middle
- Turkish rose · Sarsi leaf
- Base
- Amber · Cedarwood
On skin, Rose Mint Sarci goes from tart, bracing and cold to soft, cool and sweet, then dry and warm.
There is no mint among the notes.
Turkish rose is the rose, soft and bright, and the body of the scent.
Sarsi leaf is cool and sweet, slightly bracing. It is the note set beside the rose, and what makes Rose Mint Sarci its own.
Eucalyptus is bracing, cold and sharp. The cool, bracing feeling in this scent belongs to it and to the sarsi leaf.
Two editions of Rose Mint Sarci
Rose Mint Sarci has two packaging designs. The scent in the bottle and the price are the same in both.
Illustrated Edition
arriving soon
The new packaging. The box is iridescent and covered in graffiti-style NOTE lettering, the NOTE logo runs down the front in pink, and the scent's name sits on a pink brushstroke.
The 50 ml bottle in the Illustrated Edition comes with a box, a carry bag, a PVC pouch and two "Style your bottle" sticker sheets drawn for Rose Mint Sarci.
The sheet is graffiti in black lines, filled in with pink and mint green. On it are a baseball cap wearing a crown, a skull in heart-shaped glasses and a patchwork teddy bear with X's for eyes. There is even a CAUTION WET FLOOR sign, not something you expect to find on a perfume bottle.
The packaging you get
In store or online, you get the packaging that is in stock when you buy. To check which edition is in stock right now, message NOTE before you order.
Inspired by a bottle of sarsi
If you grew up in southern Vietnam, you probably remember sarsi in glass bottles at the school gate, cool, sweet and slightly bracing.
That soda is the inspiration, not an ingredient. Rose Mint Sarci borrows its cool sweetness through a sarsi leaf note and sets it next to a rose. The scent is designed by NOTE in Saigon and made in Vietnam.
Try Rose Mint Sarci on your skin
A rose with sarsi sounds unusual. Spray it on your skin and decide for yourself. NOTE has three stores in Ho Chi Minh City. Stock at each one changes from day to day, so message NOTE first to find out which store has a tester.

FAQ
Is there mint in Rose Mint Sarci?
No. Mint is not among the listed notes, and the cool, slightly bracing feeling comes from sarsi leaf and eucalyptus.
How is Rose Mint Sarci different from Not A Rose?
Rose Mint Sarci has rose among its notes and sets it next to sarsi leaf. Not A Rose reminds you of a rose, yet there is no rose among its notes.
Does Rose Mint Sarci come in 10 ml or 30 ml?
Rose Mint Sarci comes in 50 ml only. To try it before you buy, visit a NOTE store in Ho Chi Minh City and spray it on your skin. Message NOTE first to find out which store has a tester.
How do I wear and store it?
Spray on your wrists, behind your ears or on your neck, 15–20 cm from clean, dry skin. Close the cap after use and keep the bottle somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight.
Where does NOTE deliver?
NOTE delivers within Vietnam, through orders placed in the online shop. If you are visiting Ho Chi Minh City, you can buy a bottle in store and take it home with you.
