Notes Metallic. Cold. Industrial. Somewhat sweet. Chemical brightness. (CH₃)₂CO. Medicinal edge. Polish. Enduring legacies. Burnt rubber. Rubber plantations. Laborious. Sweating in the tropics. French cash crops.
ABOUT You might smell like a Vietnamese nail technician after using this scent. Over 50% of nail salons in the United States are owned by the Vietnamese. In 1975, American actress Tippi Hedren gave the Vietnamese job opportunities by introducing them to her nail artist who helped trained refugees.
Fleeing from the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese found refuge and economic opportunity in the nail salon. Instead of Agent Orange, they now inhale the fumes of acetone. Inhaling one chemical to another, some things just never change.
